Members shared mixed experiences with the Butrans pain patch, a prescription opioid, in response to someone considering trying it. Several members reported that it provided partial relief but didn't eliminate pain completely, with issues including skin reactions requiring patch rotation, patches falling off, and concerns about absorption effectiveness. A recurring theme was the importance of combining treatments, adjusting expectations about pain management, and working closely with doctors to find what works best for each individual body.

Yes, a pain management doctor prescribed the pain patch for me, but I am allergic to the adhesive. The adhesive caused blisters. The pain patch did not help my overall body pain. I hope that you will have a better outcome.

Hi, Sorry - no haven't used it at all - it is an opiod and I tend to be a bit nervous using such medication.
