1 | Motion sickness on trip | I used the patch before and had no issues using it on this trip. I took off patch after plane/car ride home after 2 days with that patch on. I woke up with extreme itching thoughout my body, then progressed to dizzy feeling. I took benadryl with no help, got worse went to ER. Told them about trip, mentioned patch. ER dr told me maybe bug bite or parasite from ocean. Put me on prednisone. Got worse and worse over the next 7 days (another trip to ER, and 2 trips to walk in clinic). Dizzy, not myself, could not think or drive, shaking, and heart rate up even after an hour in doctor office. Just told me to go home and drink water, came off prednisone given antihistamine. Dr took me off everything except antibiotic while waiting for blood work to come back. Doctors said, have no idea what you came in contact with and did not believe it was from patch (and neither did I and that point). | Came home in tears on day 7 from doctor as heart rate was still up and dr pretty much told me to "calm down it will go away". Thankfully I did not have to go back to work for 2 weeks but was getting nervous about being forced into a medical leave. I went to my computer and searched everything, places I have been, bugs, ocean water....then finally this site and a few others like this! YES!!!! I found it!! I was shocked as I used the patch before but like so many before me, it happens a lot to people who used it before. It was everything I had! I read about people doing the dramamine. I was so nervous to do it but it was over the counter and told my husband it can't hurt and had taken it before. It was like a MIRACLE. Total turn around. I took 50mg (non drowsy brand only, reg one has a different drug). I took 25mg every 6 hrs for 12 hours (2 doses), then took a 24 hr 50mg dose and slept it off. No more meds, heart rate down, dizzy stopped. You will know when to take the next pill as you start feeling it again. If it is at night take 25mg or try to sleep it off. I am still waiting my blood work and when I go back this week, I plan on getting my records and then telling this dr he needs to read up on this patch! I also plan on writing my hospital to inform their doctors, did not have to go through those 7 days of extreme discomfort if they understood this withdrawals from this patch. Email me any questions. | F | 40 | 2X W | 8/19/2014 |
