well yes, that is helpful. just 2 more things: when you say
is that total? or is that 15-20 mins after the film has dissolved? |
Dr. Junig says that a dryer mouth is better; that it’s a matter of more medicine being absorbed with less saliva so the concentration of meds being absorbed is higher or something to that effect, if I’m recalling correctly. For me, when my mouth is dryer, the taste is that much more horrible and it takes MUCH longer to dissolve. If one’s mouth has much more saliva, then it tends to dissolve faster. It’s true that if one holds their saliva in their mouth for awhile, they will get more absorption in that additional 15-20 minutes, but not too much more after that (or so I believe Dr. J said). (I was saying 15-20 minutes of holding the saliva after it has dissolved and before swallowing or spitting.)
I think I got all your questions…let me know if I missed any of them. Believe me, with suboxone and their specific, yet vague instructions and the fact that some of them are meaningless (like the ONLY under the tongue directions) according to Dr. Junig, IT IS CONFUSING, so don’t feel bad about asking these questions. I mean, notice how many pages this thread is.
