Has Anyone Tried Buprenorphine?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

What do you think about it? I'm just starting on day 2😬
Update: it's been almost 3 weeks since I started taking the meds and I am impressed. I have been able to do my house work and run errands. My pain level has dropped from an 8/9 to a 4/5. I had no clue if anything could ever make me feel better.
The pain still sneaks up on me but I have to say it's manageable.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

Thank you for the advice. I have my narcan with me all the time just in case.
