| 2 | M | 1 days | 8/13/2016 | 1 | Cruise | Numbness,slow speech,blurry eyed,anxiety, irregular heart beat, sweating, dizziness, headache, feeling smothered, faintness, hot and cold flashes, fear of dying, trembling or shaking. | Went on cruise, wore patch for 3 days. After taking patch off, I started having stroke like symptoms and ended up in emergency room. It has been 1 year and still having issues from the patch. | M | 3 days | 2/28/2008 | 1 | Motion sickness | I went on vacation with my family when I was 13, they gave me the patch twice in two days. The second night I woke up in the motel we were staying in, with visual hallucinations that were more profound than LSD. I since have never been the same! I am now 39 and can still remember verbatim the two day trip!!! | M | 13 | 2 days 10 mg | 7/14/2013 | 1 | For dealing with my chronic nausea | While on the patch I didn't feel any better, and i had a hard time focuses in close objects. Having to do school i took it off in less then a day. About 24 hours later I experienced extreme nausea, dizziness,drowsiness, and my eyes were dilated all day. I found online that a drug that helps with sea sickness actually subsided a victims withdrawal. I took bonine and the nausea decreased greatly. its the second day and i took one more bonine and I feel almost back to my regular state (without withdrawals) of nausea. I hope that helps. | DON'T TAKE IT!!! WITHDRAWALS ARE HORRIBLE! if experiencing withdrawals try bonine for nausea. | F | 15 | 1 days 30mg 1X day | 3/30/2012 | 4 | job as a bus counselor | extremely dry mouth, what felt like a constant post-nasal drip, blurry vision (unable to focus on things up-close), rashes/scabbing around patch as well as crusty stuff and pus, lack of appetite, extreme sensitivity to light, a bump behind my ear, and occasional fatigue | i've worn the patches last year for a duration of two months as well and i received all the same side effects as this time around. the patch works without fault, and because of this i continued to wear them regardless of all the side-effects | F | 18 | 2 months 1 patch 2X W | 7/9/2012 | 1 | Dysautonomia | Dilated eyes, eye pain, eye pressure, blurred vision, the white part of my eye turned dark, swollen eyes. Insomnia, fast heartbeat , feeling ill. | F | 18 | 3 days 1.5 mg | 7/24/2013 | 5 | Multiple sclerosis symptoms | No side effects were more noticeable then my MS symptoms in general. It helps every day with my constant vertigo, dizziness, and my nausea. If the patch stops working after 3 days I need to put on another because my symptoms come back in full force and its unbearable. I have a hard time leaving the house without one that is actively helping to control my symptoms | I really wish there were more studies about the long term effects of regular usage | F | 20 | 90 days 1.5mg 1X day | 3/17/2016 | 5 | Frequent vomiting | Blurry, dilated eyes, dry mouth, felt like lump in throat, red irrated at patch site after over a month. | F | 20 | 2 months 1.5 mg | 7/30/2013 | 4 | Pregnancy complications | Skin irritation | Based on reading the majority of the reviews, I've never experienced any blurry vision, dry mouth, etc. Sorry it didn't work out for the others, but for me it's a miracle. Im diagnosed with HG, a severe case in a pregnancy, and out of the 8 medications that I was taking daily, The patch seemed to work the most. I discontinued the 7 medications and stuck with the patch. However, I did have one problem..Since Ive been using this for about 6 months now, my skin behind my ears are very irritated. Looks like someone burned me. It did feel like a burning sensation everytime I put a new one on, but it's just a side effect, Its embarrassing to have my hair up, people tend to think I have a bad skin rash/infection. The color of the skin behind my ear is a reddish-purpleish. I did take it off once to see how it goes, and I ended up being back in the hospital, severely vomiting and vomiting up blood. As much as my skin itches a lot and burns, I just cant take it off. It’s a nightmare everytime I take a trip to the ER. HG is the worst to have during pregnancies. | F | 20 | 6 months 10 mg 2X W | 7/31/2016 | 1 | Vertigo | Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, extreme dry mouth, headaches, confusion, hallucinations, hard time remembering things, blurred vision/large pupils, abdominal cramps 24 hours after removal of patch as well as sweating, drowsiness | I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PATCH TO ANYONE!!! It made me feel way worse than I ever did to begin with. I thought taking the patch off would make me feel better but the withdrawal side effects are horrible! 