Negative but you can use something else like juice or tea

Sometimes I do. I've developed the ability to salivate automatically when thinking of taking a pill so that has made it possible to swallow them if I need to without water. I developed this ability when I was about 12 and started having many migraines, so many that I always carried aspirin and didn't always have water available.

I do sometimes. There are time when I my drinking cup would be empty, and I would take my meds with out the drink. But, before I take my meds, I try and collect up the saliva in my mouth. When I think there’s enough saliva, I then take the meds. Although it doesn’t always work 100% . A lot of times, the medication would get stuck in my throat on its way down.

Another alternative way I have swallowed my meds, is by food. If I’m eating breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just snacking, I would take the meds while the foods in my mouth.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I was told not to tillt your head back. Ever sense then it works. I guess its different for everyone right? ☺️
