Is crushed Xanax bitter?

Yes, very bitter! Xanax (alprazolam tablets), regardless of dose, are extremely bitter. I have taken numerous benzodiazepines (drug class Xanax resides in, as well as Valium, Librium, Serax, Ativan, and Klonopin) and Xanax has a bitterness one will never forget. If you take Xanax, I recommend that just swallow the tablet whole or however much one has prescribed (i.e. a Xanax 2mg tablet, or "Xanax Bar" may be broken in order to conserve money). Don't let it sit there in the mouth, don't chew it up, swallow it whole and get it over with. Then, take a swig of a soda or something sweet. If the Xanax tablet is crushed, than swallowing it will be a tough task. Don't mix it with a beverage as it is not water soluble. If one intends nasal insufflation with crushed Xanax, they shall suffer pain and agony. It's best if taking orally to just swallow followed by a sweet drink.
