Lidoderm Patch anyone?

Post by musiclover »

I saw my neurologist today. I told her things are about the same. Requip seems to work most nights but I still have nights like last night where nothing worked. She said she has several patients using the Lidoderm Patch. She said it is fairly expensive but some have had some luck with it. So, wondering if anyone here has ever used it - success, like, don't like?

I can describe it further if anyone is interested. I did a search on the site and didn't find this option mentioned.

(She also wants to check my iron level again to see if the level has increased since I've been taking the iron supplements for about 6 months now.)

Thanks!

I haven't heard of it, so I'd love to hear if anyone else has.

Tried the patch about two years age for shoulder/back pain. Did not notice any difference with respect to the rls while I was on it. Didn't work for the shoulder/back either.
