Side Effects for Butrans (buprenorphine)
BUTRANS (BUPRENORPHINE): This medication is used to help relieve severe ongoing pain (such as due to arthritis, chronic back pain). Buprenorphine belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid (narcotic) analgesics. It works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. The higher strengths of this drug (7.5, 10, 15, or 20 micrograms per hour patches) should be used only if you have been regularly taking moderate amounts of opioid pain medication. These strengths may cause overdose (even death) if used by a person who has not been regularly taking opioids. Do not use this medication to relieve pain that is mild or that will go away in a few days. This medication is not for occasional ("as needed") use. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Dry cough and sometimes it makes me choke on my own sailva....Scary.Also it gives me dry, red eyes.
This stuff, at 4 mg, made me high as a kite. Yes, I know, it's supposed to be harmless and have no potential for abuse. It gave me a silly buzz and made me feel rather nice...in spite of its not helping me to sleep AT ALL!
