What's the nastiest tasting medicine you've ever taken?

[imabrat]

It can be anything from coughdrops to prescribed medication.

I'm on Flagyl for a bacterial infection. I took this in February last year. These pills are like, 1/4 of an inch long and 1/10th of an inch thick. They are very nasty, and I never took them. (shhh, but I'd hide them from the nurse!)
Well, I'm on it again. They gave them to be in a small dose this time, but they're round pills. (Kind of look like a thick asprin) I can't take them. So now I'm on the liquid form of this which they don't normally make. This is the last option because the other things I'm allergic to.

I also had to take these nasty vitamins. They're calcium, and I need them because my bones are weak from chemo. I still need to take them, but I switched to Viactiv instead. Don't tell my doc,hahaha!

Tylenol Cold and Flu stuff with mint.
It's like mouthwash mixed with cough syrup.
I felt sick for an hour after having that.
It makes your nose HURT from the smell too!
It's waaayyy worse than Buckley's.

i have to take this migrain medication. they're super dooper tiny and hard to swallow (cause they get lost in my mouth!) they're the tiniest pills i've ever taken beofre (and i take about six pills a day) and they taste AWFUL. they chalk up my mouth and make me gag.

BUCKLEY'S COUGH MEDICINE!

Nyquil tastes pretty horrid too! Ick. And then it kinda burns. It helps but it makes me feel crappy.

I always found Dayquil WAY worse.
That makes me feel nauseous for a bit before it starts to work.

Robitussin is pretty bad.
I once had to take a honey flavored Robitussin. Oh god, that was worse.

Really? I've never had DayQuil.

I'm the freak that actually likes most cough syrups. I like Robitussin.

It's NASTY!
I want some chocolate-flavoured medicine.
Not the stuff that says it tastes like that flavour, I want it to actually taste the same.
That would make me a very happy person.

I hate penicillen (is that how you spell it?)
it's disgusting. i actually can't keep it down D:
but i suppose they can't make them taste really nice because then people would just take it for the taste and take too much

 

[marypops!]

I had to take this powder stuff you put in water when I wouldn't stop vomiting. It was supposed to have flavours like blackcurrant, or lemon, but they all tasted like salt. I couldn't have anything to eat or drink other then that for the whole day. It was disgusting.

 

[Ppufi]

I had to take this medicine when I was little and well, it was chunky. Dx

Pretty much all my meds have tasted awful. I always hated med time at the hospital. ugh. -shudder-

Right now I take Bactrim, though. It's really, really gross.

 

[PosessedEeyore]

When I had the stomach virus about 5 years ago, I had to take this stuff called Mentomex. dooodd, it made me sicker than i already was. It was horrible. Worst thing I had ever tasted.

 

[Disney Dork]

Nyquil, definitely. It may cause you to stop coughing, but that's only because your too busy doing something else instead after you take it.

I'll go to the doctor before I take that stuff again. At least the doctors version of cough medicine tastes like cherries.

 

[BelleGirl09]

robitussin cough syrup is the worst medicine i've ever had. i won't take cough syrup now because of it

 

[Babyjustrun]

Cherry cough syrup. It's like the only thing that works, and it's disgusting.

There's two kinds of grape syrup. One is for runny noses, it taste fantastic. the other is for cough and it's NASTY.

Some weird pink pills I took as a kid. I had to chew them and they tasted pretty bad.

And Pepto Bismol pills. When you try to swallow them, even with water or whatever, they get stuck to the roof of your mouth. NEVER take them with water, beceause then you can taste the pill, and it doesn't taste like Pepto Bismol. It taste so bad, and I mean you're taking it for upset stomach.. so you'd probably end up puking, I almost have.

mhmm. I totally agree. i've taken it three times, and if I smell it first, I can never get it down.

 

[wdwllamadancer]

i remember taking this liquid stuff when i was little and it was urine yellow and tasted digusting. I think the name of it starts with a z. i cant think of it though

I have never had it. I'm allergic.
When I was 10, I think, I had an infected finger, and the medicine was bitter if you didn't swallow it within the first 2 seconds. It was, well...Frothy is the only word I can think to describe it.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

mucinex pills are nasty.
sudafed liquid medication is worse.
actually, just about any liquid medicine is gross if it's not orange flavored.
and my BC pills taste like chalk.
