I am on Butrans patch 10mcg every 3 days worn for 7 days. I am using Butrans for 8 years now and I still experience uncomfortable side effects such as insomnia and anxiety. I am wondering if Butrans patch( low dose bupe) is as difficult to stop as I have read about? The Butrans does help my chronic pain but I am tired of the side effects. After 8 years now I wonder if I should just continue or consider stopping. I do often feel nice but often feel anxious. I am relatively okay on it but should I consider quitting?Help would be appreciated.
