Can a prescribed Lidoderm/ Lidocaine Patch 5% give u a pain pill buzz? Ive watched some of my friends go thru bad DTs and eat patches that were suppose to only be applied. I get Lidoderm Patches and have been keeping it a secret just incase. I don't wanna get robbed cuz they really help with my pain. I need to know if one of them ever find my patch and eat it or use it... will they get any kind of buzz from it?
t heard anyone say they tried Lidoderm patches-they work well for any part of your body you are in pain, and you can cut the patches into smaller ones if you want. They are only made up of lidocaine (numbing) for surface pain, muscle pain, any pain. You wear up to 3 for no more that 12hrs and then take a 12hr break.
Only one bad thing is they don't stick well, I have to use heavy duty med tape, but they are worth it. Plus, they are 235.
Does anyone have experience with Lidoderm Pain Patches? I use three per 12 hour period along with oxycodone, tramadol, neurontin and flexeril for pain. All the talk about Fentanyl has me concerned. BTW I am so thankful for this forum, whether or not one posts one can gain so much valuable information without fear of judgement. Kudos to sandee for keeping it going and thanx to everyone for straight up honesty in your replies to questions.
3) Lidoderm patches are patches with topical lidocaine, which works as a pain reliever. Lidoderm can work for low back pain among other things. Lidoderm, unlike Flector patches and Voltaren gel, is not a topical anti-inflammatory but rather a numbing medicine applied to the skin.
4) An over the counter option, though not as well studied, is Aspercreme cream, which is a topical salicylate (aspirin) pain reliever. It works by reducing swelling and inflammation in the muscle and joints.
Noven Pharmaceuticals wants to come out with one as well, but their being tied up by Endo and a bunch of FDA nonsense.

Lidoderm Patches (Rx Only or doctor sample) work better for me and 5% Lidocaine Cream (you can find online) is awesome! Hope this helps.
As long as it's not an Nsaid, and more like IcyHot or something, then yes it's completely safe.
I also use something called a "lidoderm" patch which has lidocaine in it but doesn't really go into your bloodstream. it's used for arthritis and localized pain and helps my back sometimes when my pain level isn't too high.
Opiates are safe in pregnancy they don't cause birth defects this includes methadone which is used as a form of pain management not just for drug addicts. There are some risks of baby having withdrawal at delivery but this can be handled easily especially if your OB knows about it prior to delivery. Keep taking your meds as prescribed if you stop cold turkey it can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth.
Sometimes I think it may be radiating from the almost constant pain I have in my hips. I tried Lidoderm patches, but without success. I now have Duragesic patches for pain, and that helps with most all the pain I have. Motrin 800mg gives it a boost when the pain breaks through.
I hope you can get relief soon. It kind of wears on you after a while, right?
My lower back has been hurting the entire time. My Dr thinks I have SI pain (the joint that spreads open some during pregnancy to allow birth).
I have to take pain meds for it, but I see a high risk specialistwe and everything. My back pain reaches a 10 within 24hrs of not taking pain meds so I can't sleep. I can go 72 hrs without sleep due to the pain.
Ask your dr about Lidoderm %5 patches. They're SAFE during pregnancy and numb the area of pain some.
Hi. Have you asked your doctor about if Lidoderm patches can be prescribed? They're category B so no harm to baby in studies. Those worked wonders for me when I had a sprained coccyx. Worth a try!!
He also told me that he is fine with giving me lidocaine injections if I choose, or he can call in a script for lidoderm patches that I can put anywhere on my body that hurts. I may also give Lyrica a second chance. It didn't work well for me before but I'm thinking about trying it again and taking it very slow when upping my dosage. Any thoughts?
