| 2 | Five weeks ago, I put a patch on a Thursday morning for only 2 hours for a 1 hour flight. I took it off immediately after the plane landed. On Friday, I put on another patch for a return flight. I thought that since the trips were so short this would be ok. In the past when I wore 1 patch for 3 days, my vision was so blurry I could not read at the meetings and my vision was blurred for days. I must have over dosed because for the last 5 weeks I have had headaches, distorted vision, vertigo, loss of appetite and have been vomiting. I've seen 3 doctors and have had an MRI and I am waiting for the results. | I am terrified that this is permanent. Before this, I thought that Transderm scop was a gift. I have never been able to travel well, but after using the TS I was liberated. Not only could I fly with ease, but I could read on the plane. I did not know that I should not have used the patch so close to one another, but I didn't see any warning. A good thing that went terribly bad and I do not know what to do. | 41 | 2 days | 6/17/2007 | 1 | 4 day cruise | I had blurred vision the entire time of the cruise | I took it off and about 24 hours later the real hell came in. I feel dizzy, sick to my stomach, my eyes have trouble focusing, i want to sleep all day. I am a Mom of 4 and my husband had to take off a day of work just to get the kids on the buses. I am useless. I can hardly dtand. this is my 3 rd day off and finally can get up a little bit. My doctor said this is a better drug than dramamine, more convenient. I will never take this drug again. Nobody told me of the side effects. Dramimine never made me feel like this. Hopefully I will feel better soon and the headache will do away . | 35 | 4 days | 3/13/2009 | 1 | vertigo | Unexplainable and weird feeling. I stayed in bed for 2 days unable to sleep. My heart was pounding and bp got so high. I used meclizine 25 for two days which helped. I told my doctor about the side effects and he laugh at me. He said the drug is non-addictive. I can just remove it and that should be it. | I tried Transdem Scop because it works with a friend and my meclizine gets me sleepy. I'm back with Meclizine and am glad that it helps me when I needed it. | 67 | 3 days | 9/26/2015 | 1 | Pelvic masses causing vomitting and | Took it for 6 mths while docs figured out why Id been vomitting on and off for 2 yrs. Started patch 6 mths before eventually having surgery. It has been almost 2 mths and I suffer from muscle and joint pain like never before. Random swelling and pain. Detoxing was hell. Did it with Gravol/Dramamine. I couldn't move for 3 weeks. Delusions, vomitting, nausea, churning stomach, bowel issues, headaches, noncoherence, etc. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. | 45 | 6 months Patch | 6/9/2019 | 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 | Cruise | I used the patch for a three day cruise. I had no side effects or difficulty after removing the patch. While on the cruise it was very windy but I felt great. Had cocktails with no issues. I would definitely use it again | F | 63 | 1 days 1.5 mg/ 3 | 3/9/2017 | 5 | to avoid motion sickness on cruise | During I had the patch I did not experience motion sickness or side effects but after I took it off, it was horrible : vomits, upset stomach, dizziness. I thought I had a stomach flu. I finally recovered and could travel back to my home. It spoiled my vacations for 4 days. DO NOT USE THIS PATCH. | F | 52 | 3 days 30 1X day | 5/5/2015 | 5 | Going across country in RV. | Actually wore patches for almost a month. When I removed the patch I could not get up for two days and after a week am experiencing severe nausea and dizziness. | I wish I would have know about the withdrawal affects after wearing the patch for so many days. I have used the patch many times before for shorter trips and did not experience the withdrawal symptoms. | F | 41 | 10 days 1.5 MG | 7/28/2015 | 5 | Motion sickness | Dry mouth, thirst, tiredness, a little foggy | I've used this 5 or 6 times. Usually on a boat. I do get carsick so on a trip to Asia where we were driving to factories on dirt roads that were windy I wore one. Never felt nassaus. Had a trip 3 days ago that required me to be on a bus, used the patch and was fine. I evern READ in the backseat of the car! Dry mouth and tiredness are better than nausea and vomiting. Use correct dose. It's been a game changer for me. | F | 44 | 2 days 1 mg 1X W | 6/11/2015 | 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 | Cruise (sea sick) | Both myself and my son have to take this anytime we go on a boat or cruise. Neither of us have any issues except after we get back we have some blurry vision. | Love this patch. My son and I can enjoy ocean fishing and cruising with this patch. I have been using it for about 9 yrs now and my son started at age 11 and is now 15. Neither of us have had any major issues. We enjoy boating 100%, after we get back and take it off we have some blurry vision for about 2-3 days