With regard to the vomiting, you have a couple of options. You can swish your mouth out with mouthwash before taking your sub. That will help with absorption and it might taste strong enough to help with the taste. The second option, and this might be better (and it was recommended by Dr. Junig), is to put a breath mint in your mouth ALONG with the suboxone. It will NOT affect the the absorption of the suboxone and it should address the bad taste.

Also, do NOT eat or drink anything for 10-15 minutes after the pill/strip has dissolved. There will still be medication in your mouth that will still be absorbing.

Give these a try and see if they help. Like Bboy said, you may as well give sub the old college try with suboxone before you get to switch back to methadone. You’re on it already – may as well see if it will work for you instead of switching before giving it a chance to work.

Good luck and let us know how it works.
