Somehow it affected my left ear nerve, and affected it somehow and I had a huge vertigo attack the next morning on the left side. I still cannot move my head back and to the left without some dizziness... but the surging awful vertigo was terrible. That left ear was tested years ago (in the '70's), and the results of the electronystagmagram showed severe nerve damage (possibly from measles or abuse as a child)... and I have had 4 vertigo attacks as an adult from that ear since. I do think it was from too much Lidocaine.
So do be careful with this new cream and use cautiously.

I would think that the patches would have much more. They recommend the use of up to three patches at one time. I'm guessing that would be a lot more than a large dose of that cream. I've used fairly large amounts of a 2.5 with no issues, and putting it on several times a day. So unless they have a warning about that I'm not sure if it's an issue for most. I could be wrong of course.
