Have you been on it before? Is this the first time you've had this kind of reaction? If so speak to your doctor, side effects can happen anytime no matter how long you've been using a medicine.

I have been on it for over a year but I just realised as I read your comment that side efffects can happen anytime. I will make a note of it and discuss with my pain specialist. I am so glad that I decided to come back to myLot, you all are so kind and helpful!

It is used for Fibroymyalgia treatment,when person has wide spread pain, instead of treating one area at a time, Lidocaine is used via IV and it helps ease/take away the pain. The treatment helps for about 3 weeks the most but one can only have the treatment every 8 weeks.

I've never heard of this kind of infusion. I would be calling my doctor and letting them know of your complications.