24 hours after I removed it I became very nauseous and had a bad cramp in my stomach. I became very sweaty and felt like I couldn't move. I took the patch off three days ago and I'm still not feeling normal! I'm very easily confused and I cannot remember things that have just happened. The night after I took it off I had hallucinations and thought there was a giant spider chasing me out of my room at 2 in the morning. I am a small girl (100 lbs) and I think the dosage was way too much for my body! Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT use this patch. You will regret it. I wish my doctor had warned me of all these awful side effects! | F | 20 | 1 days 2X W | 8/27/2011 | 5 | 24/7 Nausea | Blurry Vision was the only side effect I felt in the beginning, which was okay with me since I already have bad vision. However after only the third patch I noticed the vision in my right eye and gotten very blurry. When I looked in the mirror my right pupil (patch was behind my right ear) had completely overtaken my iris. Took about 6-7 hours to go down halfway. | I haven't experienced the withdrawal I see people talking about yet, but I also only removed the patch 7 hours ago when I noticed my pupil had dilated. I started this without doctor recommendation because it was a patch I could get without prescription and none of my doctors could figure out any solutions for the nausea I felt. It worked, but if the withdrawal is as bad as it sounds, it might not be completely worth it. | F | 21 | 12 days 1.5mg 2X W | 11/26/2020 | 5 | Prevention of Motion sickness | I used the patch to prevent motion sickness when I went to Disney World and Universal Studios. The patch completely prevented sickness when I rode the roller coasters and motion simulators. I did experience some blurry vision. I also felt lightheaded the day after I stopped using the patch. Overall, the patch completely worked for me and I will definitely use it again. | F | 21 | 7 days | 7/5/2014 | 1 | Post-op nausea | Went in Novemeber to have my nose put back in place as it was broken. They applied a patch to me + other meds before, during, and after and still got sick. Woke up the next morning with my heart skipping beats and racing. I call their center, they convince me I'm dehydrated. As I am no longer puking, I remove the patch and drink water at the same time. Don't think anything of it. In February, I went under to get my meniscus fixed and an ACL put in my right knee. Patch goes on, into surgery I go. I wake up disoriented with nurses and doctors yelling in my face that I have to wake up. I become slightly coherent and notice I have nurses all over my body trying to find a better IV site (had 18 pokes-very hard to find my veins) to administer drugs because my heart was in AFIB going about 185 beats and skipping. They try several drugs , 15 more people enter the room, the cardiologist and his team are called down, and the crash cart is paged to my recovery room. They JUST managed to find a drug that took my heart down to 120-135 beats seconds before they were going to administer the paddles. Several hours later in the hospital room (I had to stay) I managed to connect the dots and talked to the anesthesiologist. I take off the patch and within 5-10 min my heart went down from a stable minimum of 120 beats to 85. I had to receive 3 heart ultrasounds, 2 ekgs, and wear a heart monitor for 2 weeks under the care of the cardiologist that I had to see for a month and a half. | AFIB, irregular heart beat, post-nausea, dizziness. Severely allergic with reaction that increases everytime I use. | F | 21 | 1 days | 2/17/2017 | 3 | cruise | vertigo, nausea, headache | I have used the patch many times for cruises and it usually makes me feel OKAY on the boat, I never feel great. I ALWAYS feel bad after I take it off. Luckily I dont feel as bad as many of the people who have written on here before, I usually have vertigo and nausea for awhile after I take the patch off. The ONLY thing that sometimes makes me feel better is to take a warm bath, Im not sure why it helps so much, maybe because I can actually match my vertigo up the the way the water moves or something but it definitely makes me feel better. Also, dont bother calling them about questions, they had me on hold for 20 minutes, asked me a million questions and then told me they couldnt help me because they werent doctors... gee thanks. The only good information that I got from them was that it takes 4.5 days for the medicine to leave your system and if you feel bad after taking off the patch then youre probably having withdrawls! Good luck everybody who doesnt feel well, I feel your pain. | F | 22 | 7 days 