If the level of pain increases after dose stabilization, attempt to identify the source of increased pain before increasing the BUTRANS dose. Because steady-state plasma concentrations are achieved within 72 hours, BUTRANS dosage may be adjusted every 3 days. Dose adjustments may be made in 5 mcg/hour, 7.5 mcg/hour, or 10 mcg/hour increments by using no more than two patches of the 5 mcg/hour, or 7.5 mcg/hour, or 10 mcg/hour system(s).
(Same is true for how long until a medicine builds up to a steady state. This is why feeling better in any sustained way after just one dose is pharmacologically not possible. Lithium and Lamictal both have a half-life of about a day, hence, 5 days and either is out of your bloodstream (or, at a steady state). Abilify, by contrast, has a half-life of 75 hours, so it takes about 2 weeks either to reach a steady level or to leave your system.
