Bupe Need advice for supplementing Suboxone with Buprenorphine patch

I've been using Suboxone for about 4 years now. I'm down to 4mg 2x daily.
About a year ago I moved to the largest communist country in the world and they don't have suboxone here. I didn't have any problems with traveling back to the US every 3 months to get my supply, but now that's impossible because of recent global events.

I've been out of my regular strips for 2 weeks now, and last week I found a doc that would give me buprenorphine patch(not called butrans here). The problem is they are only 5mg. I've had a patch on for the last week and still feel in moderate withdrawal. Is there anything I can do to help absorb this better into my body?

Is it possible to extract the buprenorphine out of the patch?
