I have been on Butrans 5mcg now for almost 4 weeks. It is somewhat effective, but not quite strong enough, so I will see if the doctor will boost it up on Monday. It sticks well, but I can't really use it when I swim. I have both hips replaced and I was injured in the military. I deal with chronic pain every day and exercise in water helps control some of the pain. I just wish the patches were w ... Show Full Comment

I applaud anyone who can maintain a good lifestyle with the lowest dose.

I am being treated for FMS and Angioedema so for me the butrans along with my other meds it works great.

It helped at first but now I am having to take higher doses of percocet and I am only getting 2-3 hours of sleep at night, waking up in extreem pain again. The patch just isn't working for me. I sincerely hope other people have more luck with it than I have. I also have liver problems and have to get off the percocet. I am so tired of watching the clock and taking so many pills. I was so excited to be put on the patch, less pills!!!! I'm only one person.The patch may work great for someone else. They do stay on pretty good depending upon where you put it. I was on the 20 and they are pretty big and crinkle but i am small framed. Good luck it is worth trying.
