I've just been coming off butrans patch its not been easy at all, like having the flu. Bad flu. I had major back surgery but prior to that was placed on the patch 20 Mc down to 10 and now off patch but withdrawal awful. Diarrhea is the worse, legs hurt all the time, I'm restless, but not going back on that ugly medicine. God will get me though. I just read electrolytes will be a huge benefit to those having the Diarrhea issues and fruit juices. Not just plain water. You need the electrolytes and imodiaum to help severe cases like me. You all hang tough, move forward in your journey of bravery and hit your goals. You can do this . God will carry you through. Few more days . Always get help through your doctor if needed. Sunshine hugs to you all.

I'm really surprised that you are having withdrawal symptoms. I was on butrans 35 mcg for 7 years after back surgery also . I just stopped using them a year gone Christmas & have had no problems at all . Hope you feel better soon . H xx
