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."

For Pain "The Watson patches work well and stick. The Mylan patches are garbage. They do not stick and deliver no relief."

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!"
