I was nervous...

...I had a headache today.  First time I've had a really bad headache since surgery and so for the first time ever, I took a Tylenol in the form of a pill.  I was nervous...I cut it in half.  I popped those halves in my mouth one at a time.  It was uneventful - they went down fine and headache is gone. lol I still do chewable everything even almost a year post op...vitamins, calcium and liquid (sublingual) B-12 so I took the big plunge today with the Tylenol and it wasn't so bad.  I guess once my chewable Flinstones run out I can graduate to the Viactive Glides I had bought and have in stock. lol Okay carry on. lol Michelle

Good to know -- I just bought tylenol capsules for "just in case" because the Tylenol liquid had too much sugar (figure that??).  Im still opening and sprinkling my capsules onto yogart every morning.  Afraid the capsule will get stuck.  But my other pills are so small I swallow those.  I love the Flinstones so even if I could I don't know if I'd want to change..... Thanks for the info....

Yeah I like the Flinstones too actually.  I wish they'd make the gummy ones in Complete because they are reallly tasty. lol I bought the chewable Tylenol once when I had a toothache and those were horrid.  Never again.  Blech! Michelle :)

I remember being there!  So scared it would get stuck! And all worked out well!  Way to Graduate

I bought a pill cutter and I cut all my pills into smaller sizes.  I've never had anything get stuck, and my doc said I shouldn't, but I've heard the horror stories so I'm really careful.

I was really nervous about taking my full pills, but I got tired of the nasty taste of my anti-depressant and so tried it whole last month and it was fine.  Then just this week I switched out all of my chewable supplements for the regular pill kind and have had no problems at all.  Gald you were also able to learn that pills are okay!

Wow, it took you a year to take a pill? I think it was 2 or 3 weeks for me! I love me some pills - I couldn't handle the chewable crap - I would gag each time I tried. To this day, I can't do chewables.

Yep, a whole year...not sure why I waited so long but I did.  I don't mind the chewables though.  I think they make pretty decent flavors for the calcium and Flinstones. :) Michelle

I've been taking pills since I was in the hospital.  The only things I chewed were Tums and Flintstones, and I graduated from those in just a few months!  Depending on the size, I usually take two at a time now.  (I've got lots to take throughout the day!)

Michelle, I now can take the Tylenol EZ tabs.  It's taken me 3 months to try them again, I got one stuck about 4 weeks out and it scared the crap out of me.  No problem now but I drink lots of water with them.  I haven't tried a capsule yet but that may be my next challenge.  I take chewable Centrum or Flintstone and will stay with them cuase I like them.  I can't do the liquids..........Way too sweet.
