Read the OP, skipped most of the rest (sorry 
). But I recognised enough of my own situation in the OP to not need the rest...
I also suffer with chronic back pain. Congenital deformity of upper vertebrae. No surgery. No cure. Just pain forever.
I also fell in love with poppy products the moment I discovered them. How exactly I discovered them varies each time I try to recall. But whatever the case, I started small and ended up on heroin... quite soon after starting small
Opies block all kindsa pain... temporarily. But for purely physical pain, bupe is the shit. Imo, ime, ymmv, etc, etc. No I can't play with other opies as much as I used to. I really don't consider that a drawback though cos am now (finally) pretty much (physical) pain-free most of the time. If you're taking opies for other forms of pain bupe may not be of much use, but for purely physical pain it's an absolute godsend
Opiate addiction is hell. Okay, it's also great at times. But is mostly hell taken over any given length of time. And over longtime it's always hell. No exceptions.
My view is that you need to decide what it is you really want. Do you want to get fukked or live without pain? If the former bupe is not your best friend... although I can assure you you can get fukked on bupe too... and use other opies if you really want to (just takes a lil forward planning is all). If you want to be without (physical) pain pure and simple then you've just been thrown a pretty frikkin decent bone. I wouldn't piss on it if I were you. Yes other opies are fun. Who wouldn't want an oxy script? Honestly? Me. I wouldn't. I'd just abuse it and get no enjoyment nor pain relief out of it. But cos I'm on bupe I can take it or leave it. And I only need take it for recreational purposes now.
Bupe is an excellent painkiller. Far better than most opies (imo, ime, ymmv, etc, etc). Is actually my #1 choice pain med. Other opies are just too fukkin easy to abuse and lose all medicinal value from. I take my bupe every day and am no longer in pain. If I want to get poppy-fukked I can just skip a day or two (surprisingly easy to do on bupe (imo, ime, ymmv, etc, etc)) and get poppy-fukked.
I really don't see a problem here. Other than I have no idea about the patches cos have never used those. I get 12mg of (sublingual) bupe per day for my back pain and it does the trick pretty much every day. May need to be upped a tad cos am still in the early stages of treatment (second month) and some of the generic brands don't dissolve so well (which makes a big difference with bupe). But once you're on the drug you can easily negotiate doses. Should be able to anyway.
As for the generic opi-habit, get over it. Plain and simple. You can't have (proper) pain relief with most opies cos the dose has to go up and up and up and up and... and then it just doesn't work. And, let's face it, we're just abusing it and chasing our tails at that point. For me at least, bupe is the one and only opi I more or less never need to up once I've found my painkilling dose. However, if I do choose to up it (as I did tonight - an extra 6mg so far and am pretty fukkin fukked as a result) you can do so once stabilised. Or can take in other ways than prescribed (dunno 'bout patches though).
Either way, bupe is a step forward (imo, ime, ymmv, etc, etc). If ya wanna get fuxxorrated daily then look elsewhere... but look here if you wanna get fuxxorrated only sometimes and be pain-free inbetween. If you want to be pain-free and not have to fuck about then bupe is your friend. Imo, ime, ymmv, etc, etc. Not to mention its other benefits (energy boost, positivity boost, anti-anxiety, anti-depression, etc). However, I've always been a bupe evangelist cos it saved my life before and has now saved me from a life of chronic backpain.
It all comes down to a decision, opies for "fun" or opies for necessity or opies for pain relief. Ya takes yer pick. For me, bupe fills all three categories if needs be but the third one is most important to me cos can have the other two any time I choose to if I plan it right. I really don't see a problem here. If you need a higher dose then ask for it once on it. I've always found docs are most amenable to altering bupe doses to suit once you're on it. Dunno 'bout patches cos have never used 'em. The ones you've been offered sound kinda weak to me but not totally unreasonable. I'd take it and negotiate from there. At least I would if I wanted to stay on bupe. If you want other opies who knows? Depends on your doc and any number of things. Mainly on you though. Yes oxy is a better painkiller. Yes it is more fun. But in both cases that is transient. Bupe does both jobs reasonably well and stays the distance like no other opi has a chance of doing. Imo, ime, ymmv, etc, etc.
Pain clinics in the UK are shite. I'd think carefully before turning your nose up...
Good luck and hope the pain is less painful soon

I believe my pain doc will prescribe these as she asked if I'd used them before but silly me said I'd used them to not much effect...in attempt for stronger droogs. I really want pregab now as they seem to help alot!
