Eat peanut butter. It will make the pill go down instantly. Sit up (don't lie down or recline) and drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Warm liquids may help to dissolve a pill a little faster. A few bites of something starchy like bread or rice can help. If the pill doesn't dislodge by itself, it is best to seek professional medical help, as some pills can actually cause harm to the lining of your esophagus if left unchecked.

Has anyone had a Strattera capsule stuck in their throat?
It happened to me the second day I took the pill -- really frightened me. In addition to all the things you mentioned in your post, I Thought I was having a heart attack. Hasn't happened since tho... Usually I take pills dry, but it obviouslt doesn't work that way (for me) with capsules. "Osmotic burn?" I had a tetracycline capsule stick in my throat once. After 2 days of it still feeling like it was there, I called my doctor, and... ...she said sometimes a capsule gets stuck, the shell dissolves, and a compact enough lump of dry powder gets left in one place long enough to cause an osmotic burn. -IOW, the powder (can be anything that dissolves in water) dehydrates to death some of the surrounding cells (a la salt-on-a-slug). Washing the pill down with more water (and after too) & food was the recommendation. That worked for me, and the feeling went away after 4-5 days. For reference, I only had the sensation of the cap being stuck in my throat for days and swallowing being a little painful. No other symptoms. I'm not a doctor, and as always YMMV, etc. etc.

Very smoothe, very nice and easy pill to contain. Very nice buzz, almost feels like you're dying but in the best way possible. Warm, content, and feels like the most amazing experience that could happen in life. Know your tolerance though, dont overdose and die

How long will your throat be sore after swallowing a pill the wrong way?
your throat should not be sore. It may feel a little funny at the least. You can not swallow a pill "the wrong way" If I were to guess you had the pill graze against the lining of your esophagus. It will leave a weird feeling for a couple minutes. (The above current answer is condescending - obviously the throat of the person asking the question IS sore.) Describing my perhaps similar experience may be helpful. Several times over the last several years (once about 4 hrs ago) - an insufficiently chewed hard chunk of fruit or salad vegetable (tonight it was slices of apple that caused my problem) feels like it 'gets stuck' when swallowed. After considerable coughing and spitting, although the offending object is apparently expelled, I am left with a 'sore throat' that I dare not swallow with because it is sore (bruised? strained? lining grazed?), and it feels like something may remain stuck in the throat which could go down the wrong way if swallowing is attempted. After three or four scary hours soreness subsides to the point that swallowing can be gradually and cautiously resumed. Keep to liquids and soft foods. The slight soreness continues to gradually recede and takes a couple of days to completely disappear.
