| 1 | motion sickness | I cut the patch in half because I am sensitive to drugs. I applied it per label directions and within an hour I was stumbling, slurring words, disoriented, crying, blurry vision, extreme fatigue, aggitation. It scared me so much that I took the patch off after an hour and it took me several days to feel back to normal. It was AWFUL and I would never take it again. It freaked me out so badly that I couldn't even get ON the plane to fly to LA and be on the Dr Phil show...and they had bought me a first class ticket and flown a producer out to fly back with me because of my fear of flying. RUINED my chance to be personally on the show-- they had to do a phone interview with me! | Honestly think it should be taken off the market. | F | 38 | 1 days 1X day | 3/23/2010 | 1 | Prevent motion sickenss | Blurred vision, nausea, dizzy, tunnel effect, irritability, mood swings. | Symptoms started after I removed the patch are still here 6 days later. | M | 35 | 1 days 1 1X day | 2/28/2010 | 1 | MOTION SICKNESS | My pupils were super dilated- out in the sun I could hardly navigate as my eyes wouldn't constric to the light | The nurse on the cruise ship says they DO NOT recommend the patch at all. They had a pill they gave out free- worked great | F | 48 | 2 days | 1/10/2010 | 1 | balance problems/inner ear issues | Disoriented, sluggish, motor skills effected, would not try to drive, and was still off balance. | I would not reccommend this for balance problems due to inner ear issues. On the drug everything was much worse than off the drug. I am dissappointed that we spent $81 on patches just to find out they don't work for me. Am glad I got off quicky, and returned to almost normal in about 1/2 a day. | F | 46 | 1 days | 12/24/2009 | 1 | post surgery | My eyes were dialated and vision blurred. I felt completely fuzzy. 12 hours after removing the first patch I started vomiting (which caused me to rip stitches) and did so for 6 hours. I was shaking and hallucinating. My doctor prescribed another patch. 15 min after putting it on the nausea stopped but the blurred vision and fuzziness remained. | I have never thrown up so violently. I feel like I was poisoned. I wore the second patch for three days. When I removed it I started taking high doses of non-drowsy dramamine to avoid the withdrawal symptoms I believed caused the vomiting. It took 3 days after removing the patch before my vision returned to normal and it took the better part of a week before my nausea went away. I will never take that drup again. User beware! | F | 39 | 5 days | 11/16/2009 | 1 | motion sickness | Severe dry mouth, blurred vision, nausea, weird head feeling, "burn' area wear patch was worn, tiredness. | Wore the patch to help with motion sickness for an airplane trip to FLorida. Left patch on for duration of trip (7 days). Had severe dry mouth, blurred vision and weird head feeling while using the patch, along with itching of area where patch was applied. Upon arriving home, I took the patch off and within a few hours became tired, nauseated, dizzy and weak, with blurry vision continuing. Patch area had "burned" behind my ear. Will never use this product again! Don't know how long it will take to get back to normal. Have a Dr. appt. tomorrow to see what can be done for side effects of the Transderm Scop. So not worth the side effects! | F | 52 | 8 days | 11/2/2009 | 1 | nausea | on the patch suffered severe anxiety, which sent me to the hospital 3 times. Thought I was dying. Took off the patch and has severe vertigo and vomiting. Put patch back on and slowly weaned off by cutting down to half and then a quarter before finally being done. Am at 48 hours after taking it off for good and only have some nausea and tiredness. Would NEVER recommend taking it . HORRIBLE. Have 5 kids too and have had to have constant help for the whole month. | F | 33 | 35 days | 10/13/2009 | 1 | Cruise | Made the mistake of taking patch 24 hrs before getting off the ship, then trying to fly home from Philidelphia to Sacramento. I was so very sick I almost could not walk husband had to get wheel chair to get me to the gate. I could not hold my head up and was vomiting something very vile and green. I was very weird in my head and thinking some very strange things. | If you have a low tolerence to medication DO NOT USE PATCHES AS THEY ARE EVIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has been 8 days and I still do not feel right. Probably one of the worst things was the dry mouth and horrible taste on my tongue, besides wanting to die---- blurry eyes (still) feeling weak(still). | F | 67 | 10 days | 10/1/2009 | 1 | motion sickness | Blurred vision at first. dry mouth, then violent nausea. no appetite for days extreme acid stomach heartburn.. also burning sensation in ear and throat. unable to sleep on side ear patch was worn behind. | i wore each patch for three days each. after second patch simptoms started. consulted cruise doctor. recomended remove patch and let side effect or withdraw run course. became seriously ill for the next few days. and still not fully recovered after a week. this drug ruined my once in a lifetime two week cruise to alaska..would not recomend this patch and should be removed!!! | M | 40 | 4 days | 9/23/2009 | 1 | Vertigo | I put the patch on around 10pm. By 2 am I was disoriented, severe dry mouth, hallucinating, felt like I was floating. I was terrified but fell back to sleep. I had blurred vision and was extremely tired. I woke up at 6am and immediately removed the patch. Within an hour the side effects really kicked in. I thought I had a stroke. I could barely put two words together. I felt like I was floating in mid air, panic struck, I scared the heck out of my boyfriend when I called to tell him how I was feeling. After several hours of sleeping the effects wore off. I am still a bit fuzzy (it has been about 29 hours since removal). | NO DOCTOR SHOULD EVER GIVE THIS PATCH. THIS PATCH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM AN ACCEPTABLE MEDICINE LIST. The side effects during and especially after are horrific. I only feel better because I have read these comments. The patch cost me $50 for five and I almost went to the ER because I thought I had a stroke. I'll use meclizine (dramamine)any day of the week. I will report this to my doctor and the FDA. Thank God I only had it on for 8 hours!!!! | F | 43 | 1 days | 9/5/2009 | 1 | Sailing Trip | Removed it Friday, got home from Florida Saturday and within 24 hours