Zoloft pills stick in my pouch every time. It hurts!

I've taken Zoloft 2x a day for years, but now that I've had my surgery, about four weeks ago, I'm having trouble with them. They seem to stick in my pouch, and give me a stomach ache. Sometimes I even get dry heaves from it. I've tried breaking them in half, taking it on an empty stomach, a full stomach, even coating the tablet with butter! I crushed one once, but the taste was so horrible I couldn't gag it down. My pharmacist said Zoloft does not come in a liquid form. I'm tired of going through this pain twice a day. What can I do? By the way, I also take Zantac twice a day, and even though they are a larger pill, I have no trouble with them. Help!
