Alprazolam stands out in my mind as being extremely bitter, as does diazepam. I remember Roche's Rivoril had a mild 'peppery'/chalky taste and left my mouth feeling slightly numb. I could not tolerate holding alprazolam or diazepam in my mouth for any length of time without gurning, and the taste residue of any accidental dissolving would take quite some rinsing away. If you'd ever let an alprazolam tablet melt in your mouth I'm sure you'd never have forgotten it. I don't remember any of the others having any particular taste. Nitrazepam came in disproportionately large horse-tablets for some reason. I think it might have had a bitter taste, or it may just have been the great difficulty in swallowing that stands out in my mind. In any case, I'm quite certain about the first two.
I suppose it's possible that faster dissolving=faster onset of action=more euphoria, but I wouldn't expect so much difference between the two brands. I bought generic clonazepam from a variety of online pharmacies for years and noticed no difference between batches. If you can confidently dismiss a negative placebo effect in this case, I think it's likely that you received a counterfeit batch containing another drug.
