Keep the tablet in the middle of your tongue and you won't crunch it up, but when you've finished chewing the food just swallow normally. It seems to stop you worrying that you'll choke on the pill and trick you into thining you've crunched it into small bits.
I'd double check that about the drs though, I've never heard of there being an age limit at an NHS practise, are you using private medical care?
why don't you ask the chemist if he will swap the same amount of tablets you have left for liquid? If he needs to, he will phone the doctor to check but I don't see why he shouldn't do it - it makes no difference to him and you're only asking for the same drug.
In the meantime, i would say it's important for you to get your medication, so crush one of the little *******! Surely it's more important to get the stuff down somehow, than not at all?
Thanks for all your help i really do appreciate it all..
I've tried swallowing the tablets with food but it just wont work, because my thoat is swallow and i can just about get my food down my thoat let alone the tablet with it >.< gosh ! i wish it would just go down my thoat, i'm scared of wasting all my tablets. I've been sick 5 times just trying to swallow them..
Thanks all xx
