Sorry if this isn't the appropriate thread for this topic but I really just had a question about Xanax. Now I've taken Xanax quite a few times and I've both swallowed and snorted it. But I've heard conflicting opinions on which method offers the best effects and I was wondering what your opinions on it were. Help a friend out?
 
down the gullet like a seagull, or under the tongue like a tab - tastes very ordinary though!

if you have done both methods which did you find the best?

Benzodiazepines are best absorbed orally or sublingually, snorting them is not efficient and is damaging to your nose. There is no point to snorting a drug that is absorbed 90% via the oral ROA, and you can't beat the sublingual onset. No one snorts benzodiazepines, and for good cause.
 
To be honest I hated snorting them. It just burns like hell and then I don't notice any difference in the effects. I'll just stick with taking them orally. Thanks!
 
Thanks for the information. I wish I had reliable friends outside of the internet...hah. I'll stick to oral applications from now on. Thanks again.
 
You get much more out of it taken orally. I can't tell you what to do because I've snorted pills in my day. But why get all that leftover gunk in your nose? I hated that. Really, if you want it to hit you faster put it under your tongue.
 
I think that's exactly what I'm going to do. Just to put it out there, I have a prescription for these and I take them for panic attacks so I'm just looking for the fastest most effective way for them to work. I'm going to put one under my tongue tonight and see if that helps more. Thanks, my friend.
 
Swallowing or sublingual is the best way to take this medication. Everyone here will tell you that, so I'm going to close this before the repetitive answers swarm in. PM me if you have any questions.
