TRANSDERM SCOP  (SCOPOLAMINE):  This skin patch is used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness or recovery from anesthesia and surgery. This medication works by correcting the imbalance of natural substances (acetylcholine and norepinephrine) that can occur in motion sickness. It also blocks certain signals to the brain that can cause nausea and vomiting. This medication is not recommended for use in children.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Vertigo Dizzy extreme nausea weak tired loss of apitite Horrible drug. Took it for 1 day and next morning I ripped it off felt like I was having a heart attack. Could not control my thoughts my actions. This is not a safe drug. It has been 3 days since I had taken this drug off and nothing helps. I would rather deal with a vertigo attack than these side effects. Please do not take this drug it is very unsafe M 30 1 days

 1  Vertigo Extreme dry mouth, dizziness, extreme fear, insomnia, emotional, unusual thoughts and behavior, shaking, anxiety. I thought I was going crazy. Please never take this medication. Worst experience of my life. Went to the ER twice doctors in ER did not believe it was side effects of medication. They keep telling me it was the Vertigo and to keep taking the medication. Thank goodness for this website. It's been five days and still having side effects. It come in waves. Sometimes I'm fine and then all of a sudden my heart will start beating fast, or I get nauseas, or begin sweating. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRUG. F 32 5 days

 5  Motion sickness Dry mouth, thirst, tiredness, a little foggy I've used this 5 or 6 times. Usually on a boat. I do get carsick so on a trip to Asia where we were driving to factories on dirt roads that were windy I wore one. Never felt nassaus. Had a trip 3 days ago that required me to be on a bus, used the patch and was fine. I evern READ in the backseat of the car! Dry mouth and tiredness are better than nausea and vomiting. Use correct dose. It's been a game changer for me. F 44 2 days

 1  4 day cruise SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION. I had the patch on for about 24 hours and my hands/wrists were so swollen to about 2-3 times the size. I thought that it was because I was wearing the pressure point wrist bands, so I ignored it. The next day I could barely swallow. I thought that I just had severe dry mouth, a common symptom, however I was really having an allergic reaction! I came home from the cruise, and within 1 hour of taking off the patch, I have severe shaking, could not hold a glass of water. I felt like I was still on the boat with the wooziness, but way worse. I had to hold onto objects just to walk across the room. I took an allergy pill and within the hour, my heart palpitations began. High blood pressure, shaking uncontrollably, could barely stand up, felt like I was going to pass out. I ended up in the hospital. I am thankful that I saw this website because I also thought that I was going crazy. It is now 3 weeks after taking the patch off and I am not the same. I have the worse fatigue I have ever experienced. The first week off the patch I still felt like I was going to pass out, also with fatigue and shaking and confusion. I would forget what I was talking about or take an extra long time to respond to an email at work. I would have these shaking light headed episodes where I would almost pass out. I ended up missing about 2-3 days of work because of this. All I could do was sleep. I also had spasms in my legs which lasted a few days. The second week was slightly better with less of the shaking light headed episodes. The fatigue was still there however. I am just trying to be patient. Week three and I can't take it. I have not been the same since. I have never experienced this fatigue feeling for this long. I am still having trouble concentrating but it's better than week 2. I am extrememly depressed, not myself. I have actually gone back to exercising only to be let down by having to stop in the middle of it. The almost fainting episodes have stopped, thank god. However I am not myself anymore. I really hope that it fades soon. I would NOT recommend this drug to anyone. I really feel that if I did not go to the hospital that I would have passed out and not woke up. I really do. F 34 4 days

 1  Post anesthesia/surgery Blurred vision, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, anxiety that elevated blood pressure, shakiness, depression, headaches, vivid dreaming, feeling like I was trapped in my own body! I had a routine surgery that caused me to become sick after anesthesia. The nurse just put this on me and directed me not to touch it for it could cause my eyes to dilate. I was very careful not to touch it. I returned to work and after I took the patch off. I began having all above symptoms. I called my dr immediately and told me it was the patch. I missed a week of work and I prayed to God that I would recover quickly! This was a VERY SCARY experience and I thank God that I have a wonderful husband and family who helped me! I have 4 children and work a full time job. I was unable to be a mom or work! I had to rely on others to drive me and take care of my children, while I laid in bed. I am a normally very healthy 32 year old. I do not take medication, smoke, or drink alcohol. I would have rather been sick all night than go through the symptoms I experienced from this patch!!!!

