tykerb help?
 
It may sound weird but I since childhood have had a severe fear of taking any and all medications in a pill form. Ive done everything and even tried help. I never have oassed this fear. Anything that is hard pill form I either crush or chew. Thankfully I found a pharmacy that can turn any med. to a liqued form. Sadly however someone at the pharmacy burnt themselves with the liqued Tykerb and they told me they can no longer turn Tykerb into a liqued form. I dont want to stop taking it but have been told it shouldnt be crushed. Has anyone ever heard that med tykerb can not be crushed?

You heard right, Tykerb is never to be crushed or chewed....what about if you put it in thick pudding? Hoping you are able to find a way to take it, it is so important.
