    Yeah! This is it. The amount of people who just put the pill in their mouth and THEN drink water surprises me. Every time I’ve done that with a specific type of pill, it would leave some extremely bitter powder on my tongue! Easily avoidable by putting water in first.

      I misheard my mom and started putting them under my tongue as a kid then using the water to swish it down. Works relatively well

      I feel like putting the pills in your mouth first works a bit better when you have a bunch of pills to take. I take four pills every morning (ADHD, antidepressant, allergy pill, and L-methylfolate because of dumb genes) and I’ve tried both ways. The pills-first approach is just faster and easier for me, and I don’t mind the taste. Hell, I weirdly like the taste of my ADHD meds 😅 I will absolutely do the water first thing when taking something disgusting though. I tend to close my mouth and tilt my head forward rather than back, however.

      I don’t know why my client posted this comment 4 times… Sorry about that.

        Lol. I hear ya, but I have taken like 6 pills at once using the water first method. That’s fair, to each their own!
