"i have a broken tail bone and an l4 fracture, didnt want pain pills so dr prescribed butrans. within 1 hour of putting 5mg patch on i was dizzy and light headed.  i went to bed and woke up still in pain and still dizzy.  day 2 nausea kicked in and still dizzy, by after i had to call dr because i had a bad headache and very nauseated.  took dramamine and helped a lil.  day 3 - i felt very out of it when i woke up, by 11am, i was extremely nauseated, dizzy and shaking.  took a dramamine and ate lunch, this did not help felt horrible at work.  i took the patch off at 12 noon and had to leave work.  i am home and its 6 hours later, shaking has stopped, still very nauseated and dizzy. very upset because the back pain had almost been totally gone"
