Could anyone give me advice about Butrans. My new pain management doctor started me on this Friday and said that it would take a few days to kick in but last for 7 days. I don't know if its me but I really don't feel much different than when I was taking the Norco except that didn't last long enough for the amount of pain I am in. If anyone out there could put a post out I would be very thankful. Have a good night everyone and wishing no pain tonight!

Butran is the same thing or same medication as found in Suboxone, but Butrans is in patch form. This patch lasts for 7 days and it was just introduce to the US, but it's been use in Europe for years! I hope that it works for you. Here's some info on it;
