I'm sitting here with the second dose ready to go and physically can't pull myself to drink it. Is there a secret to help it go down a little easier?

Use a thick straw, place it so the end is at the back of your tongue and drink fast. Follow it up immediately with cold water. I did this yesterday. I've heard plugging your nose helps, but it didn't make a difference to me. The second round was easier than the first for me because I downed it all in one go. If you stop part way through the taste will get to you and it is just like starting over to continue.
I'm sure you've done it by now, but I thought I would post for anyone else out there who needs it.

It's better when it's cold compared to room temp (if you can call any prep "better" LOL)...I used to chew a wad of flavorful gum after each gulp as well to help kill some of the horrid taste of the prep, all in all, it's gross and tough to get through but you will.
Good luck!

Thanks...I did get through it. The trick I used was drinking it as much as I could then licked an orange. The thought of it still makes me shutter and physically feel sick. Sure as hell hope I don't have to do it again soon.
Thanks for the tricks, though.
