Pills-they don't go down well

Hello to all, I am two weeks out and my doc has cleared me for regular food. So far everything has been well and no problems. Having problems though getting enough fluid in. But, still working on that. But, my problem is my pills. I take two multi vitamins (chewable), one calcium three times a day (chewable), my prilosec, biotin, two antidepressent meds(total three pills), vit b12 sub lingual, and now he added on my gallbladder med which is disgusting. When I swallow a pill or two my stomach turns and I feel like vomiting. Then about 10 min later I seem to be ok. I try to scatter my pills throughout the day but that can be hard to remember.  Any thoughts? I am hoping that others have felt like this as well.  Thanks

I am 8 weeks out.  At 2 weeks, i was permitted to go back on my MS meds.  I spread them out (used to take them by the handful with no problem) and do pretty well.  I also take 2 vitamins (chewable), 3 calcium (chewable), 1 biotin and 1 prilosec and 2 antidepressants.  I don't need gallbladsr meds as my gallbladdr was removed durning my WLS surgery.  I also don't need iron as i had a hysterectomy many years ago.  I take B-12  once a month by shot.  I think the secret to taking to all the meds is spacing them out.  i also take MS meds at night.  Again, i space them out.  I, too, have trouble getting all the water down.  So i sip all day.  I am not having the same same probems as you seem to have with stomach turning and feelings of wanting to vomit.  Perhaps you have to take your meds slower?
