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 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 Postherpetic Neuralgia "Watson is the worst, although I have not tried Mylan. Since I no longer have insurance and am 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 Band-Aid 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."
