Opioids Suboxone Tab Bioavailability

[wantics]

Hey guys, I am currently prescribed 8mg suboxone strips and I can't fill my script on time this month due to the holidays falling on the days my doctor is in. I came across a few of the generic tablets to hold me over, but in the past they've been pretty terrible quality compared to the strips. Like I feel like I don't get anywhere near my full dose. Any ideas on how to increase the bioavailability? Currently I brush my teeth, rinse my mouth out with listerine, let it sit under the tongue/in my mouth until fully dissolved, keep the liquid in my mouth for 15 minutes after being dissolved, and swallow. For some reason I feel like these things never work for me. Alcohol soak maybe? Let me know.

Thanks and happy holidays

This describes a technique of an addict, Phd Anesthesiologist/ Phd Chemist who describes how utilizing the whole surface area of the mouth can be beneficial as well as the pharmacokinetics of Bupe/ Nal.

Probably best to take with a grain of salt, but could possibly be very helpful as well:

Yep! I've found that using mouthwash has helped a lot with the strips actually. To the point that I can take half a strip and feel normal with mouthwash, whereas without would take a full strip. I don't get how they put 8mg on the packaging if it isn't 8mg though. Not right.
