Been given 5ng butrans patch by pain clinic today. I'm scared to use them - any advice ??
Hello you may have decided to use The Patch by now as it's 10 days ago you posted
Did you try the Patch?
I had 5mg Butrans Patch very reluctant to try but So so glad I have
It helped me with Severe Arthritis Side Effects Minimal eat plenty of Fibre and drink plenty
Of Water Etc
First 3 days felt bit light headed but that's all
Suggest you start on A Day/Weekend where you can "Chill"
Hope this helps anyway if it doesn't agree just take it off 😀
Good Luck
Hi. Thank you for your reply.
No I still haven't started them - still to scared. I'm taking Pregamblin 700mgs daily for pain relief - though the pain clinic assured me they are OK to combine.

Hi.
Been on 5mg for 3 wks and it's made no difference to my pain level - if anything worsened. Took if off this morning after having another horrendous night of hallucinations, nausea and hot sweats.
Can't get Drs as Bank Holiday today - probably not the brightest thing to do just removing it.. x
Hi
i started on 5mcg for chronic back pain and gradually gone up to 20mcg but had to reduce to 10mcg as I was so sleepy but have made a huge difference to my pain, infact I'm now very reluctant to come off as I can get up and move and without them I can't do anything. I would try them.. good luck let us know.
Hi.
Couldn't cope with side effects so removed no 3 patch.
I felt it increased my pain just felt awful on it.
