My patch had a sticky outside - probaby different manufacturer?????
I think you had another drug entirely, kmeb. There is only one Lidoderm patch. The Lidoderms are covered with a soft white moleskin material, very unlike other patches of other drugs. I have not seen a generic yet, and it is not listed as a generic at the FDA orange book.

The side effects you describe fit fentanyl --esp the sweating.
