| 1 | Motion sickness-cruise | I wore the patch for seven days (changing to a new patch every three days as prescribed) for motion sickness on a cruise and had no problems while on the cruise. However, 24 hours after I removed the patch I began to have severe motion symptoms and have felt like I have been at sea ever since (it has now been 4 days). I hope the symptoms go away soon. I missed two days of work. | This possible side effect should have been better noted. | M | 51 | 7 days | 5/3/2007 | 1 | going on a cruise | As I had never been on a cruise before, I decided to try the patch. I had no seasickness at all. However, after removing the patch, I feel like I am still on the ship. I am dizzy, nauseous, off balance and even a bit confused. I am so glad I have read the other stories, so I don't feel like I am going crazy. I would never use this patch again, I can hardly wait to feel normal again. | F | 50 | | 4/23/2007 | 2 | to avoid seasickness | 3 days after removing the patch - still experiencing dizziness, sleepiness, general discomfort, foggy thinking. Can't wait to get this out of my system. | F | 60 | 5 days 1X day | 2/2/2017 | 2 | For Gastroparesis | I had a reaction to my right eye. It hurt and turned red. I got off the patch and I have been sick ever since. | When I first got on the patch I felt good. I was scared to stay on it after my eye started hurting. That was one of the side effects. | F | 70 | 9 days Don't say | 10/16/2016 | 2 | M | 1 days | 8/13/2016 | 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 | 2 | nausea prevention while at Disney World | I thought I was going blind. To the point I was scheduling a follow up appointment with my lasik doctor from 8 years ago to see if I needed an additional procedure. I couldnt read anything, close or far, and everything was in doubles and blurry. When I finally remembered ears and eyes are tied into motion sickness, I had my husband google the side affects of Transderm Scop to see blurred vision in the #1 spot. My doctor didnt mention this when pescribing it or I would have stuck with dramamine. I took it off immediately. Its 3 days later and my vision is still jacked up. Horrible, horrible crap this is. Stay away! | F | 32 | 3 days | 2/15/2014 | 2 | Cruise | Blurred vision, extreme dry mouth while using. Nausea, dizziness, continued blurred vision 48 hours after removal. | Worked great to help with my motion sickness on the ship, however the side effects and withdrawal symptoms I'm now experiencing are not worth it. I feel horrible and am worried about when my vision will (if ever) clear up to what it was previously. The side effects seem minor until you have to deal with them for days after ending treatment. I won't use these again. Not worth it. | F | 42 | 7 days 1X AN | 4/9/2012 | 2 | I was given it while before surgery | After my surgery, I was nauseous--and, in fact vomited three times, so it didn't do a great job of controlling my nausea. What is far worse, though, is that while taking the drug, I have experienced a significant worsening of my vision. I was already wearing reading classes (especially at night when I was tired), but could read fairly easily without them. While I had the patch (and still, two days after removing the patch), I cannot read ANYTHING without reading glasses--it is scary. I don't know how long it will take before my vision returns to normal. | As I was prescribed the patch while I had surgery, there could be other drugs that caused my blurred vision--the anesthesia, the pain medicine (hydrocodone acetominophen) or the antibiotics (cephalexin) I was prescribed after surgery. However, I took these two drugs for two days only because I developed a severe rash so discontinued both. Unfortunately, I left the transderm patch on for five days because I forgot it was there. That's why I think it is the cause of the blurred vision. Also, I found an article on blurred vision following wearing a scopolamine patch that describes my symptoms almost exactly. Here's the address if you want to read it: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hup.470010209/pdf My advice to medical practitioners it to tell people to take the patch off as soon as possible--I had no need to leave it on, and didn't remember it until my first attempt to wash my hair five days after having surgery on my arms. If I had taken it off sooner, I would probably be able to see better right now. | F | 49 | 5 days 1X day | 5/24/2011 | 2 | dizziness | extreme dry mouth, extreme blurred vision | it worked well at first, but then the dry mouth was extreme. The blurred vision was so bad, I could not read anything, so I had to use reading glasses. The blurred vision continued after stopping the patch. It took several months for my vision to improve. It's not worth taking this patch! I will never take it again. | M | 48 | 10 days 1 patch 2X W | 1/27/2011 | 2 | to avoid sea sickness on a cruise | NO side effects while I was wearing the patch, but horrible