hmmm... would be interested in Cam's response. Maybe just because they are so "weak" they might not be considered addictive?

Even Unguentine (sic) has lidocaine in it so I can see why these would help. Unfortunately, I am allergice (highly sensitive) to Lidocaine.

If anyone is highly allergic, they can find a specialist ENT who works with allergies and can not only determine those meds you are allergic to, but often desensitize you so you can take them! This might be a good answer for others who are desperate...
