I'm about to start taking Buprenorphine patches. Has anyone had any issues or bad side effects from them?
@A MyFibroTeam Member I hope U can get yr social anexity sorted out Sam, bless u lass. Love Hugs and prayers ❤️ 💗 💖 💕
I’m on duloxetine and naproxen. I didn’t need to stop any of these, but I've not needed to take the naproxen yet .
Hi,yes I’m on the same but I couldn’t take amitriptyline it made me feel strange . So I’m on duloxetine . I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my pain whilst on the patch . At first I was a bit worried about putting it on so waited a day or two 😂 but I plucked up the courage and I’ve been fine. I was like thinking why the hell didn’t you prescribe this before but I suppose it’s an opioid so they don’t want you getting addicted to it.
My dr didn’t really say much to whether I have to stay on it or get the pain under control and wean myself back off ? I suppose when I go back to see her in 2 weeks she’ll discuss this.
It’s nice to know of someone else using it so we can compare and give each other support x
Hi. It will be 3 weeks tomorrow that I've been using the patches. I've not had any side effects. I have Bertolotti syndrome (deformed spine) which is very painfull but I can feel the difference in a good way with patches. I feel it hasn't helped much with fibromyalgia muscle aches. My body still feels like bruised all over when touched.
I started on them last week it has helped a lot. I never really noticed any side affects other than , I woke up a little sweaty around the neck .
I hope they help you with the pain keep me updated .
I swap my patch today for a new one 😊
