Xanax, otherwise known by its chemical name Alprazolam has an oral bio-availability of 80-90%. That means that 80-90% of the drug is absorbed into your system when you swallow the pill.

You CANNOT insuffulate (snort) Xanax (Alprazolam); this drug is not water soluble meaning your nasal passage will not be able to extract the drug and enter it into your system, your only hope is that the nasal drip reaches your stomach which is redundant as taking them orally goes through the stomach anyways.

I would say the insuffulated bio-availability of Xanax is around 1-5% (this is a crude estimate). The oral bio-availability of 80-90% is REMARKABLY high (IV injection leads to 99-100%).

Xanax also kicks in very quickly, one of the fastest onsets of any drugs I've ever taken, and snorting it relies on it going through the stomach as it won't be picked up nasally so your actually looking at waiting more time when snorting it. Not only that you won't feel a thing (unless you are having a psycho-somatic placebo reaction).

Many people here say, "No, don't do anything unless the doctor tells you to" and "Never take it other than directed". I am not one of these people.

I am here to tell you, no you can't because it doesn't work, it won't get you buzzed, and the pills have a high bio-availability and work quickly anyways.

Thank you!

Can you snort medication for a headaches once in a while?

If you're asking if it's ok to snort adderall for headaches, i'd say it definitely wouldn't help much, but sure go ahead. nothing wrong with trying. If you're asking whether it's ok to snort pain medications for headaches, it would depend on the medication. (opioid medications are always fun). Of course, snorting is bad for you blah blah, but I'm being realistic.


How much Valium do you have to take to get high?

Well first of all, don't snort them. It's pretty harsh and I snorted 4 and they do not get you high like that. If you are taking Valium for a medical purpose, and are taking it normally, your dosage will NOT get you high. I just want to advise, not to snort it, it just doesn't work. Don't take more than 20 mg's of Valium, it's no good for you, and it will put you to sleep.
