   It depends on the shape and size of the pill. Standard round old aspirin, no.

   Yeah, nothing to it. If it has a hard time going down for you, hold it in your mouth for a while, build up some saliva, and send it down the hatch.

   Aspirin, no problem. But I take fish oil capsules, and they're huge.
   No way I could swallow those without water.

   I can't swallow anything but liquid medicine. I have no idea why. I know people make fun of it, but some people are afraid of spiders and snakes and that makes no sense to me. We all have our fears.

      Exactly why medicines also come in tablet and capsule forms.
      I for one hate liquid meds ever since my childhood days.

    I can't do tablet or capsule either. Im a lost case here. Some of the liquid medicine taste OK. I get the bubblegum flavor antibotics.

    Yes, without problem. I usually take pills if I need to take them with water or whatever, but I don't need to. Its like a cushioned toilet seat (in a way).

    Depends on what it is. Coated pills such as ibuprofen yes no problem. Chalky pills rather not, I can but have the potential for heartburn as the chalkiness leaves it's residue on the way down. Pills really should be taken with water tho to help break it down in your system. I have taken my vitamins without liquid before too which is a nice size multivitamin and 2 liquid capsules at a time. Prefer not to take any of these without water or some kind of liquid.

    Nope, I need that liquid. The few times I have tried has generally resulted in lots of gagging and bile in return. My husband can though without a problem.

    Yes, thanks to MacGyver.
    
    When I was a kid I saw an episode of MacGyver where he was poisoned, and had only a few seconds left to live. He swallowed a pill with an antidote without water, and was saved. I thought what would happen if I was in that situation, so I taught myself to swallow pills without water.

    but dont ever try for every tablet because there are some tablets which may cause effects in your esophagus which may eat it up and makes you difficult for eating and drinking also. some doxycycline tablets may affect in this way. so i suggest you to drink water after you take tablet. for information,
