Hi Susanne,

I'm really liking the Butrans. The first couple of days I was pretty stoned, & I've had a couple of really bad headaches from it. I needed to take some Gravol as I was nauseated as well, but after that initial couple of days it's all been really good. There is a long list of possible side affects, as with any other med.
My pcp just prescribed Motilium & wants me drink some Mag Citrate & some Milk of magnesia. I'll do that tomorrow, so I guess I'll spend my day in the bathroom. I talked to my doc about drinking beer, she said it's okay to have a couple of beer, it will help with my bowel issues. I will cut down though, as when I'm on days off I drink 3 -5 beer a night. I think that's too much.
You should talk to your Dr. about Butrans to see if it's right for you. It's nice cause u just put in on once a week, less pills to remember to pop!!

Hope u feel better.
