I would love to hear more about your experience with Buprenorphine. I have been taking hydrocodone at increasing dosages for about 3 years. I have undiagnosed chronic pain. My dr has talked about converting me to the Butrans (sp?) patch but I’m hesitant because I like having control over how much medicine I am taking and when I take it if that makes sense. I would really appreciate hearing your experience with it.

Butrans is the brand name for Buprenorphine administered via a patch that delivers 24/7 pain relief. Not having to worry about remembering or forgetting doses. I was also able to stop using Percocet for breakthrough pain by substituting medical cannabis. I use tincture CBD 150mg 4x day and THC 20mg 4x day. I tried higher THC and lower CBD but no effect on breakthrough pain. Good luck with Butrans.
