You can take Rybix ODT (tramadol) without water. It comes in a tablet designed to dissolve on the tongue before being swallowed. It takes about a minute for Rybix ODT to completely disintegrate; if you want to drink water after you swallow it, that's fine. Do not chew or break the tablet before taking it.
