Anyone else notice their Benzos only work on an empty stomach? I don't think this used to be an issue for me but it is now. I hardly take them so it's not due to tolerance. Any tips on how to make it work mid day after you've eaten?

Interesting question. I've never given it much thought. I do know that most prescriptions work better on an empty stomach but many shouldn't be taken without food. And others become stronger if you mix grapefruit with them. I wish I had a better answer for you!

I actually tested out a thought last night by drinking a shot of apple cider vinegar to give acidity to my gut and it worked. The klonopin even worked faster. Good to know for the future. Thanks for responding.
