Brief Answer:
buprenorphine transdermal patch

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Tramadol interacts with effexor and i will advise you not to use it.

I would advise my patients to apply buprenorphine transdermal patch for pain relief instead.

It does not interact with effexor. You need to discuss with your doctor and request for a prescription.

You can apply one patch to a dry, non-irritated, non-hairy area of your skin on your upper body such as your chest, upper back, or the outside of your arms.

Leave it in place for seven days and then remove it and replace it with a new patch, but apply the replacement patch to a different area of skin on your upper body.

Avoid using the area from where you have removed the patch for at least three weeks. Continue to replace your patches once a week, on the same day of the week.

You need a doctors prescription for the drug.
