So considering Klonopins long half-life I hardly have a low enough drop of it in the bloodstream to judge weather under-tongue or swallowing the pill makes a difference. Anyone else tried this?I thought this might be true with Klonopin when I was
cutting the pill up into crumbs. But then my doctor scolded me
and told me the absorbtion under my tongue for klonopin was not
as reliable as down the chute.I think the pill need to spicifically be designated
"sublingual" to do the under the tongue deal.John
