I am so sorry to hear that. I had a big fight to learn to take pills and keep them down, complete with so much vomiting that I had to have some extensive dental work on my front teeth and for a while pill time was pill half and hour or more, TV required, pills taken in baby food fruits because I'd associate applesauce or pudding with the pills after a few days and gag when I saw it but the baby food fruits had enough variety to allow me to not associate any one with problems. It was a really rough 2 years (?) but I'm glad I went through it because liquid meds are harder for me now than the pills were. This liquid valium is fortunately a tiny amount of liquid compared to cough syrup and I just shoot it in with syringe and then drink chocolate milk until it doesn't taste so awful. It will be interesting as I start adding more because I'll need to syringe in 2 different doses in 2 syringes with the 2nd one having only drops of medication in it. Maybe I can do both at once? We'll see but not until tomorrow. Tonight I'm on my own with my usual meds for sleep because I have to get up for therapy.
