How is nerve toxicity treated, and what medicines should I take if I have developed it after the prolonged and excessive use of topical lidocaine spray?
If you suspect nerve toxicity, stop using the lidocaine spray immediately. Treatment primarily focuses on discontinuing the drug and managing symptoms. For neuropathic (nerve) pain, a doctor may prescribe medications such as gabapentin, pregabalin, or low-dose amitriptyline. Vitamin B-complex supplements (especially B12) may also be recommended to support nerve recovery. Please do not self-medicate. Prolonged lidocaine overuse can lead to serious systemic toxicity affecting your heart and brain. It is crucial to consult a healthcare professional or neurologist immediately for a proper evaluation and a safe, prescription-based treatment plan.
