What kind of pills are they? Capsules or hard ones?

I've taken a LOT of pills in my life. I'm used to taking them by now, but if they're capsules, you can open them and mix it with some jam or peanut butter on a spoon - actually doesn't taste all that bad! The only reason they'd be in a capsule is to ensure they actually get into your stomach before they work (or could be time-release, but it's not a big deal if they work a bit faster!)

If they're the hard solid pills though, I'd say go for any of the methods people said (like the bread). Chewing those kinds of pills is usually pretty nasty tasting.

If you're still not keen on pills, maybe there's a liquid form you could take instead? Better to ask your pharmacist, also about methods to take your pills.

It's more just a learning experience and constant practice and eventually it comes pretty naturally. (I can now swallow pills whole without water because my body is used to it).

Good luck.
