For a long time, I have had a really hard time with swallowing pills.  I guess my biggest fears are having the pill get stuck and blocking my breathing or sucking it into my lungs.  I currently take 2 prescriptions per day (3 pills total) and it increases my anxiety a ton (ironically one is an ssri).  I almost feel like I have to have the perfect combination of liquid in my mouth and the position of the pill in order to get myself to swallow. It can take up to 5 minutes to get to this point...

Does anyone have any tips on making this easier?
