I had trouble swallowing pills for the longest time. First of all, see if you can get that ibuprofen in gel capsule form. Those don't taste as bitter and are much easier to swallow. Toss the pill into the back of your mouth, then take a gulp of water and swallow. If the pill doesn't go down right away, don't panic...take another gulp of water. You'll get it eventually.

Once you've gotten pretty good at swallowing gel capsules, it'll be easier to swallow actual pills. You can't keep those in your mouth for very long, though, because once they start dissolving they taste terrible.

My best advice is to stop psyching yourself up and DO IT! I hope that helps. Good luck!
