Hi all have been given burenorphine patches and have had this on me for 30 hours. anyone know how long before they take effect.
Am still in pain although not as bad feels like it might be easing off
any advice appreciated.
thanks

hi,i think about 48 hrs to get into your system,but remember were all different so may take longer.
you can still take the cocodomols & ibuprofen whilst on the patches.
then if you find there giving you relief you can knock down the painkillers.
i did have to take the lot,but now the slow release morphine & oramorph suit me better.
hope they work for you as there better on the stomach than tablets.
but remember if they do make you feel queasy the gp can give you anti sickness tablets.
good luck,luv debsx0
