Please excuse my typos. My flare ups make me jerk and shake sometimes. Its hard o type. I meant to say that I am on zero medication at this time for it due to the flare-up reaction
Thanks in advance.

If you state the med that would help with feedback.

I'm sorry I didn't know that could state the names here. I was on 10 mcg of Butrans which as diet 20 mcg. The same day the RSD move from my feet and left hand up to my back and to my mouth. It was incredibly painful. It felt and looked like my whole body had chapped too. After the med was stopped it took several weeks for evčrything to calm a bit.

Hi Russell, thank you for the reply. I believe it was mutual. This was last month and here I am in another flare up. Has you or anyone else taken Mobic for the inflammation? I start that tonight.

Default Welcome Acoya
I am so sorry you are having so much pain. I have small fiber neuropathy but your medicine caught my attention.

I am also on the BuTrans patch. I started at 5 mcg/hr, and each month since have gone up (to 7.5 then 10 and will start the 15 this Saturday).

I've only had site reaction from the patch that lasts a week after taking it off. Red and angry skin but it slowly fades away.

I have not have much contact with anyone that uses these patches but I hope someone comes along that can help you.

Please keep us posted and I pray your pain lessens quickly.

The whole point of Low Dose Naltrexone is to achieve pain relief without side effects. I don't think increasing the dosage is supposed cause greater pain relief. What you're taking seems to be a variation of the same type of med.

Your original dosage by patch is probably stronger than Low Dose Naltrexone.

This link has info about both Low Dose Naltrexone and the idea that opiates can increase pain. (What you were on is a synthetic opiate.)
