Yes, they were prescribed at the same time. Perhaps your doc stopped your vicodin due to the patch? Sorry, I don't know anything about patches.

Yes, he told me I could still take percocets for break through pain. How is the patch working for you? Any side effects? How's the pain level.

Mine is only 5mcg, it still doesn't eliminate all the pain though. But it does help a lot.

I kind of wondered about that too. The butrans is (from what I read) supposed to block the oxycodone from working by occupying the same receptors.

Wondering if anyone has taken these and gotten similar reaction, and if the side effects level out eventually (better yet, go away!).

I'm taking 5mg butrans transdermal patch for pain, along with my percocets which I've been taking for a very long time, so that's not a problem, and gabapenten 100mg twice a day.

I'm thinking it's the pain patch making me sick, but not sure.

Symptoms: abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue and weakness.

I'm only on day two of the new meds. Any thoughts?

When I started my pain patches I had similar problems, they went away within a week, mine were Lidoderm patches, I was taking along with Lortab and/or Percocet after my procedure. The patches really help with a soothing cooling affect, I hope you get thru this soon and they help overall. Pain is miserable, especially when we have to deal with it everyday!
