| 4 | one day sailing trip | ok on the water. took it as a precaution and immediately removed it once we docked however about 2 days post trip I began to experience what I can only describe as "boggy" hearing and a sensation of fullness/wetness though I did not get water in my ear. It took me a couple days to associate the transderm scop patch with these symptoms although they only occurred in the one ear where the patch had been. My nurse friend took a look; no wax, no water, ear drum looked good. ENT doc may very well be the next step. Its been a week today and no improvement as yet. My hearing is definitely compromised at this point and beginning to experience a bit of discomfort. | Unless I was absolutely sure I was going to get horrendously sea sick I would be very hesitant to try the patch again. | F | 57 | | 8/9/2009 | 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 | 3 | Vertigo | drowsy during the time I used the patch. Withdrawal afterwards. Heart palpitations, panic attacks, dizziness, nausea. | I used it for 12 days total for a bout of vertigo. It seemed to be a life saver. After the vertigo seemed to cease, stopped using it and went into serious withdrawal, which was most severe for about 24 hours. It has tapered but can still feel it 5 days later. Because I was so sick with vertigo, I was willing to try anything, but in retrospect, it wasn't worth it. I thought I was losing my mind/having a heart attack, couldn't sleep, etc. | M | 30 | 12 days | 6/19/2009 | 4 | Long Haul Flight | Extreme dry mouth, blurred vision | I have tried every medication since I was young to help with air sickness. This is the only one that works. I do not wear the patch too long which is why I do not experience extreme side effects after taking it off. Overall, I can deal with the side effects during the flight but would not recommend wearing it for more than 24 hours. | F | 25 | 1 days | 6/9/2009 | 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 | 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 | 4 | Severe nausea | Blurred vision, pupils dialated, dry mouth | In August of 08 I was in ICU for 2 weeks for a blood clot in my leg that broke off and went to my lungs. I survived but now I have so many problems internally that no doctor yet can correctly diagnose. I have either been to the ER or admitted to the hospital 16 times since August. One doctor at the Mayo finally gave me this ear patch for my nausea. It worked! I've been using them for 6 months now. I tried not putting one on this morning and I was throwing up. They will stay on me until I can find a doctor that can help me. This blood clot did some severe damage to some of my organs but at least my nausea is the least of my problems. | F | 55 | 6 months | 3/22/2009 | 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 | 1 | cruise | wore 2 patches--one 3 days-one 2 days--no problems while on it--after removing it I had side effects two days later--thought it was just the ship but also felt it on land--now still have dizziness a week later. I had no idea that withdrawal could happen--I will never take this medicine again--while it prevents nausea on cruise--it is horrible after--I think this patch should not to sold in Canada--I wish i knew how long this will take to go away-it is a horrible and scary feeling-worse than normal seasickness would be. | would not recommend transderm patch--doctors need more info. | F | 46 | 5 days | 2/5/2009 | 1 | cruise | severe withdrawl symptoms, headache, vomiting, dizziness, muscle tingling | the only symptom while on the patch was dry mouth. severe withdrawl symptoms 2 days after removing the patch. severe headache, dizziness, vomiting, muscles are numb and tingly, disoriented. headache and vomiting much worse than motion sickness. its like super concentrated motion sickness. left me completely immobile for 3 days. doctor said symptoms can last 2 weeks. will never use again. | F | 35 | 7 days | 1/19/2009 | 1 | Sea Sickness | Total lack of energy, no motivation, felt exausted and had severe dry mouth, blurry vision and headache. | It was very effective in stopping nausea if one is willing to accept the side effects. | M | 66 | 36 days | 1/16/2009 | 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 | 4 | Road Trip | Extremely dry mouth, I felt a small blister on side of tongue aswell. My feet were cold all the time! Drank plenty of water, but didn't help. Disoriented/confused, hard to keep up brain-mouth connection. Appetite was minimal, hardly ate at all. I wish I had cut the patch in two pieces, half dose should have been enough for me. | I suffer from motion sickness since I can remember, my poor mom would always carry ziploc bags with her when traveling with me, but the motion sickness got worse when I was pregnant and stayed like that ever since (about 6 years ago). Bottom line: the medicine did help, but I wish my DR or Pharmacist would educate me better next time. Like I said, I would cut the patch in two and get the results I wanted. I would use again, because the side effects were not as bad as stopping every so often to vomit... | F | 38 | 2 days | 12/15/2008 | 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 |
