I know Elizabeth (who has been taking buprenorphine with effexor) found no relief when she tried to substitute ultram for buprenorphine.
I think the best idea is to go to a pain specialist, show him/her the buprenorphine article and proceed from there. I think pain specialists are more sympathetic when it comes to pain, than are pdocs. Even my present pdoc, who doesn't have a problem with me taking methadone, still won't prescribe it so I still go to both doctors--one for ADs and one for methadone.
