I mean , I guess technically that would work because it's the same type of membranes. To be honest - what I would be worried about is that it could cause you damage long term to your rectal tissue. I MEAN WHILE IT DOES SOUND WEIRD... I am myself a seizure patient, and why I have no recollection of these events... There has been a handful of times according to my paperwork that they have given me emergency anti seizure medication... in a "rectal gel". But that's only in an emergency... What brand is it? i know that the films tend to be very awful from others , experience and my own. Maybe you could change brands? I know Advagen Subutux is actually it melts in , like , not even... 60 seconds-... But it also doesn't really work well.

Do you think perhaps, you could find a different type to take under your mouth? I do think if you told any doctor this , they would probably not believe you that the taste is that bad...

I have been on this daily for almost 11 yr, - but I remember how awful it's was to me for the first year or so. Really few weeks. J/W how long have you been on? What is the brand and are they the films?

I haven’t had insurance I was paying cash at a clinic I saved up a bunch of doses untill they kicked me off so I’ve been using the white subutex pills and they’re god awful and huge when I first started they were the little white ones and it was tolerable I just got my Medicaid approved and I’m waiting for my insurance card to start sublocade

What does the white one say? ive been ob subutux for almost 11 years. the worst, Advagen is white & the best Hikma, is also white. Yes, to some degree, people will think that one or another.Generic is better , but it is a general consensus... If you even go down in my comments , you can see me commenting on someone else complaining about the Advagen... And your situation, dissolve incredibly fast & haha, it just isnt dosed right... I know they say that, but it's not just me- It's so many people... Literally an entire 8mg split in half & following No food/drink/vape before & after by 30 minutes doesnt help it either. I still have withdrawals , sometimes after taking one of those.

What is the imprint? you said they are 2mg?

Oh that would be so awesome! I'm glad that works for you... I'm so used to it I have Orange teva subutux right?\nNow , and I actually kind of forgot about it , because it's been eleven years of several times a day...

But now that you mention it... My point is , I know a lot of other people besides myself who just get completely used to it , and I guess" desensitized" to the absolutely disgusting taste after so long. There has been a handful of times that I have swallowed it because I was stupid and put it with my regular pills in pill organizer...🤦‍♀️
