cazdol this is an old post why do you start a new thread .Welcome to the forum :)
I use the Butrans patches and they have been a great help. I was taking every form of medicine possible for my back complaint and nothing has given me the relief that these patches have. My problem now is going cold turkey to come off the medication prescribed prior to the patches.
gabapentin is a generic form of neurontin and
baclofen is a type of muscle relaxer
amnitryptiline is a antidepressant used for sleep issues...
co-codamal....no clue...
Butrans is a transdermal version of Subutex (busprenorphine). I had seen some info on the web and understand it to be available in Europe but not in the US as of yet. In the meantime I have heard of some CP sufferers being given Subutex as an off label (and reportedly safer and better option) then the various morphine options/opioids out there.
In any event good luck!

I have never heard of them either... guess I'll have to "google it."
