    I'm having the same problem & have kinda gotten around it. I have breakfast & while I still have a bit of toast in my mouth, stick the pill in & swallow. I'm tricking my brain into thinking I'm just swallowing food! It works most of the time!

    I moved onto Megafol for this exact reason! I also have a horrible gag reflex and found this combined with my vomiting in early pregnancy was just too much. Megafol is a pretty tiny tablet and I could get this one down without noticing.

    You can get a pill crushing device at the pharmacy, and pull capsules apart. Stir the pill contents into juice or honey or jam & swallow it down that way. Works for most things but check with yr pharmacist before doing it with script pills as sometimes they are not suitable.