1.5 mg 3X W | 3/19/2012 | 1 | nausea after anesthesia | HUGE pupils. Blurred vision. AGONIZING urinary retention. Confusion, impulsivity, loss of identity, loss of self control. Extreme anger and sadness. SEVERE flushing (like a sunburn all over). DRY MOUTH. Just complete, complete HELL. I would take the nausea over this ANY day. The stupid anesthesiologist didn't even tell me what I got - didn't tell me to take it off if I got urinary retention. It's been a WEEK and I am still needing to use a catheter to drain my bladder. What in the hell are they thinking giving this to people without their knowledge?! POISON POISON POISON. STAY AWAY!!!! | I wore the patch for 2 days before Googling it and realizing it was SCOPOLAMINE. Look up Scopolamine on YouTube. It is a deliriant. If you care about your mind and body, don't let them TOUCH you with this stuff. | F | 23 | 2 days 1 patch 1X day | 8/5/2014 | 1 | 7 day cruise | This drug is poison. I have used the patches on 3 previous cruises and thought this medication was wonderful. This time, I was terribly wrong. During the cruise the only problem I experienced was blurry vision, which I expected because it was listed as a side effect. 12 hours after I removed the patch, all hell broke loose. I was naseauted, dizzy, felt like my movement was delayed by 3 seconds, anxious, depressed, tired, was twitching and confused. I couldn't focus and was crying all the time. It has been 4.5 days since I have had that evil patch on, and I still do not feel back to normal. This drug is HORRIBLE and STAY FAR AWAY from it. | F | 24 | 7 days | 4/4/2013 | 1 | Severe Motion Sickness | I experienced all of the side effects. I wore the patch for the first three days, at this point my vision became blurred. I replaced the patch with a new one. I realized the next morning that the medicine was causing dizziness, blurry vision and dry mouth. So, I removed the patch. Within the hour, I began to feel nauseous, my head began to spin, and I began to feel anexious. I am assumming there were withdrawl symptoms. I called my PCP and said symptoms can last up to a week. If you have any sensitivity to drugs....DO NOT TAKE THIS! I was and continue to be miserable 3 days later. | F | 24 | 3 days | 12/11/2012 | 4 | Long Haul Flight | Extreme dry mouth, blurred vision | I have tried every medication since I was young to help with air sickness. This is the only one that works. I do not wear the patch too long which is why I do not experience extreme side effects after taking it off. Overall, I can deal with the side effects during the flight but would not recommend wearing it for more than 24 hours. | F | 25 | 1 days | 6/9/2009 | 2 | Motion Sickness for Cruise | Was fine for the first 3 days, on the night of the 4th day I started feeling incredibly dizzy and took off the patch. It is day 10 and I am still incredibly dizzy, feelings of numbness all over and feeling disconnected from my body. I went to the doctor today and she thinks it's inner ear issues and prescribed steroids. we'll see. this is an awful long time for side effects on a patch i used for4 days i'd think. | My mom used it and was fine. I didn't even have dry mouth for the 4 days I used it. But for all this, not worth it. | F | 25 | 4 days | 3/17/2008 | 1 | 7 day cruise | While on the cruise I felt good. I normally get very bad sea sickness. The patch did work while on the cruise. I used 1 patch every three days. But it is nothing compared to what I felt after removing the patch. About 24 hours after removing the patch I felt disoriented. I thought a good nights sleep would get me back to normal, but i feel worse today (day 2 of being off). Thankful for this forum, I was worried there was something really wrong with me. I feel nauseous, dizzy, light headed, cloudy, constipated, anxious, emotional, sensitive to light and sound, short of breath. It is an awful withdrawal. The fun I had on the cruise is not worth how I feel now. | I would not use this patch again. I would try bonine or just not go on a cruise. It is not worth it. After taking one week off for a vacation, I am going to need another week off to recover from the Patch. | F | 25 | 6 days 1.5 mg 1X O | 7/18/2010 |
TRANSDERM SCOP (SCOPOLAMINE): This skin patch is used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness or recovery from anesthesia and surgery. This medication works by correcting the imbalance of natural substances (acetylcholine and norepinephrine) that can occur in motion sickness. It also blocks certain signals to the brain that can cause nausea and vomiting. This medication is not recommended for use in children. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
