For Pain "Lidocaine 5% patch from Watson is great, but found out they are not making them anymore. =( So, was given patches from Mylan. They are stiff plus do not stick at all. They are a poor substitute."

For Pain "Awful patch, waste of money! They should be embarrassed to sell a patch that doesn't stick to your skin. What is the point?"

For Postherpetic Neuralgia "Watson are the worst although I have not tried Mylan and since I no longer have insurance and not working I won't be getting them again at 350.00 a box."

For Postherpetic Neuralgia "I found the fix to make the patches stick. Get a bandaid that's a little larger than the size of the patch. Put the Band-Aid over the patch. Good Band-Aids will hold!"

For Postherpetic Neuralgia "I have sciatica Couldn’t find any other options so I chose lidoderm, but I have the 5% lidocaine patches by Mylan, and they do not and will not stick to me whatsoever, doesn’t matter how much I clean the area prior, it will not stick. And they are from a new box so I don’t know what’s going on, I’ve used 4% patches from the store and they stick, I don’t understand why these won’t."
