Problems swallowing pills?

I have a handful of pills that I have to take every night, but the only ones that give me problems are my metformin, and I need to take them for at least another month.  Pre-pregnancy, I could toss back all three pills at once with a sip of water; now I take one at a time with a lot of water and still gag.

These pills are big--like Women's one-a-day--but without a coating, so the texture is chalky.  Is there anything I can do to make them easier to take? I thought of breaking them in half, but I'm worried the jagged edge will make them harder to swallow.
