I was recently prescribed buprenorphine 5 mcg patch and am admittedly nervous of trying it. None of my friends have tried it, and the list of side effects make me anxious.
In the past I’ve been prescribed oxy, morphine, tramadol— the morphine took the most edge off, maybe 10%, but that would only last a few hours. I’ve been dealing with chronic pain for nearly 3 years now and was only recently referred to pain management after two failed back surgeries and two failed injections. All and any advice would be appreciated— I’m 25 and just want to return to some sort of better quality of life.
