lidoderm toxicity

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?

Is anyone out there using lidoderm patches for back and/or neck pain? My neurosurgeon just prescribed them for me--they're a topical anesthetic patch. I tried one, it seemed to help briefly. I've been taking Lyrica for about a month, trying to taper off hydrocodone (after 7 months of steady use), and wondering why I have not seen these lidoderm patches mentioned by anyone in any of the back pain boards I've looked at. Looking for input on this. Thanks.

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.

Do any or many of you use Lidoderm patches for pain? I used them some before getting Trimadol and still think about using them along with the Trimadol, but have some concerns. For several days I used them on hip, leg and knee (by instructions for number of patches and length of time) and did get some relief; however, my calf is swollen and very, very numb to the touch, but also burning badly.

Hi, a lot of people benefit from the Lidoderm patches. I hope it helps. I completely understand about life consisting only of work and sleep. That doesn't make much of a life. That exquisite sensitivity to light touch is called allodynia. Often a firm touch is tolerable, but the light brushing of clothes or a light touch from another person is unbearable. Seems backward, but it is common. Another addition that can help the Cymbalta is a low-dose of amiltrityline at night.

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.

Just wondering if many on here have tried the Lidoderm patch? I have actually found it to help take off the sharp edges of pain in my back. I guess some insurances per my doc are kinda against it for anything other then for shingle pain, but my insurance did approve it for my chronic back pain.

Noven Pharmaceuticals wants to come out with one as well, but their being tied up by Endo and a bunch of FDA nonsense. This is a more recent article about Watson: http://www.empr.

Lidoderm Patches (Rx Only or doctor sample) work better for me and 5% Lidocaine Cream (you can find online) is awesome! Hope this helps.

Please get a complete hormone panel ESH, LH, estrogen, progesterone and see if there is an imbalance. Hormone replacement therapy will help. With metal toxicity, certain chelating agents are given which bind with the metal and remove them from the body. Normal detox diet will not take care of that. It basically increases the antioxidants in the body. Hope this helps. Take care!

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.

Voltaren gel and/or lidoderm patcges may help take the edge off. They are prescriptions but are topical and not systemic. Nerve pain can be hard to manage and you sometimes need to piece a bunch ofvthings together to getvrelief. Pool therapy may alsonhelp.

I have had really bad issues with walking, now requiring a can, for about a year. Diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis. It's gotten so bad that I started doing research. I have been doing 5-day energy shots daily for 6 months now - about 40mg of B6 per day (was doing emergen-c's before that). I'm thinking my walking, tingling may indeed be B6 toxicity and am going for a blood test this afternoon. I've gotten a lot of good information from this group - thank you.

I am having all of the symptoms related to B6 toxicity. I do not take vitamin supplements and have a healthy diet. What can cause me to have such a high b6 level if I am not taking supplements? My doctor asked me to give him a month to figure it out but I am in pain and want some answers.

I have been diagnosed with B6 toxicity. My doctor said that exercise would be good because it would speed metabolism. However, I'm concerned about doing what is best to heal my nerves. Since walking makes my feel hurt, throb, and twitch, I'm guessing that walking would actually hurt the healing process, not help. What has everyone else's experience been with healing from B6 toxicity and exercise? Do you think exercise helps or hinders the healing process?

As I mentioned in a prior posts I am an ex-IV user and I have a question about toxicity. At the end of my using days I had a wake up call, it was in September 2003, I was using alot of illegal drugs. I had been taking loads of valium unprescribed and I did a dime, yes a dime bag of H. I don't like putting this out there but it's really the only way I can get to my question.

Is it possible that my antimony level, more that twice and a half the normal range, could be causing me toxicity symptoms?

You should note that I acquired my current disability while seeing my psychopharmocologist and there were no medical errors in jugdment made and I did stick with him. But Lithium toxicity, although rare is something that doesn't happen overnight and if you called it to your psychiatrist's attention they should have acted immediately. If you want more details pm me.

Back when I was a kid in the early 1980's my older sister stole a tube of mercury from her high school science lab. It was a pretty good amount, not the small amount in a thermometer. I thought it was fascinating and we played with it for hour, rolling in around in our hands and watching it break apart and come together again. We did this for a few weeks or even months I would say.

I RECENTLY STOPPED TAKING 400 MG OF PLAQUENIL DUE TO RETINAL TOXICITY. I TOOK THIS MED. FOR 20 PLUS YEARS. NOW MY VISION IS BLURRY LIKE LOOKING THROUGH A FOG HOWEVER I CAN READ THE EYE CHART AT 20/25. MY EYES ARE ALSO SENSITIVE TO THE SUN. MY QUESTION IS WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF MY VISION RETURNING TO NORMAL. PS I ALSO TAKE OTHER ANTI INFLAMMATORY DRUGS FOR RA.

does barium toxicity cause a lot of health problems including twitch ,generalized muscle loss,muscle pain,hyperflexibility ,candida,food intolerance how can i make sure that i have food intolerance (i complain of constipation,gases) which occur after barim ingestion

I have not heard of a B-6 toxicity. I have heard of deficiency symptoms, but never the other. How much had you been taking. You see, B-6, along with other B vitamins is water soluble, and your body excretes what it does not need, so, this is very new to me.
