I had my first fill yesterday and this morning as I'm trying to take my pills, they keep getting stuck... what do I do? Is this normal?

If they can be crushed, do that. But some are time released and can't be crushed. Can your pharmacy give you a liquid version?

I won't allow a fill too tight for me to take my meds. I actually take two Tylenol arthritis caplets during each fill under fluoroscopy before I walk away to make sure I don't get stuck.

Good luck.

Some people have no problems,name can't swallow even tiny pills. Because it can cause irritation if pills designed to dissolve in the acidity of the stomach dissolve in the oesophagus, you need to take care, in addition, if you bring them back, you may not get the correct dose. A friend of mine ended up in ER because of a stuck tablet.

Slow release tabs are a problem but many banded people choose not to risk getting stuck, I either get meds in liquid form, cut tabs, crush them, disssolve them,

Pills are the one thing that I seem to consistently have a problem with. I got stuck on a relatively small one even before I'd had my first fill. Now, I just crush everything or break them in half.
