Have To Crush All My Meds.

My doctor told me I have to crush all my meds before I take them. I have tried everything I can think of to put all these nasty crushed pills in to make it easy to swollow like jello, pudding, yogurt , and a liquid vitamin. I am having a hard time with this. Does anyone have any suggestions to make this easier. Please help.

I just tried all my crushed meds with the sugar free choc syrup. And it worked like a charm! I couldn't taste them at all. Thank you Krystacoyle.

I have to take blood pressure meds and GERD medicine but, the doctor and nurses told me I could cut them in forths to take them. I've been doing that and I've been fine.

I bet the choco syrup works great though.

I'm 2 days post op and I purchased a pill cutter, taking my pain meds by 1/4's or 1/3's depending how they crack. I swallow with an punch of my protein drink and it goes down smooth and tasteless tha k goodness!

Note to Self - Buy SF chocolate syrup! I take a lot of meds and will need to do a lot of cutting and crushing. The chocolate syrup sounds like the perfect solution to me. :wub:

I used no sugar added applesauce. That worked the best for me.

My surgery is in 1 week so I am having this dilemma at the moment. My dr did tell me I would need to crush mine. I take Neurontin and the pills are on the larger side. I crushed one tonight as a prep and it was a pain to do. Bet it tastes GROSS.

So for those who used the SF choc syrup; on what day following surgery did you start? I do not want to miss ONE day of my meds. OK so I guess I will miss a day, but want to start right away.
