I don't have any advice for you, just support. I had taking Subutex too. I have the same issues. I have to take it while at work and pray no one try talking to more or that I don't get a phone call or else I will be drooling and asked why I am talking funny. Its bad enough my kids already know that when I talk funny I'm taking my medicine, luckily they don't know what it is for- yet! And it tastes so nasty, food or drink don't taste right for like 30 minutes after.... BUT I think its gotta be way better than going to the methadone clinic EVERY day!!! There are many times I miss just swallowing a pill but I gotta admit it feels a lot better knowing I'm not doing anything illegal, I don't gotta worry about not being able to get a hold of any, and I will always pass a **** test if need be
