Dweii Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I've found it takes me more than an hour to get any effect from Klonopin. It's turning into a problem, cause when you need a benzo you need it now. How long does it take for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libby Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Chew it up! THat's what I do. They have a kind of sweet taste, not bad at all. ps I just realized that that's probably why I woke up in a decent mood tdoay... because I took klono yesterday evening. Thensleep meds later. Friggin anxiety. I swear, it's the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweii Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 No can do. It's a different brand here and they're definitely not sweet. Maybe I should just switch back to Xanax, even though I hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 klompin takes about 20 min. to kick in for me. Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaloGirl66 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 even though it tastes like crap, I let it dissolve in my mouth. Yukky, but if I am having a panic attack I am desperate enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Perfection Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Takes 'bout 1 hour 4 me 2. Works faster when taken with alcohol (or am I forbidden to say that? - sorry moderators - please delete last phrase if so - mea culpa). M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderingNZer Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 when i used to take the generic of klonopin it would take 40 minutes to an hour to kick in for me. if you don't like xanax then how about ativan? (if you can take it that is) i heard it kicks in quickly. NZer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Elvis Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 You can let it dissolve under your tongue to get the effect even faster even if it does taste like ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croix Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Mine generally takes about a half hour to kick in. Although I have let it dissolve in my mouth in emergencies. Croix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon-A-TiK Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 it takes me 15 minutes to feel it start to work, and 30 minutes to feel it working well, and an hour to be out for the count, depending on how much i take. if i chew or dissolve it i'll get it faster. a "normal" dose for me is .5mg, and a higher dose, like when i'm freaking out, is 1mg. i'll save 2mg for if i'm having insomnia (maybe not the purpose of klonopin, but it works).

Dweii Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Thanks for all the replies. Next emergency I'll try putting them under my tongue. Could be worth the disgusting taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightshade Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Thanks for all the replies. Next emergency I'll try putting them under my tongue. Could be worth the disgusting taste. Also if need be you could crush the klonopin and mix it with applesauce. If it works with xanax, then its bound to work with klonopin. HOWEVER DON'T CRUSH THE XANAX XR, I've never been on it but I'd hate to see the effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweii Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 I actually tried putting one under my tongue a few days ago and it wasn't bad at all. It pretty much doesn't taste anything, maybe even a bit yummy. So that problem's solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
