How's it going with the Butrans patch? Sorry nobody answered: I guess you are the test case here.

It did zip. It was like having nothing on and I couldn't sleep. I went back to fentanyl.

Oh, well. If you had been on a pure agonist before (fentanyl), I'm not surprised buprenorphine (a partial agonist) didn't help. Doses are hard to match between these two kinds of drugs. Best of luck.
