As far as the other gentleman...I wonder if he was really using Lidoderm, or a fentanyl ... People often get patches mixed up.:confused:

I had fast heartbeats once in the beginning with Lidoderm. But that went away.
I usually can get by with 1/2 patch...this extends them if cost is a factor.
If you place them carefully, 1/2 will sometimes do for me (esp behind the knee when my knee acts up).

There are warnings about allergy...since all --caines are sensitizing, but it is not very common.

I think they are called versatis over here, they have only been introduced very recently...

oh, that is great...

I never understood why that approval process was so delayed in UK.

These patches are great...have helped me tremendously over the years.

In this country they are still denied by some insurances, however.

I am lucky to get 90 for $35 copay...that lasts me a whole year.
