I hate taking pills, and I often skipped doeses of my depression medicine. I requested that I be switched to the liquid form of Prozac, but it tastes just awful! I even had it flavored with grape, and it's still horrible. It's extremely mentholated, like I'm drinking Vick's vap-o-rub! Or like a thousand peppermints. It burns my mouth and throat. I tried mixing it with applesauce tonight, and if I plug my nose, then I only get the aftertaste, which is still bad. I asked my pharmacist if I could mix it in hot chocolate because I figued that chocolate and mint doesn't taste too bad, and he's going to get back with me to make sure the heat won't change the chemical composition.
Has anyone else taken this?? Anything I can mix it in that will kill the taste (except alcohol because I don't drink)???

"Drink" the pill down with whatever liquid works best for you ...
I don't know if it a pill or not, but couldn't you crush it and mix with chocolate pudding topped with whip cream to swallow. Just a thought. Or order in a powder to mix with desserts of your choice. : )
i've never taken the liquid, but i used to take Prozac (in the generic form). it worked, but now i take other meds that are stronger... mostly antipsychotics & mood stabilizers...
i have a group you can join if you wish. it's at mindgames777.gather.com .
