Hi ! I take Zoloft and Zyrtec and Prilosec. I took all of them from the day of surgery on. For the first 3 weeks they were crushed. Now I can actually swallow them with Water.

I am also on zoloft and have been for close to 3 years. Is the liquid zoloft really that bad? What'd you mix it with?

I was told I will need to take prilosec after surgery. How terrible is the crushed meds? Can I put the pill in a bite of jello or something to slide it down?

My sister just had surgery and was instructed to crush all pills and put them in unsweetened applesauce. She said the taste was almost unbearable.

It's very bitter and nothing I drank took the taste out of my mouth so I nibbled on a saltine cracker.

I won't lie, it's bitter but I would put it in jello, applesauce, pudding ... Whatever works !!!

but it needs to be crushed, right? to help me take pills when I was younger my mom would put the pill in a teaspoon of grape jelly (not the healthiest way to do things, lol)
