I've read that before, but in my experience that seems to be canceled out by the sublingual Ativan getting into the bloodstream a lot more quickly than the swallowed Xanax (especially if there's any food in the stomach).
Anyone else care to share experiences as to which one seems to take effect more quickly?
Thanks.
