I have an extremely difficult time swallowing pills and tablets and I just started a very important antibiotics course that I need that is made up of 5 pills twice a day. I’ve spent three hours this morning trying to get them down but they keep dissolving because I have to try so many times but I can’t get it. I managed to get two down somehow but I’m struggling with the rest and I have to do this again at dinner and for the next 2 weeks. 

I cannot cut them in half or crush them, I’ve asked. They are only the size of advil tablets but I’ve never been able to do those either. i am at a loss and so upset with myself. I actually got a stomach ache and pounding heart from the stress of it and I don’t know how I can do this twice a day for two weeks without it being all I can think about. 

I know that my primary problem is a mental block and anxiety because I was able to swallow two somehow. I can’t figure out how to overcome the mental block
