In the past I have tried to OD a few times. However now I'm having an issue with swallowing pills, I gag soon as I put one in my mouth. Any recommendations or help to stop this?

Tried but with codeine it tastes disgusting. Makes me gag even more.

Is it a psychological or physical issue? I could never swallow pills, I had to train myself to do it using m&m's/smarties. I'd cut them in half until I could manage it whole. When I started taking antidepressants I had to hide them in soft food just to trick myself into swallowing them
Its psychological but it is like my throat closes soon as one
It is psychological. Although I feel my throat closing when I place a pill in my mouth. Never thought about m&ms might give that a try. I did try the hiding in soft food however because i knew they were there it didn't work.

I would try dissolve them in Red ball or Ribena something with a strong taste or blend them with a fruit coctail, who am I kidding I would drink 10 cans of Stella and then start adding them to the next 10, lol.

I personally chew them. I'm scared of choking on one and would rather deal with the taste ( of course I have something to drink close by)
Some tablets come in oral dispersable, tell GP whoever gave them to you to see if that is an alternative for your medication there is also liquid alternatives for a lot of medication. I'm on oral dispersable (antipsychotic) just reminds me off taking a vitamin tablet as a kid in regards to the taste, i just keep it in the side of my cheek till it goes or you can put in a drink.

Alcohol is toxic though! I'm not saying this won't work, but alcohol is toxic, and as you take toxic quantities of pills also, you're only increasing the likelihood of vomiting.
Perhaps just something to be wary of:)

I have the same issue! I thought I was the only one. The motion gets to me uneasy. I hate taking my daily medication because it's a reminder.

I used to have the same problem as you, you can try crushing them or just breaking them into smaller bits and drink that or make it into powder and put it in water or some juice. It's pretty time consuming by hand so a blender is best. But if you're trynna OD on pills I advise u not to cause it's most likely not gonna work and you're just gonna end up in the hospital with a pumped up stomach

How many pills are you talking about?
Do you mean just a regular dose of 2 tablets, or a large quantity? Xx

What about crushing them and adding them to ice cream? Or yogurt? So that you won't notice the grainy bits so much, just swallow it straight down, no chewing. Xx
As a nurse working with patients who had swallowing issues we would put the pills in apple sauce or pudding which would help them swallow the pills, for some people we had to crush and put the powder in the pudding. If I was you, I'd crush em, put it in pudding with some good chocolate syrup and maybe a bit of whipped cream. But if the problem is psychological, this may not be the way.
