It was a couple of days of h-e double hockey sticks after starting the Butrans since I've only ever taken Norco for my pain, but luckily I think the Butrans finally kicked into gear around 36 hours or so after applying the patch and finally on Sunday afternoon (yesterday), I turned a corner and no longer feel like I'm in severe withdrawals. Wish I'd have had the warning, but glad it's better. I am having some breakthrough pain, though and was up late last night in pain from my legs, so I don't know what I am going to use if I keep getting BT pain since I am not sure the Norco will still work with this patch, but I see my Pdoc again on the 9th, so I guess we'll see what he says.
