You should be able to hold the meds with no problem. It is only 1-2 teaspoons. If the taste gags you, have a cup of Water ready to swish and spit right after you take it.

Ooooh I feel your pain....it is SO disgusting! I couldn't do it...they gave it to me in the hospital and I squirted just a ill in my mouth and almost lost it. I was already so nauseated and to try to take that, no way. My poor nurse was laughing and she said she didnt know why they would give it either. I was able to take tiny sips to swallow pills and I was able to get a script for Ultram. I hope you find a way to take it or have them give you something else. :)

I chased it with low sugar apple juice or grape juice and did the hold-my-nose thing. Seemed to work.

I couldn't take the lortab (to many allergies to pain meds) so they put me on rybix 50mg it is tramadol 50mg and is a melt away that taste like mint I really liked it and so easy to take.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
