| 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 | Travel | Wore when traveling to Africa. Had to keep on pretty much the whole trip because of motion sickness. Returned home and took the patch off as soon as we landed. With 24 hours was horrendously sick. Fatigue, nausea, light headed, anxiety, super depressed, depersonalization, and looking/acting completely drugged. For 4 days couldn't pull myself off the couch or out of bed. Day 5 started to see slight improvement with using Dramamine, zofran, and Ativan. Still have a long ways to go to get back to my normal! | F | 35 | 10 days | 7/11/2016 | 1 | Post surgical nausea | Dry mouth blurred vision headache dizzy PVCS itching dilated eyes. | After removing patch worn for 3 days post op had terrible headache nausea Pvcs dilated pupils equilibrium was off dizzy still having issues after 4th day. Terrible drug! | F | 50 | 3 days | 5/31/2016 | 2 | Post-op nausea and vomiting | Long history of post-op nausea (PONV) here. Excellent care team applied patch about an hour before surgery (along with IV Zofran) to stop the nausea. Really hoped it would help. The dizziness & blurred vision & very dry mouth made me feel worse--dying of thirst. Drank too fast post-op and had some of the worst PONV ever. CRNA said to wear it 3 days; I took it off after about 36 hours; my doctor switched me from oral promethazine (did not stay down) to meltable Zofran, which was much better. Hope it works better for others. | F | 50 | 2 days 1 mg patch 1X W | 5/18/2016 | 3 | 8 Day Cruise | While on the patch severe dry mouth, blurred vision, and swelling in legs, feet, hands, and face. Once I took the final patch off, I had a severe sore throat that lasted over a week, and continual blurred vision. | I would probably use this again. | F | 31 | 8 days standard 3X O | 4/26/2016 | 1 | Surgery | Extreme dizziness, disorientation, dialated pupils, fast heart rate, high blood pressure. HORRIBLE drug!! I will NEVER take again! 3 days after taking off patch, I feel slightly better but still dizzy and winded just by walking or talking. | F | 35 | 3 days | 4/7/2016 | 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 | 1 | Nausea during anesthesia | Ugh the patch was put on me prior to surgery so I wouldn't get sick from the anesthesia. The next morning I woke up and couldn't see anything up close. It's now 4 days later and I still can't see up close. No one told me that blurred vision was a side effect. This is awful. I had to go back to work. I will never use this again! | F | 37 | 1 days 30 | 3/12/2016 | 1 | prior to surgery to prevent nausea | Dry mouth,nausea,extreme dizziness,dialated pupils, blurred vision, constipation, trouble urinating the first 24 hrs. | I was directed to put patch on evening before surgery. Upon waking (10 hrs. after applying the patch) I was extremely dizzy and very blurred vision. Couldn't read my phone, couldn't see paperwork I was signing at the hospital.The Dr. Said I did the right thing removing it. I had all the above symptoms the first 3 days. I'm on day 4 and I'm still very dizzy at times with bouts of nausea and headaches. Im worried how long it's going to take to clear my system. I would advise no one to take this drug, very unsafe, I don't know how it's even allowed to be prescribed. Scary stuff! | F | 44 | 1 days 1.5 mg | 2/8/2016 | 1 | Motion sickness | While wearing patch dry mouth, blurred vision, fatigue. When removed patch headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, chest pain. Do not take this drug!!! | F | 49 | 4 days | 12/16/2015 | 1 | I was trying it out before a trip | I put a patch on in the evening on a Saturday. By Sunday late in the day I began to feel very dizzy. I kept it on for about another hour or two and couldn't handle the dizzy feeling anymore and took off the patch. The next day and a half I felt fine. By that night though I began experiencing dizziness off and on that progressively got worse. I also have vision issues, confusion, headaches,neasua, trouble with speech,and severe ear pain. My doctor put me on a steroid, meclezine, zofran, Zyrtec. Feeling some relieve but not all the way yet. So this is day 4 of symptoms. I did this for an up coming trip. I'm trying to find out how much longer this will last | F | 43 | 1 days 1.5 mg | 12/11/2015 | 1 | 8 day cruise | I used one patch every 72 hours as directed. I experienced extreme dry mouth and drank water constantly during my cruise. The patches really worked for seasickness which troubles me badly, but from the moment I removed the last patch, I was deathly ill. Severe nausea and headache as well as vivid, disturbing dreams were my reward for a nausea free cruise. The aftermath of the patches lasted longer than the 8 day cruise. I have been fatigued, but unable to rest soundly and once awoke to my heart flipping around in my chest like a fish out of water. I will never request this poison again. | F | 63 | 8 days 1X day | 10/31/2015 | 4 | to prevent sea sickness | I used this patch to prevent sea sickness while going deep sea fishing and it did keep me from getting sea sick. The only side effect I've had is the eye on the side I wore the patch, the pupil keeps dialating. The other pupil is normal. It's been one week now since I removed the patch and the one eye is still dialating. Weird! | F | 59 | 1 days | 10/23/2015 | 1 | Surgery | Should've learned my lesson the first time I used this for surgery as it made me extremely nauseous as soon as I took it off and the nausea lasted for days. I thought this was because I took it off after 24 hours and did not wait the 72 hours as I was instructed. Just had surgery last week and used it again this time following instructions and removing after 72 hours. The side effects were horrible. Headache, dizziness and nausea also broke out in a horrible rash. Used meclizine to try and lesson the withdrawals I was experiencing. It took a few days and a few doses of activated charcoal to start feeling normal again. Still suffering with this rash though. I would NOT recommend this drug to anyone! This drug is toxic and should not be approved for use! | F | 46 | 1 days 30 | 10/20/2015 | 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 | 3 | Motion sickness on a cruise | It really helped to keep any motion sickness in check during the cruise, but hours after I removed the patch I REALLY started feeling the negative side effects: swollen ankles, dizziness, heart pounding, sweating....all to the point that I was thinking about going to the ER. This is the day after I removed the patch and still feel ill due to the side effects. I won't use this medication again. | F | 53 | 3 days 1X day | 7/31/2015 | 1 | Surgery | i have my right eye blurry vision i can not read in my phone dry mouth i went to eye doctor all test was negative almost 10 days i have still problem . | Please Do not use this drug ad also inform FDA please i dont know when my vision will be back. | M | 33 | 3 days 1X day | 7/30/2015 | 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 | 3 | for a cruise | I just got back from a cruise yesterday morning. This patch worked for motion sickness however after I took it off yesterday I instantly had bad dry mouth and confusion. I had felt like I had burned my tongue eating something hot but I couldnt remember what I had eaten (a banana and orange juice) I then began to feel nauseous and was having blurred vision and double vision. I instantly started drinking tons of water thinking that it would flush it out of my system and I took a shower to really wash the area where I had the patch. I totally zoned out in the shower and knew I was there to wash the patch away but could not remember if I had washed it or not. I then laid down and tried to text my friend but I was seeing double vision again almost impossible to text. I actually fell asleep into a deep sleep for a long time. This is not common for me, I never take naps during the day. Well today i'm on day 2 and was supposed to pick up my husband from the airport but I do not feel confident | I was prescribed to take one patch for 72 hours and then swap it out with a patch on my alternating side. I followed instructions. | F | 39 | 1X day | 7/24/2015 | 1 | Vertigo | extreme blurry vision. Haven't been able to go to work for 3 days now. Wife has to drive me everywhere. I've been feeling confusion. It's been 3 days since I took off the patch, and still have some blurred vision. | i don't recommend anyone taking this drug. Not safe!! | M | 41 | 3 days 1.5mg | 7/21/2015 |
