Railing Drugs For Medicine Purposes

    I'm prescribed Klonopin for anxiety which I take when needed, usually .5mg every other day or so. Sometimes though I'll have a bad anxiety attack, and these pills take 45-hour to kick in and that isn't too great when you're panicing. Now would railing them make it any faster/better. And no I do not abuse them, I use when needed, this would be like a once a month occurance.

    Well the easy answer is yes, they will take effect faster/stronger. The health implications of this I am not aware of.

    But if it's for a rare occurence like a panic attack then I'd consider it worth a try. But only because I'm claustrophobic, and when I'm gripped I'd do damn near anything to relax...

    Yeah, it sucks having to suffer through 30 minutes to feel effects. I don't think it will eat my nose up like coke, but yeah injesting things nasally can never be all good for you.

    if you're worried about your nose, parachute it. grind it up, wrap it up in a sheet of toilet paper/kleenex and swallow it. effects within 15 minutes, perhaps sooner.

    weird story....i just did this with tylenol pm last night b/c it never works when i just ingest it (stupid, i know). Long story short, it worked MUCH faster and i had a good nights sleep for my midterm today. and my nose feels fine right now....i wouldn't imagine klonopin would be much worse....i have klonopin as a matter of fact, but for headache purposes lol much diff.

    edit: btw, i dont know about the effects but i seperated out anything with the outter coating. I dont want that colored shit going in there.

    hey, its your med, take them how you feel like you should,

    to me snorting is JUST ANOTHER WAY OF INTAKING A PILL/DRUG whatever

    personally i don't snort pills that often, cuz i like my nose....OVER TIME/WITH CHRONIC snorting your lining of your nose will get fucked

    so snort sparingly (only when needed :) )

    it could be worth a try, i know exactly how you feel. i get panic attacks ALOT. actually, weed is starting to help me relax like it used too. but i still would really like xanax or valium or ativan or something for when i get really bad panic attacks. id say try it.

    Holy crap I wish I had thought about this earlier. I had an attack last night, and I cut a .5 milligram pill in half, so .25 of a milligram, crushed it, and snorted it. 5 minutes later I was good and I used half as much as I would in pill form and it last longer. I do how ever feel alittle bad for injesting it that way, makes me feel like a druggie or something.

    How much/how often do you smoke? I got struck with really horrible panic attacks last fall, but they died down a ton when I stopped smoking as much.
     
  12. #12 new_age_hippy, Mar 9, 2007
    Every night or so, not super heavy. Pot does relax me but when I'm really panicing pot actually makes it worse, so I try not to smoke when I feel one coming on.

    Snorting anything is not a terribly good idea. Snorting things that are not meant to be snorted is a worse one. I'm not sure, off the top of my ead if there is anythng directly dangerous in Klonopin, that would irritate your sinuses, but in the longer term, it will do this anyway.

    A far better idea would be to take a maintenance dose of the pill every day; that way, it is far less likely that you will have panic attacks, as the cumulative effect of the pills should stave them off adequately. That is the whole point of anti anxiety meds, really; to prevent attacks, not to treat them as and when.

    right but dont too many pills fuck up your liver and kidneys ?
     
  15. #15 new_age_hippy, Mar 9, 2007
    That's impossible because they make me tired, if I take one, I'm going to have to sleep for a few hours, so that isn't practical. But I've found out chewing them gives similar effects as snorting, so that will probably be my way.

    True Le G, generally not a good idea to snort pills (or anything really) that is not meant for that. In almost every case there are "filler" agents in prescription pills. Even more so with drugs like Xanax and Klonopin that have tiny, tiny active doses. Each dose of these drugs is typically between .5 and 2 milligrams. Go weigh one of these pills on scale, the rest of the weight is filler. "Filler" is material that is harmlessly absorbed by our stomach lining, but is not intended for your sinuses or lungs (where yes, some of it will end up when you rail).

    Hippy Chick, if you want to increase the speed with which the meds hit you try sub lingual doses. This is where you grind up the pill and place it under your tongue until dissolved. Won't be as fast as railing it, but should be a good 15-20 minutes faster than eating it. Also might taste like complete shit, but thats the trade off I suppose.

    All this being said I used to snort pills regularly and I lived to tell, so if you have a major anxiety attack there are worse things you could do then snort your Klonopin.
