the only thing that helped with every symtom. no bad side effects on me. was scared at first because of potency, however the years of the pain medicines prescribed must have given me the ability to handle it.

For the most part this has been the only medication that has kept me from being bedridden. In 2003 I wanted to die. I had given up until the Dr put me on the patch. I saw a big difference but I felt the dosage was to high. I slowly moved from 150mcg to 50mcg but it was to much to soon so I moved back up to 75mcg and Ive stayed at that dosage for years but I still have to take other meds for breakthru pain and Lyrica as well. Hopefully I can completely replace the patch with Lyrica. No bad SE

adverse reactions - had to stop

helps quite a bit. have tried going off of it but the pain becomes too great to live with.

Takes care of some of the pain. I dont think there is anything that will get rid of it all.

Worked ok too sedating

I wear one to two lidoderm patches every single day. One on my stomach sometimes two, and once in a while on my tailbone where I have severe pain.

Started with the 50 mcghour which worked like a miracle but made me vomit for two weeks straight. Am now trying a lower dose 25 mcghour with percocet 5325 for breakthrough pain. So far its working much better than oxycontin. Well see what happens with the nausea.

has helped alot-lost 85lbs!

Very helpful with controling the pain.