after-effects. dizziness, nausea and general discomfort for 4 days and still happening. | I will NOT use this patch again, due to the strong side effects once I removed it. | F | 26 | 5 days 1.0 1X O | 9/13/2010 | 2 | cruise | Used 2 patches on curise for duration of trip (7 days). Had dry mouth, and weird head feeling while using the patch. Upon arriving home, I took the patch off. Severe withdrawal 24 hours after removal. Felt like I had the flu-- nausea, vomiting, sweating, hallucination, tremmers, disorientation, paranoia, confusion, dizziness, insomnia, memory loss, motor incoordination, abnormal dreams, for 72 hours. I will not use this again | M | 60 | 7 days 1.5 mg 1X day | 7/16/2010 | 2 | Cruise | I just went on a cruise and thought it would be a great idea to put the patch behind my ear to help with my sea sickness. I felt ok the first two days...the third day I could not see! I have severe blurry vision and seem to see weird things when i close my eyes to rest. I really hope i feel better soon.....I thought i was having a stroke! How long does this last? I have 5 kids and need to drive them to and from school.....i would NEVER take this again! | F | 37 | 4 days | 2/1/2010 | 2 | Surgery | The patch did prevent me from having any nausea after my surgery. I wore it for 48 hours, then took it off, thinking I was doing great. Within a few hours of removing the patch I had to go to the ER with dialated pupils and blurred vision. They did a CT and said it seemed to be a reaction to the medicine. Later that night I developed severe nausea that neither phenergran or zofran would even touch! I am still nauseaous and my pupils are still dialated 24 hours later! | I would avoid this medicine unless you have used it before and know that it works well for you. | F | 27 | 2 days | 12/20/2008 | 2 | going on a cruise | foggy thoughts, balance problems, muscle weakness, blurry vision, bad cases of the 'spins', was not able to really hold any intelligent conversations - completely out of it. | The time on the patch was not a problem, it was once I removed it. It has been sheer hell. I will never again use this, and I will let anyone who will listen know of the side effects. | F | 41 | 9 days | 12/12/2008 | 2 | A seven day cruise | Sore throat, hacking cough, dry mouth, dizziness, confusion and need to sleep | I was taking a 7 day cruise and was given 7 patches which I ASSUMED meant 1/daily. I did not read the inserts and/or small print warning. I'm now 3 days off the patch and experiencing balance problems, sleepiness and slow thought process... cannot drive or function well. Is there anyway to counteract these symptoms? | F | 65 | 7 days | 8/12/2008 | 2 | cruise | We were in a seven day cruise, I used 3 patches, my wife used only one.. She has no side effects, but 24 hours after I took the patch off I just didnt feel right, I had blurred vision, felt very nauseated, lethargic, and very edgy..my blood pressure has been elevated and I have a constant headache. I went to the Dr, because I thought maybe I had contaced a virus on ship, the Dr.thought i had a sinus infection, then I started chest pain, went to emergency room and was admitted for stress test and heart tests, that all came back fine. This all happened in less than a week of our cruise. I am still having blurry eyes and headache and sometime feel queasy, I have been taking a dramamine now and then and it seems to help, I dont know if that is the right thing to do, but until this is out of my systen i guess it will do..I am trying to flush it out with lots of water. | The only symtom I had when wearing the patch was hoarseness, and dry throat, it did work great for the motion sickness. Would never wear it again, after affect is not worth it... | M | 57 | 7 days | 3/29/2008 | 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 | 2 | 15 day cruise | I was fine for the entire cruise - However, since the cruise (6 days) I have been incapacitated with nausea and blurred vision. | F | 50 | 17 days | 12/30/2007 | 2 | post-anesthesia nausea | I had major surgery in January 2007. I was given the patch. I was in hospital 6 days. After 3 days, I took off patch and within 24 hrs had the worst Vertigo of my life. After 4 hrs of severe dizziness/nausea and trying other anti-nauseas, I was allowed to put patch back on. Within several hours, I was okay. Twice since then, I have tried to go off the patch only to experience SEVERE nausea, dizziness, vomiting. Also, I became very emotional and confused... I have been "addicted" for almost a year. I am so afraid of what the long term side effects might be. I'm afraid I may never be able to handle the withdrawl.symptoms. | Though I give this drug a "1", I must admit that being dizzy and nausea proof has been wonderful. I just can't find info about long term use.I am a cancer patient, but have not had metastasis to areas that could affect nausea- I have just stayed on because of the withdrawl. | F | 43 | 10 months | 11/21/2007 |
