I just rinse my mouth with mouthwash, making sure to hold some mouth wash under the tongue for a while before dosing with suboxone. If you rub an alchol swab over your veins you will see that it dilates them temporarily. Therfore, the blood vessels under the tongue are dilated, making for more absorption of the bupe.
this post made me think about something...
your veins in your tongue may be dilated when u first go to dose your suboxone... but after you dose your sub and put your tongue back down and then sit and wait... after a short time your veins are no longer going to be dilated like they were. so im not sure if that helps to have the veins dilated or not. i sometimes even hold my tongue up as if im looking at the bottom of it in a mirror. that makes the 2 big veins in your tongue stick way out, then i place the pieces of sub film directly on the vein under my tongue.
btw ive been sitting here for about 30-45 minutes with my dose in my mouth... i had just brushed my teeth, and rinsed thoroughly with hot ass water(lol ass water) just like normal. then i took some vodka and cleaned the bottom of my tongue with a tiny bit of it, and placed my pieces of sub film on the bottom of my tongue(right on those veins). after placing the strips on my tongue, but before closing my mouth, i put about .75 ML of vodka under my tongue and then close my mouth and feel the burn.
so far im not noticing a huge difference... i think its more about cleaning off the tongue so that the most bupe can be absorbed, but either way im still gonna keep trying this for now.
ill check back and let everyone know...
EDIT: its been about 1-1.5 hours. i just spit out the remaining saliva mixture, which i always do and highly recommend to anyone taking suboxone sublingually. i forgot to add that i typically take 6mg once a day. i tried this method with only 4mg this time. i didnt want to end up doubling my dose so i tried this with a little lower than my normal dose. it seems like it must have helped a bit. I certainly dont feel like i lowered my dose, so it more than likely helped.
im about to go hit the Volcano for my typical post-sub vape session. something about smoking the right type of weed really enhances the euphoric feeling of bupe for me. Ill be able to tell a little better at that point if im feeling the bupe anymore than usual today.
after the vape and giving it more time, id say i can tell the BA was increased successfully. how much? idk.
im still wondering about the mouthwash thing tho... the vodka didnt seem to make the film dissolve super fast and tasteless like the mouthwash does. that makes me think that the mouthwash, at least the scope kind which i have, is not good for using prior to taking your sub.
ahh crap, sry about the multiple posts too...
