Klonopin…?

My boyfriend takes Clonazepam (Klonopin) for OCD/anxiety…thing is, it takes 2-3 hours to kick in…and in a couple days he has a really important interview and then, 2 hours later, a flight to Texas (and he is SUPER nervous about flying.) Is there anything he could do to make it work faster? Like chewing it?
(Note: I’m not looking for a way to do drugs!)

Many benzodiazepines will absorb sublingually. I know Xanax will, not sure about Klonopin – though he could try it.

Chew the tablet, then push the crumbles underneath the tongue with a little saliva. Move the tongue around so it’s spread out a bit and not all in a single dry clump.

It can taste absolutely revolting, so he should try his best to keep all the pill powder under the tongue where he can’t taste it. Hold it there for 5 or more minutes, then wash it down with some water or some other fluid.

It has been my experience that substantial, if not full, effects will be realized within about 30 minutes using this technique.

Situational anxiety like this can also be treated quite effectively with a small dose of Inderal. It’s a high blood pressure medication – it works by suppressing they physical symptoms of anxiety (sweaty palms, pounding heart). This can often help you feel less anxious.

Good luck,
