can I snort clonazepam?

[kpunk2017]

got some pills, to be honest snorting is a lot more fun, but idk about the potency, should I just shallow?

There is no point. Has a lower bioavailability than oral (benzos have near 100% oral bioavailability). Snorting fillers damages your sinuses. Benzos do not provide a rush. You're wasting drugs by snorting benzos.

Yes, you can snort it. But it's also a very dubious and wasteful thing to do.

If you need a "snorting fix" you're better off eating the pills and snorting some water, preferably distilled water or saline.

I can confirm from over 2 years of benzo abuse, snorting will not produce the high you seek. Swallow the pill, drink some water, and wait.

you can only snort a substance that is water suluble. so benzodiazepines is a no.

 

[Joey]

The bioavailability as in the percentage of drug which your body absorbs is near 100 percent with benzoes taken orally. You could sniff it, but there's almost no point. The first answer in the thread is the right one.

If you snort them, given the water-insolubility of Clonazepam (Klonopin), you will feel the effects of the drug eventually after mucous and what have you eventually washes it down to your gut. Swallowing them is the way to go.

No

Clonazepam can be snorted. It might not be the most effective way to absorb it but it does work.

It feels cool and minty in your nose.

I have a lot of experience with this. It seems to vary from benzo to benzo, and like others have pointed out, there is no real rush and has a very high oral bioavailability, while most of them have a low intranasal bioavailability. The science behind this is proven and widely accepted.

Now, I will report my findings. I have found that while it doesn't provide an extreme effect instantly like other drugs, it does have a somewhat instant effect. Especially pressed bars, and I also found what doesn't hit you then, does hit you later. Once you put something inside of your body, it can not be un-taken as we all know, and it will hit your system eventually. I think its wasteful, but I still do it because I enjoy railing. If you are low, definitely avoid this. If you want to rail something and have some to spare, its not any worse than snorting anything else.

I've heard midazolam is one that can be snorted but it's a benzo I've never tried. Like others have said, the B/A of oral benzos is high so any other ROA is just a waste imo

Do you can back that up anyhow? I know there are ampules for rectal administration of diazepam but I’ve never real that something like clonazepam can be snorted.

Oral might be still better BA but clonazepam gets absorbed better than most other sublingually, so if I am not mistaken it should somewhat do something nasally too. Done it many times sublingually, it works.

Absorption of clonazepam after intranasal and buccal administration - PubMed

Serum concentrations of clonazepam after intranasal, buccal and intravenous administration were compared in a cross-over study in seven healthy male volunteers. Each subject received a 1.0 mg dose of clonazepam intranasally and buccally and 0.5 mg intravenously. A Cmax of 6.3 +/- 1.0 ng ml-1...

Benzos - Sublingual Klonopin

I took 4mg klonopin over an hour ago sublingually and it still hasnt kicked in. This happened a few weeks ago and I took 4 more mg and itall hit me hard at once.. Why does it take so long to hit my sublingualy? Would I be better off taking them orally from now on? I just like taking them...

[Pissed_and_messed]

Or I am totally lost making connection with sublingual and nasal route? Anyway the study implies it is worth something at least.

 

[Pissed_and_messed]

Intranasal clonazepam (5 mg ml-1) was prepared by dissolving clonazepam (Bufa, The Netherlands)
together with dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin (Avebe, The
Netherlands) in a molar ratio of 1:8 in 96% v/v
ethanol. The solvent was evaporated and the residue
redissolved in 0.9% w/v saline. The pH was adjusted
to 3.0. The intranasal spray device was a unit-dose
pump (Pfeiffer GmbH, Germany).
ok this totally changes it. this is apparently referring to the study, pointed out in

For fun I add quote from NJ addiction resources bullshit warning!!!

Clonazepam, or Klonopin, is administered as oral tablets taken with water or wafers that are self-dissolving. However, individuals who abuse Klonopin may crush these tablets to powder form and snort them instead because it increases the onset of the sedating and calming rush.

The bioavailability of any medication is the amount of the drug taken that gets absorbed and activated inside the body. In the case of Klonopin, the target areas are the brain and the nervous system. Thus, the bioavailability of Klonopin would be the amount of the substance able to create a sedative effect on the nervous system. Snorting rather than swallowing Klonopin causes it to reach the brain quickly. There, it causes an immediate tranquil or sedated feeling and may attain peak concentration within minutes.


There are inherent dangers in snorting Klonopin. One significant hazard is the risk of overdosing. Since several tablets have to be crushed to get enough Klonopin powder to snort, exceeding the prescribed dosage is not unusual. Individuals also run the risk of becoming addicted to the drug as their bodies develop tolerance over time. Other dangers are damages to the nostrils and buccal cavity.

This is purely for fun, don't take this seriously!!!

 

[Snafu in the Void]

@Pissed_and_messed regular pills and sublingual tablets have different formulations.

Also those addiction pages that hog the first page of google searches are full of bullshit like that.

I'll throw this one out there for those of you who think solubility is necessary for intranasal.

25i -NBOH is almost insoluble in water yet you trip balls almost instantly from snorting it.

I have also snorted crack before in jail and gotten high like it was powder. Everyone said it would not work but it did.

I used to know a guy who sold crack that snorted it.

 

[simstim]

The only proof I have is my own witness testimony that it was effective.

You can definitely absorb drugs through your mucous membranes that are not water soluble, it just happens less quickly than if it's water soluble. I have snorted and plugged AMT freebase (snorting it was absolutely horrible, it burned for like 30 minutes and oh god the smell... I smelled AMT freebase for a whole day, and if you've smelled it before... it's about the worst smell I can think of). But I got high, for damn sure.

You CAN snort clonazepam, but it works better orally. You absorb some in your nasal passages, but you probably end up swallowing most of it from the drip anyway.

 

[simstim]

All this snorting talk got me in the mood to snort some mdma.

Fucking trip on ecstasy!
