Hi all
It's been a long while since i visited BL. My question is can i use Butrans patch (20 mcg/hr) to cover me since i will run out of suboxone 2 days early this month . I take 12-16 mg a day depending on pain. I take 3-4 mg doses 3-4 times a day for chronic pain. Last year I was given Butrans patch's but never used them.
Even though people say suboxone stays in your body for 36 hours I start yawning within 6 hours if i try to skip a dose. If i push through I will get leg pain & stomach pain by 10 hours no suboone. Because of that i am afraid of w/d when i run out.
Sadly one of my kids is also on suboxone & he runs short alot so i have been giving him my "extra's" & messed up this month. He doesn't know i take suboxone but has seen the butran's box. So will Butrans patch help & will i need more than 1 patch to keep me out of w/d;s? When i read about the patch it seems like you only get 5 mg per day.
Any suggestions are welcomed...
Thanks
