Hi Glad you get to taper. I just take them with my breakfast half way threw and try to swallow them as fast as I can and then eat some more breakfast. Hate to say it but I guess I am getting used to it or something because it doesn't bother me as much they are nasty if you leave them in your mouth too long.

Could try putting them furthur back in mouth but not too far. Good luck and happy tapering. Thank you both.. I think i will try the juice idea and see about putting them further in my mouth..

I hate the taste myself but just live with it or brush my teeth and use mouthwash after.