 1  post-surgery About 2 hours after taking the patch off (before I knew any of the stuff on this website) my arms started to feel oddly weak. I didn't feel like I had normal control of my hands. I had blurry vision while on the patch and it got worse after I took it off. The day I took it off I was unable to eat or drink due to severe nausea. I was highly emotional which was very unusual for me. I felt depressed and fatigued. I ended up getting 4 liters of fluid through IV the day after I took the patch off. 3 days after that I ended up with what is called an intractable migraine and only a trip to the ER fixed the issue. Nearly 3 weeks later I am still having vision problems but the other issues have resolved. Stay far away from this crap. F 35 2 days

 1  Seven Day Cruise Two and a half months after using the Transderm Scope Patch and I am back to normal! I struggled the most with Vertigo. My symptoms were: dry mouth, itching around patch, vertigo, dizzy, cognitive confusion, the muscles on one side of my face (the side the patch was located on) would tense at night when I was tired. This would cause my face to appear lopsided. I had loss of near vision, extreme fatigue. ear pain, ear popping, and vomiting when patch was removed. I also had gut issues and appetite issues. Women in their mid 40s can develop vertigo (Mal de Debarquement or "MDD" a type of vertigo and imbalance that occurs after getting off of a boat.) The big question, was my body resetting itself after an allergic reaction to scopolamine in combination with MDD or was it all related to the Transderm Scope patch/scopolamine. I believe it was all related to the patch, so did the majority of the doctors I visited. Either way, I learned the actual drug is still in your sy Drink water to flush everything out of your body. I took Benadryl, and think it helped a small amount. Our cruise was very rough seas in August 2014. While the patch was on I did not get sick once. Out of 10 family/friends members on the cruise who took the patch, five had a reaction. For you who are suffering now, I am so sorry. It was a long road, but it is over now! I’m at month three and will now and work to get back into the great physical shape I was in before I had my allergic reaction. Best Wishes. F 43 4 days

 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.

 5  Motion Sickness Blurred vision while reading/up close, one pupil dilated much bigger than the other Works like a charm! Other than the blurred vision and odd-looking lopsided pupils, I have no side effects from this. Sorry to hear it doesn't work for everybody. For me, it's been a god-send on my vacations (cruises, boat/train rides, windy roads). F 47

 1  nausea after anesthesia HUGE pupils. Blurred vision. AGONIZING urinary retention. Confusion, impulsivity, loss of identity, loss of self control. Extreme anger and sadness. SEVERE flushing (like a sunburn all over). DRY MOUTH. Just complete, complete HELL. I would take the nausea over this ANY day. The stupid anesthesiologist didn't even tell me what I got - didn't tell me to take it off if I got urinary retention. It's been a WEEK and I am still needing to use a catheter to drain my bladder. What in the hell are they thinking giving this to people without their knowledge?! POISON POISON POISON. STAY AWAY!!!! I wore the patch for 2 days before Googling it and realizing it was SCOPOLAMINE. Look up Scopolamine on YouTube. It is a deliriant. If you care about your mind and body, don't let them TOUCH you with this stuff. F 23 2 days

 5  Prevention of Motion sickness I used the patch to prevent motion sickness when I went to Disney World and Universal Studios. The patch completely prevented sickness when I rode the roller coasters and motion simulators. I did experience some blurry vision. I also felt lightheaded the day after I stopped using the patch. Overall, the patch completely worked for me and I will definitely use it again. F 21 7 days

 1  Preventing post-op nausea Extreme blurry eyes, extreme dry mouth and throat I put this on before surgery at the recommendation of my anesthesiologist. When I woke up from my surgery, everything was blurry. Five hours post-surgery I could not only not read things closely, but also couldn't see the TV in my hospital room. I asked the nurse if I could take off the patch, and she said no. Well, by 11pm that night I was nearly blind and pulled off the patch. For the first week after surgery, I had severe dizziness and spins. Meclizine helped that. However, my eyesight continued to be poor for 6 weeks. I finally saw my eye Dr. and she said to wait it out. Now, 8 weeks post-surgery, I feel my eyesight is back to normal. That was a HORRIBLE experience and I only wore it for 12 hours! I will turn it down every time in the future. I would rather throw up a few times. I wanted to post for those who are worrying that your eyesight will never return to normal. It does. F 37 1 days
