Experiences with

BuTrans

hi everyone hope you are well today.spoke to Painmanagement consultant yesterday and he suggested trying butrans patch for my pain. All my hip back pain back with a vengeance and I've broke my foot. Has anyone tried these patches ?if so any feedback welcome

I discussed this at my last liver clinic appointment, and was told they would be ok with me having something like Tramadol (or the Butrans patches I had several years ago, but gave up because they made me so sleepy) - but my GPSs flatly refuse to prescribe any stronger pain relief for me.

Has anyone used Butrans or buprenorphine for chronic pain? I am scared it will aggravate my restless legs.... Any help is appreciatied. This is the patch form.

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.

I'm currently on 600mg pregabalin and 15mg/ph butrans patches 30mg dihydrocodeine as well as paracetamol n cbd oil as well as smoking cannabis. Has anyone got any coping mechanisms that may work?

(I've been attempting to gain weight for 3 years now 😂) I'm currently under the pain clinic who have put me on 30mg/ph butrans patches, 600mg of pregabalin, dyhdrocodine & anti-sickness tablet's, all have their own set of horrible side effects!

I then was tried on BuTrans, 5mcg to start. Great the pains went away. :) They did take a while for me to feel less of the side effects. But I got a dreadful headache just above my eyebrows, and I was so very sick.

I have been taken off the Butrans pain patches due to the bad reactions to them. I have since been tried on 2 Amitriptyline at night, also Pregabalin twice a day. And just recently started as well, on Co-codamol, initially 1 of the 8/500mg's to take twice a day.

So I was on lots of painkillers including butrans patches, naproxen and paracetamol and amitryptiline. About 8 weeks ago my Dr started me on 30mg duloxetine it has helped with my anxiety but not helped a great deal with my fibromyalgia.

I am 1pmg butrans patch this was given to me for a separate shoulder problem, I am being weaned off them because this doesn't help fibro pain, so the bilateral shoulder pain is quite bad at the moment.

This is now day 5 and all is well with the anti sickness tablets and BuTrans patch. So, now to the part I’m looking for help with.

Have anyone been taken off the Butrans Patches and given Slow Release Morphine Tablets.Were the Tablets better for Fibromyalgia Pain than the Butrans Patches. OOOH I hope so.Thanks to everyone on here for any Advice or help you can give me.I really ,really need it. Gjkas x.

He put me on the butrans patch and when I developed an allergy to the adhesive he started me on buprenorphine. All was good. My pain was managed well from 2012 to last month when I quit cold turkey because I was at the top of the dosage and it wasn’t working.

Best thing is a big ✔️ to continue with BuTrans and top up co-codamol at times of pain flares. I’m not a junkie, and get no buzz from them, but need them, please! With the recent move to crack down on pain meds I’m hoping to get a green light from GPs.

HI Im familiar with bupenorphine and find it to work well for pain, with no side effects of being high or weird feeling. I seen that theres a very low weekly patch of it which has me interested. (although no drs seem to be able to prescribe anything) :( anyone use it?

Hi ladies I saw a pain specialist yesterday and she’s prescribed me some Butrans patches...they’re slow release morphine and last for seven days...she’s started me on the lowest dose to see if they help...if not there are stronger ones to try Just put one on...it just looks like an Elastoplast...hope

I have had to give in and put on a BuTrans patch as well as cocodamol, for pain relief. Most of my pain from PMR has gone but the Pred is not hitting the OA as I expected it would. Any advice would be so helpful, I’m on 15 mg Pred and have been for 4 weeks.

Really hoping that someone can give me a positive review as I’m scared my pain level will return to the highs that it was before I was prescribed Butrans patches. Thanks. 💖

Hurting like mad everywhere and waiting for new butrans patch 10. It’s due today. Can barely cope with pain right now. Will probably lose hair - swell up and put in on weight. I guessed this was coming as I have been feeling worse.
