Help ! Cannot get the meds or vitamins in.. 4 days post op

I had surgery on Monday and I have meds you to take that my doc prescribed and my pre op meds as well. This morning I took out the meds from my nexium and med for preventing gall stones from the capsule. Put in a little Water..added sugar free limeade. It was so horrible to taste .but I did swallow these meds.. Then a few hours I smashed my meds that I have bebe taking for a long time. Lexapro , Wellbutrin and a lose dose blood pressure pill. I put in a little bit of water but hardly ingested cause not too long after I took the nexium., etc.. My body rebelled and through it up. My chest was hurting with gas also. I started feeling very nausea and then I threw up .

How can I take my meds without spewing it. up. I am afraid if I don't keep my antidepressants, down..I will be adversely affected and my mood will change for the worse. Please let me know what u did to take meds in a way that is tolerable. Thanks.. Your suggestions are much appreciated.

To be honest, I didn't try to take my meds for the 1st few days post-op. I was barely able to sip water and take a bite of a Popsicle. So I focused on staying hydrated. After about day 7, I was able to swallow my meds. You might contact your doctor and find out if there are liquid versions of your meds he can substitute.

That sounds reasonable.. My tummy cannot tolerate all these meds. Thanks for your help
