Keep in mind that if you're being prescribed your E as oral (swallowed) and taking sublingual you're actually getting a higher dose faster than the doc is prescribing. Absorption via the GI is slower & prolonged and also has to contend with a first pass through the liver. With sublingual the drug gets out into the blood stream and into the body before it eventually hits the liver, hence having higher impact than via GI.
Some drugs are engineered to be swallowed, so stick with how the doc has prescribed things. If you think you need to change, consult first. Yes, they are treating you, but also likely being conservative. The physician's motto is "Do No Harm" for a reason.
