Butrans Patches & Itching

I've been on the Butrans patches now for 2 months. I started on 5mg & now I'm on 20mg. I also have Amitriptyline 10mg per day which eventually will go up to 50mg... I also have Tramadol when needed... I was put on Gabapentin but they made me too dopey & they was not good for my Epilepsy either. I felt really ill off them. I suffer from nerve pain as well as stiffness and the Butrans helps with the stiffness; they don't take the major pain away but they do help... I just wish I could stop itching, it's driving me nuts. So if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. TY.

Try using a cold pack - relieves the itching (for me, at least) instantly

What type of itching are you experiencing? As in, is it localized to the area of the patch, or is all over your body?

If it's the latter, if might be an allergic reaction to something.

Ref: Butrans Information

Is there any rash, or redness to the itchy areas?

Are you known to have allergies?
