Quite a few. 8 on a regular basis. Some are hunking vitamin pills.

I have had 10 at breakfast time. They ususally go down with one swallow

A bunch of deep throats here! I swallow 8 Vitamins and Pills one at a time with a sip of water. Those Vitamins are hard to get down and I save them for last.

I can swallow 2 aspirin, that's about it. I don't take any pills on a regular basis.

I dump 8 in my mouth each morning and swallow them all at once.

I used to choke on 1 when I was little, but now I can do about 5. Luckily, I usually don't have need to do any more then that!

Don't forget the time I got two large ones stuck in my throat. That was no fun!

I do 7 with a 1/2 a glass of water.

Hardest for me to swallow are the fish oil capsules!

Why are the fish oil one's so large!! I can swallow a bunch at a time, but not those.

My mom was a college health nurse and had to teach a lot of the students to swallow pills. Funny, she could barely swallow one, herself - LOL...

One...I have a very low gag reflex.

Glenda, I, too, am wondering why the fish oil pills are so large.

Calcium pills are huge too.
I only take a Multi-vitamin and B-Complex and baby asprin in the morning.
2 stinking huge calcium at supper time. I'd say its a safe bet I don't want to add the fish oil ones.

When I visit my dr yearly, always take a list of vitamins, prescriptions for him to review.
One he nods his head at is the fish oil capsules, and says keep taking!

Here I thought that the topic was to be stories ...

... of the fish (oil) kind?

Sorry - I don't have an answer to the question ... I hardly ever take pills.

We used to take a (tea)spoonful of cod liver oil every morning (in winter, if I recall). Capsules (yes, fairly large ones) were available - but rather too expensive for Dad's (dare I say?) - "taste"!

The reason for the large pills/capsules? They find it hard to condense the fish oil ... same for calcium.

The calcium are big and hard, fish oil soft gel and big. I can only do those one at a time. I hate when they seem to go down sideways and feel stuck. Smaller pills I will take 4 at a time. I don't want to chance choking.

The calcium I take aren't very big. They're sort of a caplet size. The last Glucosamine/Chondroiten/MSM were huge. The others I've taken weren't.

Never took fish oil. My sister did and she stopped because of the breath smell and she works with the public. But I see they have an odorless version out now.

I take 3 at bedtime, one at a time. Sometimes they stick in my throat. I never was very good at taking pills, especially big ones like the Glucosamine/Chondroiten/MSM ones. Half the time it goes down wrong.

I don't take many pills, but I've never been able to swallow more than one at a time! (Sensitive gag reflex, I guess.)

Sheryl

Only 1 and I sometimes gag with that! I choked on a fish bone when I was about 6 yrs old and It left me with a fear of choking. Even when I eat a hard sweet (candy) I chomp it up into smaller bits! lol!

Karen

When I was younger I could gulp down a handfull,,,,now I cant hardly manage two at once.Have to take so darned many,and they just gag me.The calcium pills are the worst! UGH!

Ten in assorted sizes, a couple tiny ones, 4 oblong ones, some aspirin sized.

Oh, just one at a time for me.

I take 5 with breakfast and four with dinner. I need about a half cup of liquid to get them down.

my mom takes about 10 or 11 at a time, including calcium and some other honkers...I can't even watch, makes me want to gag myself. LOL!!
I am lucky to get down 2 Advil at a time.
