Butrans And Opana Ir
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I was just prescribed the Butran patches and 3 10mg ir Opana for bt pain. I was given no instruction by the Dr or pharmacist. I had been out of my dilaudid I was previously prescribed because of switching Drs. So I immediately took an opana and though I would read up on the patches before beginning them. Well a few days went by and the opanas were holding the pain away enough so I took my leisurely time getting to the reading up on the Butrans. Now I'm scared to start them! I spoke with the the manufacturers pharmacist which was no help. He basically said, "I don't know what will happen." in not willing to risk precipitated withdrawals on and idk. None of the local pharmacists know either. What do I do to safely begin these patches since I've already started the opanas?

UPDATE: So, I stopped the Opana for 2 days using Kratom for wds...which worked! Then I stuck on the first patch and stopped the Kratom. I've been amazed at the pain control of this combo. The patches only seem to last 5 days not 7 though. I actually think if the Dr. upped the dose of the patch I may not need as many Opana but I'm not telling him that. Id rather keep any "extra" Opana for emergency use if needed later on than lose them.
Overall I am satisfied with the pain control and the fact I don't crave more Opana using the Butrans like with the Dilaudid only.
You usually have to wait, until you are in full withdrawals, before starting Butrans, in order to avoid the precipitated withdrawals.
The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.
Have you started using it, yet? Are these the only medications you are currently taking?
