Aight, lots of discussion on tricks here - adding one to the pile.

Use food.

Especially fibery food that still has some texture when you chew it up, vs something like a banana that just chews down to a liquid anyway.

Think like Triscuits or something.

Anywho, add food of choice to your face. Chew it up until you're ready to swallow- but don't swallow. Grab your pill, and shove it right into the middle of your mass of Triscuit paste. Then swallow.

The mass of food will just push the pill right along with it - you'll barely even notice it's there.

People struggle with liquids because they just wash around the pill without pushing it.

Food is king for pill taking.

Apple sauce or ice cream work well

Yeah I would probably start there instead of triscuit paste but, hey, everyone has their own style!