had anxiety, nervousness, dry mouth, loss of appitite, head swimming, slurred speech, total fatigue... felt incapacitated. Two days later (Monday) woke up, passed out and cracked my head open requiring several stitches and a mild concussion. Felt better by the next Thursday, but then one week later had a mind racing, clautrophobic experience in a hotel when trying to sleep. Then another week later while having dinner with friends, my mind went racing and got anxious, dry mouth, loss of appitite again, with head also goofy feeling. Two weeks later had the same mind racing, difficult sleeping experience as before with some occasional mild anxiety and loss of appitite again but this time lasting 6 days. 5+ weeks later I am trying to feel better. This is the worst medication I have ever taken. I have filed a report to the FDA. I pray daily and hope the side effects continue to dwindle. | I took the med for 7 days applying a patch (total of 3) every three days. Lost one while snorkeling after 2 days or would have taken only two. Dr's are CLUELESS on withdrawal and have no idea what's going on. Take Dramamine or just throw up until you get your sea legs. Its not worth it to take scopolamine. | M | 47 | 7 days | 9/2/2009 | 1 | Nausea after eating. | Short term memory loss, mental confusion, problems in concentration, stomach ache, dizziness. | Side effects began within 24 hrs. after applying patch. By the time three days were up, I felt horrible and feared I had Alzheimer's Disease so I removed the patch and did not apply a new one. I called doctor & spoke with nurse who said to give it some time and drink a lot of water. This was three days ago and I still feel mentally fuzzy and have trouble even forcing food down. I am very depressed thinking I may never feel better. | F | 70 | 3 days | 7/15/2009 | 1 | cruise | felt like I was in a fog, extreme thirst and dry throat, hallucinations ( I vaguely remember breaking a glass in my stateroom and had to go to the Dr. I cut my foot and had to get two stitches in my knee) | Severe withdrawal 24 hours after removal felt like I had the flu nausea, vomiting, sweating very tired slept for almost 2 days. Would never recommend. Not worth it, I feel like I need glasses now. | F | 42 | 6 days | 5/15/2009 | 1 | post surgery | The patch was put behind my ear before surgery and I was told to remove it in three days. I became very nauseated after removing the patch and thought it was because of other medication so the doctor gave me a prescription for more patches. I finally did research on the patch when every time I removed it I became sick within 24 hours. I am now on my fourth day of withdrawal. First day was nausea, second day was nervousness, third day included headaches, and today I am still not good but better. | Do not let anyone put this nausea patch behind your ear for surgery. If they do, take it off before the 3-day limit. You will regret every minute of it because the withdrawals are horrible. | F | 54 | 30 days | 5/11/2009 | 1 | cruise | extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, unable to concentrate, loss of appetite, feel like in a fog. | I was fine while using this patch on 7 day cruise but one day after removing my third patch everything changed! I have extreme fatigue, muscle weakness and short term memory problems. Just walking feels like too much work! I am having a lot of trouble concentrating. Today is my 7th day since the patch was removed and I am still sleeping all the time. I slept 15 hours last night and took another long nap today. I have no appetite either. My mom also used this patch and is having similar symptoms a week later. We will have to call our Dr. Do not use this, it is not worth it! We are a mess and are getting scared that we will never be the same again. Use Bonine or non-drowsy Dramamine. | F | 53 | 9 days | 3/28/2009 | 1 | cruise | Thank God I finally know what is wrong with me...This is the WORST! I had no idea there were side effects after taking the patch off. I can hardly walk or think clearly. I tried to go to work and thought I was going to pass out.I had to leave and could hardly drive home. I am sick to my stomach, my muscles are weak and I am so dizzy I can hardly type this. PLEASE don't use this...it's not worth it. | F | 43 | 4 days | 3/20/2009 | 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 | Four night cruise | While medication was applied it did work for sea/motion sickness.I was told by my doctor to applie a new patch every day only to find out later they last for 3 days.By the fourth day I could not read anything,and after the first day I had a sore throat.Not that big of a deal,until I got home and went to work,I am a tattoo artist.I could not see well enough to even consider tattooing.My motor skills were also effected. | The withdrawal simptoms were horrible,It was like a bad LSD(acid) trip.I felt as if I could vomit,but only dry heaved a few times.Objects were floating,could hardly walk at times,Felt as if I was outside my body.I new it was the patch that was making me feel this way(I read side effects on this sight as soon as i got back from my cruise).I had a feeling that I was going to die,afraid to go to sleep.I just kept convincing my self that it would end soon.If you have never experienced an lsd trip you will think your going crazy.Its day three off the patch starting to feel better,can see well enough to go to work and tattoo.Still feel out of it.Why didnt my doctor tell me of the side effects?Why did she tell me to apply new patch every day?Why was this taken of the market for two years?I read on this sight that it was previously used as a truth seruim,wich is was lsd was first made for.Do not take this medication,I will never ever use it again!I would have raller been sea sick than feel li | M | 32 | 4 days | 2/22/2009 | 1 | Cruise | While on the patch - dry mouth, dry nose, trouble concentrating, off balance, feeling "weird" | going off the patch - after 2 days have had similar side effects, dizzy, hard time concentrating, tired, constant dull headache - sometime strong, very blurred vision close up, dialated pupils. | F | 47 | 3 days | 2/11/2009 | 1 | 4 day cruise | While on the cruise I had dry mouth loss of appetite and I was a bit tired | after I took off the patch is when all the fun starts...I feel sick my eyes won't stay focused I feel like a piece of garbage. I would rather never go on another cruise then have this feeling ever again. DON"T TAKE THIS DRUG!!!!! | F | 32 | 3 days | 2/10/2009 |
