Hey all, I was wondering if anyone had advice on this.

I take 1.25 mg/day. I dose 2-3x per day (because of the .25, but I am fine with dosing 2x per day and plan on sticking with that) because I have a hyperactive thyroid and my metabolism is behaving very crazily right now (fast. Just as a comparison, when I stopped using a little over a year ago, I could do a large amount of oxycodone and piss clean in 36 hours).

My problem is that I don’t think I am absorbing it well. I use the 2 mg Roxane generic bupe tablets, so the pieces I’m using (.5, .5, .25) are very small. They dissolve in seconds. I have been feeling minor PAWS symptoms lately due to being at this low dose of Sub, but I know they are something I can’t avoid, unless I want to take Subutex my whole life. Lately, I am beginning to think that these symptoms are exaggerated due to low absorption. Is there any way to increase absorption? I don’t have enough pill to paint it on my cheeks or anything..not even if I did dose 1x per day (which I honestly may try again and see if I can deal).

I read about someone using the liquid tapering method. I may try that, but what if you are out in public and need to take your pill (damn 2x per day dosing)?
