I tried Butrans about 8 weeks ago. Only for one week trial and it worked miracles! I had little pain and more energy to do things I normally couldn't before when I was on fentanyl. That stuff is 10x as potent as morphine. Had a hell of a time getting off it. I'm now waiting for the prior authorization to go through so I can take it again. Doc says it's not as dangerous as other opioids. As for the itch, doc recommended I spray Flonase on the area where I will put the patch for about an hour before. That should stop the itching. Hope this helps

Yes I was the patch made my skin itch so had to come off it.😥

I was. Really of no help and soon caused more pain.

Yes I was but had to stop. It made my skin itch like crazy. 😦now I take Zapain but it dosent help much.😣

I started it 3 weeks ago and it's working perfectly. I'm on the lowest dose but it's helping my severe pain and ive tried many othrr meds. This patch has no side effects, it doesn't leave you feeling high like oxycodone and other narcotics. I highly recommend it
