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.

You’d have to google, but I read that buprenorphine is not only addictive but it is difficult to come off of, and also I read that it can cause dental decay. Best to you. Also, I personally tried buprenorphine patch to replace Fentanyl 25mg patch and I did not find sufficient pain relief for MY pain, and was on it for at least a year and had to switch back. But now I’m not treated. I‘d like to find a place that would allow cannabis with opiates like that because cannabis for appetite (absent due to pain) keeps me out of pain management. It’s due to cannabis testing, which is not helpful in pain mgmt, imo if it keeps patients from receiving pain care. Good luck to you.
