when i was little i co uld never take tablets at all. when i was 10 i was put on a trial, of which there was no 'liquid' option- the only 2 options were 6 smaller tabs a day or 3 large. It didn't matter- they all ended up down the drain... until the pipes clogged and my father had to become 'plumber'' to fix them... after he sorted out the kitchen plumbing, the shower pipes and the bathroom sink pipes I was not in his good books lol. Anyway, I had to learn to take them. I have never understood it either, but for someone who so readily ODs, why do i have so many probs taking them? It kinda cycles for me too- sometimes i can take all my tabs at once, other times (like at the mo) I literally throw up anything that is in my mouth (I think it is almost mind over matter, but does create a lot of cleaning)!! So sorry, no tips but just lots of encouragement. p.s. at 1 stage things went so well with swallowing tabs that i even managed to swallow 1 of mine without water a couple of times... not now tho!
