Hi ladies, I went to see my GP this morning about my Endo pain and how I'm finding it unbearable no other painkiller is working on me. So my GP said try morphine patches (Buprenorphine 10mc) for 2 weeks. Has anyone tried them and do they work or am I wasting my time with them?

use the search box on the green bar at the top of the page and type in Butrans.

There are several ladies who have used these patches. I haven't myself - but I did used to have Temgesic

which is the same drug, but in a pill that you dissolve under the tongue.
