How do I maximize Suboxone absorption?

So yes old Post but new answer... I just switched docs and this one is different. He also prescribes something for your dopamine with it. Anyway, he said to spit out what is left in your saliva because it's not going to add to the effect, all it does is goes through your digestive system and binds to something in your bowels, which in turn makes you constipated. Also, I never knew to not spit it swallow (lol) until it's all dissolved thanks! And I wonder if you put one up your bum will the anal glands absorb it better with no wasting of it?

You know what honestly makes it work the best? Take the med, put it under your tongue, and fall asleep for 20 minutes. I know not everyone can do this but I've been on 16mg a day for 6 years and to this day when I do that I always wake up with this... Not really a buzz.. But a hyper awareness that I've taken something. Sublingual will always get you the highest AND longest lasting absorption. I think the sleeping works only because then you're just letting it sit there, your mouth is drier than normal and it's not getting as diluted (granted the meds get in either way). Just a random thought. Nothing that I "tried", just something I've noticed after years.

ethyl alcohol literally increases absorption. You wash your mouth out with high-grain alcohol or mouthwash, spit it out and dose. I then add about 2mL of alcohol right across where l place the strip. i then let that bit of alcohol and sub strip dissolve. after about 10 minutes, i start working the liquid solution around my mouth. it's a noticeable difference b/c when I don't do it, I don't quite have that energy you get. anyway, hope this helps and again, do not put isopropyl alcohol in your mouth.

Thank you for your post there is so much nonsense out there then I finally came across your post:)

Have you tried rectal plugging? Look it up. It is THE best way too get full absorption in the least amount of time. It’s gross, it’s a bit dehumanizing and embarrassing, but does it ever WORK!

How do I get the response to her question? Please answer. Thank you

I've really never had a problem with absorption of sub even if I take 1 MG it does me just fine let it set for 5 or so min then drink a mt dew and that's that last 24+ hours I been on sub for 5+ years started on 16 MG and have been down to .5 and back and forth but always the same method 5 min then wash down with mt Dew

Mine sometimes takes more than 30min and usually ends by me talking or swallowing what's left. Been taking it 10yrs so usually the only difference it makes to me is if I work late I start feeling more wore down if my dissolve time gets interrupted.

I started taking this as soon as it came out. The doctor told me that it HAS to get absorbed through the veins on the bottom of the tongue. Anything swallowed will get pooped out and not have any affect whatsoever. So ignore the baloney about painting your mouth with your tongue and ignore the one about sleeping with it in your mouth. It will NOT stay positioned under your tongue when you're sleeping. I have found that you need to hold it down hard with your tongue and don't let a lot of saliva in there with it. For as long as possible. I got on here to receive advice only to feel obligated to let people know this.

There is a way but try with half of what you normally take because this will increase absorption 3 fold. Any that dissolves will eventually find its way into your stomach and its bioavailability is very low. Place half under your tongue just before falling asleep for 4 or more hours. This decreases saliva and allows you to absorb far more then when tested by scientists. Even after 8 hours of sleeping I can taste it when waking. You can immediately tell your dose was increased while saving half.

O how I wish I had the courage to get off of these.

I put the pill under my tongue a1/4 at a time throughout the day..usually only feel great 3to 4 days a week. ..yes I have trouble peeing and, sex is less. .no libido...
Can't drink w out getting sick... and gives terrible hangovers. . So I almost stopped drinking... I still feel guilty for taking this drug... and get wierd thoughts sometimes. ... I wished I had all the answers, I wished I could stop talking it, ,but I'm afraid of detox,,and never feeling good. ... but put it under tongue take a drink of coffee,,and suckle it till dissolved... that's all. ..now how do I get myself to feel less guilty and is there a better way too take it?

Intrarectal buprenorphine has a >50% bioavailability. Of course, the naloxone has a greater absorption rate as well. It's >15% when taken intrarectal.

So you did all this research and asked a BRAIN DOCTOR who wouldn't know any more about sublingual drug absorption than any other doctor and you found out that FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BOX is the best way to take it... are you serious

Thanks for the information! Always wondered what the most effective method was.
