Hi, My GP Has Put Me On Butrans (10 Micrograms)

Hi, my GP has put me on Butrans (10 micrograms) patches which I have had for three weeks now. I am also taking gabapentin, of which they have upped my dose to for each day. Can you tell me if it is okay for me to be taking both of these mats at the same time.

As a bit of background I have SLE and have over the last couple of months developed sciatica (due to a bone spur in my lower back). The sciatica pain is very acute at the moment and she thought upping the dose of gabapentin should help. Please note, it hasn't very much.
