Experiences with

BuTrans

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

I take Naproxen, Nortriptyline, Co-Codamol and Butrans patches. These had all been prescribed by the pain consultant's registrar over a period of 18 months. I also use crutches and a powerchair to mobilise.

I'm extra tired too, and in more pain ( whoops, overdue BuTrans pathches replacement) I have a horrible taste in my mouth, too. Doesn't exactly make me feel like eating. One question for advice, though.

I’m also tapering down my Butrans patch as after a year and a half it’s completely changed me, and not in a good way, and causes more pain than relief. Any advice would me much appreciated, thank you.

Butrans as a “solution” to addiction: Google search: https://www.google.com/search?

I have just been put on Butrans patch 5mcg as I cannot tolerate any oral pain medication - I was admitted with severe pain and tried on codeine and morphine - I was very sick and generally extremely ill. The consultant then put me on Butrans for long term pain relief.

Butrans patches ! I had a very bad experience being on tramadol and not willing to go there again. Has anyone had experience of these?
