"i&#039;ve suffered from neck pain for many years from spondylosis and degenerative discs. i see a pain management doctor who prescribes many forms of treatment, one of which is lidocaine patches. i have used watson brand for a long time and they work quite well and often allow me to avoid pain meds. brings the pain down to a tolerable level. 

cvs pharmacy no longer carries watson so i was given the mylan brand. the mylan patches are terrible. they do not stay on the skin. 

i am now using actavis and they stay on the skin and are as effective as watson, which is hear has been discontinued."
