Buprenorphine 10mcg/hr TD Patch: Life-Changing for Chronic Pain or Risky Business?

The patch has been fantastic for my nerve pain. I had some initial dizziness, but it went away after a couple of weeks. I’ve also had a cold with no issues from the patch. No fever, just regular old cold symptoms. The patch is worth it, especially if you have a good doctor that listens to you.

I’ve been on the Buprenorphine patch for a while now. It took some serious trial and error with doctors, but now I'm feeling pretty good. The dizziness was bad at first but now it's almost gone. My skin irritation was pretty bad at first, too, but just switching to a different brand patch helped a lot. The patch is doing a better job of controlling the pain than the pills. The patch is definitely helping me.

Anyone else have issues with the patch falling off? I swear mine doesn’t stick worth a damn.

The patch has been a lifesaver for my fibromyalgia pain. I did have some issues with skin irritation at first, but switching to a different spot each week helped a lot. Now I'm pain-free and happy.

I’ve been on the patch for a few months now. The first few weeks were tough with some nasty side effects, but it’s definitely gotten better. I did have to switch to a different brand of stool softener. It took a bit of trial and error, but the patch is doing a good job of controlling the pain. Look out for serotonin syndrome if you're taking other meds. That part can be a bit scary. Best wishes.

I had a rough time with the Buprenorphine patch. The constipation was unbearable, and I ended up in the ER. It was like my intestines were on fire. I switched to a different pain management plan and haven’t looked back. I do feel sorry for people that suffer from severe pain. Compared to that, my issues were minor. Hang in there, folks.

I've been on opioids for years and the patch was a welcome change. Less torment and less anxiety from taking pills every day. But remember, everyone's body reacts differently. I went through some tough times with my gastro health but nothing too bad. The dizziness was bad and I had to quit the patch. Stick to your doctors orders and tell them what is happening.

Hey, I just started the patch and it’s been a nightmare. I feel really confused, weirdly out-of-sorts, and I keep forgetting things. Is this normal?

I had a bad reaction to it. The patch caused me severe constipation and stomach pain. I had to go to the ER. It was like my intestines were on fire. I was also experiencing dizziness that felt like I was going to pass out at any moment. No thanks. I'd rather deal with the pain. Be careful out there!

I've been on this patch for a year now, and it's been a game-changer for my back pain. The side effects were pretty mild at first, mostly just some dizziness and constipation. I started taking stool softeners and that helped a lot. But yeah, the side effects are serious, so don't mess around with them. If you feel like something is off, go to the doctor ASAP. It's the only way to be 100% safe. Talk to your doctor and let them know about any other medications you're taking to avoid serotonin syndrome.
