Default Dear stillsmiling :)

I'm on a pain patch but it's the BuTrans and I only change it once a week. I have small fiber neuropathy.

About a year ago I had to go a week without a new patch....even though I was in terrible pain I did find out that it helped me some. I use it along with Percocet 10mg up to 3 times a day.

I also had the same thing happen with gabapentin and was without it for 6 weeks. I also found out during that time that it was helping me.

So even though I had bad times I'm glad that I actually know they help me. Not perfect but it does help.

If you have problems keeping the patch on you can use the 3M Tegaderm film. It's clear and goes over the patch.

Good Luck and keep us posted.
