After I place 25 mg under my tongue, the tablet pretty sits there for about 40 minutes. Then, after what I assume the coating has worn off, it quickly turns into a paste and I get the bitter taste, and accidentally start swallowing some of the drug. What is happening here? Is the viagra being absorbed as it dissolves under my tongue? Should I be more careful about NOT swallowing any of the drug? Does it eventually just disappear under my tongue? I read about some who have it dissolve under their tongue and their ready to go in 15 minutes. This seems unbelievable to me. Any advice, Tricky?

It would be difficult not to swallow some of it because you make saliva all the time. So you would have to keep swallowing a little to keep your mouth from filling up.

Yes, it is being absorbed in your mouth. After its disolved, just swallow what saliva is left and chew some gum or such.
Peace

Well I hope you are still around. I would say break the capsule first or remove some of the coating. (The blue stuff is just the coating and does nothing for you.)
Then you can dissolve it in 5 to 10 minutes, after another 15-20 minutes you should start noticing the effect.
If you have a lot of saliva like me then yes
it is difficult not to swallow any of the viagra .
