People are starting to talk about the catapress patch for pain, you can ask you doctor about that. I know there is another prescription topical patch for pain, but Im not sure what type of pain you mean. Withdrawal pain in itself is kind of all over and if you do a google search on the Thomas recipe you will find the best advice on the things that may help you thru this. Good luck to you

catapres isn't a patch for pain. It is a blood pressure medication (clonidine) that attaches to the same opiate receptors is your system that narcatoics do. So, while it doesn't relieve pain, it is helpful for withdrawal because it minimizes some of the the anxiety by lowering the blood pressure.
