How can i get over my fear of swallowing pills at 20?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Think about it: As food. Pills are really no different than swallowing food. You could try putting the pill in something soft like peanut butter. Or take big gulp of water to help pass it without feeling it. If you really can't get past it, then you could try hypnosis therapy.