but 100% worth it to us. | F | 38 | 8 days 1X AN | 11/2/2016 | 5 | cruise | mild blurred vision for couple days that went away. | I get bad motion sickness and it worked great, even with rough seas (5m waves). However, 48 hours after use I am having withdrawal symptoms: nausea, headache, and light-headedness. I am hoping the withdrawal symptons pass quickly (the nausea has already gone away and the headache is waning). | F | 39 | 11 days | 2/15/2008 | 5 | Cruise/seasickness | I do get dry mouth, blurred vision with up close reading and some confusion. But all these side effects still outweigh not getting seasick! After taking off the patch I might get a few instances of "boat rocking" but I think that is just adjusting from being on a rocking boat to being on flat land again. | I have used this patch on the last 6 cruises I have been on. It is a miracle and I reccommend it to anyone. I did not get sick even when the ship was rocking so hard that they put up caution tape on all doors and barf bags on every garbage can. The blurred vision, dry throat and confusion do not bother me because anything is better than being seasick! | F | 27 | 15 days | 11/12/2008 | 5 | Cruise | very minimal - little blurred vision | From what I saw of the other passengers on the rocky water I am glad I took it - worked great! Well worth the blurred vision - for the one day it was blurred! | F | 41 | 5 days | 9/30/2008 | 5 | 7 day cruise | Could not read small print | I LOVED the patch. Felt wonderful the entire time I was on it. I get extremely motion sick and was nervous about taking my first cruise. I never felt an ounce of nausea the entire trip---airplane, ship, limo (sat facing backwards!), buses on winding, winding roads. Even eating all kinds of different foods and MANY alcoholic beverages didn't make me nauseated. It was absolutely wonderful. Used a patch for three days, washed/dried the area behind the ear and stuck another one on. Needed to wear three patches in all to get me from home to back to home (was nine days away with air travel etc.) I am amazed I had such great luck with the patch, I am extremely sensitive to medicines and usually avoid them at all costs. I had no real side effects in the days that followed after taking the patch off. I was extremely tired for a few days (I was just on a MAJOR vacation that felt like an Amazing Race, so figure it was that more than anything, plus came back from a six hour time change and had to readjust), felt a little 'wavy' but figured it was from being on a boat. Was a little 'depressed', but my vacation was done and I had such a wonderful time, I didn't want it to end. So, most of the side effects of withdrawal were mild to none. My eyesight took the longest to come back, but wasn't a big deal, had to relearn to 'focus' up close but just did some eye exercises to accomplish that. Highly recommended it to friends but will caution them now that some people have reported ill-effects. | F | 42 | 9 days | 6/1/2009 | 5 | motion sickness, mountain drive | dry mouth | I'm grateful that this product exists. It worked perfect for me, no motion sickness on twisty mountain roads in the back seat of a sports car for several hours! I took it off when we got to the destination, no side effects othe than dry mouth. I will use this medicine everytime instead of the over the counter stuff which doesn't work. | F | 44 | 1 days 1.5 mg 1X day | 5/27/2014 | 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 | 5 | after surgery this patch is great i | F | 42 | 1 days 72hr one | 8/6/2014 | 5 | Motion Sickness | Blurred vision while reading/up close, one pupil dilated much bigger than the other | Works like a charm! Other than the blurred vision and odd-looking lopsided pupils, I have no side effects from this. Sorry to hear it doesn't work for everybody. For me, it's been a god-send on my vacations (cruises, boat/train rides, windy roads). | F | 47 | 1 patch 2X W | 8/15/2014 | 5 | motion sickness | slight off-taste at back of throat; very MINIMAL eyesight change | This has been a life saver/quality of life enhancer drug for me and I been using it since it came out -- over a decade. I have very bad motion sickness -- I can't even ride in the backseat of a car for long distances -- but I love to travel and my job requires travel as well. I would suggest to users the following: (1) start with a 1/2 patch by cutting it in half. This works for most people; (2) don't wear it 24 hours a day! Even on a cruise, you are on land a good part of the time and don't need it. Additionally, on a longer cruise, you might find that 2 or 3 days out, you are used to the ship motion and don't require it; (3) Don't drink. Just like Dramamine and many other medications, alcohol does not mix; (4) Just like any other medication, really discuss it with your health care provider and be absolutely honest on all the medications and herbals/supplements/vitamins you already take. | F | 49 | | 10/3/2008 |
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)
