Butran Patch Stopped Working

My doctor put me on butran 10 mg patch. I got my rx filled and received 4 patches. The first on fell off the first night. The second one worked great for the 7 days. The third patch got wet so I had to change it. Now I have the last patch on. It has been 24 hours and it's still on but having no pain relief any advice

It seems odd that one would work, but not the other. It would make more sense if none of them helped you, at all.

The active ingredient Buprenoprhine doesn't work for everyone at relieving pain.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Are you on any other medications? Have you informed your doctor?
