    Default Why does klonopin taste so GOOD and xanax tastes so BAD

    Anyone ever wonder this? Is it just another one of life's mysteries? Or maybe something the pharma companies do to confound the plebs.

    I don't know if it is just in my head, but I SWEAR the little yellow .5 mg Teva kpins actually taste like mint with a little banana. Is Willy Wonka in the pill business now?

    As for xanax, I can barely swallow one of those little blue footballs without gagging. They taste like what you expect medicine (and I use that term loosely) should taste. like

    Apparently the amide functional group in benzos binds to a taste receptor responsible for cool or minty tastes and the 2-chloro group on the benzene ring activates it. I can't vouch for that info 100% but the source is someone who seems to know their stuff pretty well. I know very little about the chemistry behind taste though so I can't confirm it. I'll try to look for more info but I can't make any promises. I've been having some health issues that have cut into my productivity a fair amount recently.

    Oh and I forgot about valium, which tastes like nothing...

    You would think they would all taste about the same being so chemically similar, but I guess that isn't the case. I thought it might have something to do with the binders/fillers, but those are usually neutral. It has to be the drug itself even for how little there is relative to the mass of the pill.

    I don't know much about how tastes works either, but I do know quite a bit about how smell/taste affects our thinking. Especially how closely it is tied into memory.

    Yeah it's pretty crazy how many different tastes there are in the benzo family. Ativan is also pretty much tasteless. I love the taste of kpins though, especially since sublingual administration works so well with benzos in general. It's a win win.

    Man, I grew to love the taste of MDMA and I think Xanax tastes terrible.

    yes indeed kpins do taste delicious. If snorting a benzo were practical ...they would be fantastic. I used to love the taste of xanax ...i fucking hate it now. The worst are the shitty pills i get from walgreens (xanax). by the end of the bottle you're left with almost a gram or more of powder (if you handle the bottle frequently). If i could i'd complain.

    MrE ...you know your shit it seems. Would you happen to know why it seems generic kpins are coated and degrade slower than most other benzos ...that if handled turn to powder??

    Do you gain anything by sublingual? I thought the BA of benzos was close to 90%. I've hear people like to do them sublingually but I didn't think you can get much hight that 90%.
