Lidocaine 5% patch by Lidoderm

[TheLostBoys]

I have one of these 700mg patches & im about to place it on my back. I know this doesnt have any narcotic in it. Since it doesnt have any narcotic in it, will it increase my tolerance at all? Might be a stupid question but I still would like to know, haha!

Question...why would you even put a patch of lidocaine on your back?

They've helped with my neck in the past.
No, they will not increase your opiate tolerance

:D

The only stupid questions are those never asked.


But, 100% no, it will not effect your opiate tolerance. Lidocaine patches, or other rub/stick on numbing ones, are an effective way to deal with pain without using opiates, actually (or supplementing them, depending on the pain you have). I haven't tried an actual lidocaine one myself, but some people I know who have pain said good things about them. However, I am going to close this since it's been answered, feel free to PM me if you think otherwise.
