| 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 | 1 | cruise | cotton mouth and blurred vision while on it. It helped me not get sick on my cruise. | But o man about 2 days after I stopped taking this I couldn't drive to work with out getting so motion sick that I had to go back home. Confusion and I thought maybe I was going a little crazy, very scared that it wasn't going to go away, dizzy spells out of the blue. Cant focus on my work. Worse after affects than LSD or any other drug I have ever took and I have took a lot of different drugs. It has been three weeks and my body and mind are finally starting to feel normal again. I wore the patch for 10 days changing it every three days behind my right ear. And when I took it off my salivary glands were swollen and I got a horrible sore throat. It has been three weeks and I can still feel the after affects a little bit and my sore throat and salivary glands still hurt. NOT WORTH IT STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRUG. SHOULD NOT BE LEGALL!!!!!!!!! | M | 30 | 10 days 1X day | 2/9/2014 | 1 | Cruise | While taking drug very dry mouth, blurry vision and dilated eyes, also very little urination. Did not suffer seasickness so I thought it was great. Used 2 patches every third day, had an itchy feeling around patch. | Exactly 24 hours after taking off patch was when the real issues began. I could not function because of the dizziness, nausea, blurry vision and severe fatigue. Thought it was jet lag and trying to get my land legs back. This is now day six and I have had issues with my balance, confusion, my head feeling full, a floaty feeling, trouble focusing and reading, exhaustion, a rash, headaches, nauseated feeling, sweaty, and weird dreams. Also, my period stopped instantly when I was on the patch and now 10 days later it has started again, 6 days after taking the patch off. It's hard to describe to others how I feel...just out of it and my body feeling weird. What the heck was in that drug that it takes so long to get out of your system? My 13 year old son wore a patch for 2 days and took it off. He says he felt fine while wearing it. I would never use this again. Will use the wristbands next time. Horrible side- effects and very scary things happening to your body | F | 47 | 7 days 1.5 mg 2X W | 2/7/2014 | 1 | Cruise | I felt fine on the cruise but once I removed the patch I felt like I was back on a cruise. Dizziness, nausea, weak. | M | 31 | 9 days | 12/20/2013 | 1 | Disney trip | 24 hours after taking off patch I had severe nausea and dizziness - lasted for 24 hours. Not sure how common these side effects are as this site seems to report mostly bad side effects. It helped while on vacation to reduce nausea on roller coasters but man did I pay for it afterwards. Also my box didn't tell me to switch ears per 3 day applications which may have made my side effects worse. I'll just stay off roller coasters, not worth it for me. | M | 43 | 9 days 1X O | 11/30/2013 | 1 | Motion Sickness/7-day Cruise | Blurred vision, Parkinson-like tremors, moderate confusion, short-term memory loss, nausea | Twenty-three years ago I underwent back surgery and was given Scopolamine to treat the nausea and vomiting which I had post-operatively. I developed hallucinations, a very frightening experience, and the Scopolamine had to be discontinued. Despite that experience, being a long-time sufferer of motion sickness, I decided to try the Transderm Scop Patch when I was going on my first cruise 4 years ago. It worked very well for me at that time. A few weeks ago, my husband and I were going on our 2nd cruise, and this time, the experience was totally different. Although it seemed to control the motion sickness for the first 6 days of the cruise, blurred vision, tremors, and moderate confusion occurred from about day 2 on, although at the time I did not connect these symptoms with the patch and thought perhaps they were related simply to being on the sea. On day 6, after replacing the 2nd patch with the 3rd to cover my final day on board, I became seriously nauseous. We disembarked the next day, and I felt moderately nauseous during our 2 days on land and our 10 hour plane trip home. But the next day, when I was settled back at home, I became significantly nauseous which has caused me to be non-functional for a week now. I feel OK when in a prone position but become nauseous when I stand and move around in any way and fall asleep very readily. I would never use this medication every again and would strongly discourage others from doing so. | F | 67 | 7 days 1X O | 11/4/2013 | 5 | Water Motion Sickness | None | My wife and I have been putting on this patch for snorkeling and cruise line trip for the past 12 years. Always works GREAT. I am really surprised at all the negative feedback. Guess we've been lucky. Would not leave on a trip without it. | M | 65 | 7 days 1X W | 9/6/2013 | 5 | Frequent vomiting | Blurry, dilated eyes, dry mouth, felt like lump in throat, red irrated at patch site after over a month. | F | 20 | 2 months 1.5 mg | 7/30/2013 | 1 | cruise | Extreme Dizziness, vomiting | F | 46 | 4 days | 7/28/2013 | 1 | Dysautonomia | Dilated eyes, eye pain, eye pressure, blurred vision, the white part of my eye turned dark, swollen eyes. Insomnia, fast heartbeat , feeling ill. | F | 18 | 3 days 1.5 mg | 7/24/2013 | 1 | Cruise | No motion sickness at all during cruise. Dry mouth, red dry eyes, inability to sweat when working out were my only side effects on ship. 1 hour after removing patch- blurred vision, nausea, one dilated pupil. | 24 hours later after removing patch I felt worse. Felt like I was coming down with a stomach bug. Felt very dizzy, blurred vision, no appetite, heart racing, headache. I started searching on line about my symptoms and so glad I came across this site. I was starting to think I was going crazy! I am now on my 6th day of feeling like this. Vision is getting better but dizziness, anxiety and fast heart rate are the same. I cannot believe that these side effects are not more known by medical professionals. The only thing I was told was that my mouth would get dry. I would never have used this patch if I knew about these withdrawal symptoms! I just wish I knew how long I'd feel this way. Very unpleasant. NEVER USING AGAIN!! | F | 34 | 7 days 1.5 mg 3X W | 7/18/2013 | 1 | Motion sickness | I went on vacation with my family when I was 13, they gave me the patch twice in two days. The second night I woke up in the motel we were staying in, with visual hallucinations that were more profound than LSD. I since have never been the same! I am now 39 and can still remember verbatim the two day trip!!! | M | 13 | 2 days 10 mg | 7/14/2013 | 1 | Anti nausea for surgery | This was the worst drug experience I have ever had in my life. I did not know what was wrong with me for the first 2 days after I had returned home from a surgery.They gave me the patch to help with Nausea. I first started feeling dizzy and disoriented and then the anxiety started. I could not walk and my heart was pounding. I have done my share of drugs and I will tell you right now this was the worst and most scary experience I have ever had. I thought I had permanently lost my mind. I spent all night awake and hyperventilating.I thought I was having a heart attack. I tried other things to calm me down but nothing helped. I am lucky my boyfriend took care of me. It lasted about 4 days and the worst 2 days where in the middle. I will never take this drug again. The doctors did not believe me when I called and told them what was happening and that made me even more scared until my boyfriend found this site and read the review. at least then I knew I wasn't going mental. | Stay Away from this drug | F | 26 | 2 days patch 1X day | 6/11/2013 | 1 | light headedness / dizziness | blurred vision, couldn't read - extreme dizziness - restlessness - anxiety - extreme fatigue - muscle weakness - impaired motor funcion | I put this patch on at 5pm on a Friday, woke up at 5am Saturday and sat up in bed, room was whirling, broke out in a cold sweat, felt horrible, immediately removed the patch and tried to sleep. Felt bad all day on Saturday, but oh my Sunday morning all hell broke loose, 24 hours after removing the patch my symptoms were heightened. My husband took me to the urgent care center, all they did was tell me to drink lots of water to try and flush the drug out of my system. Its day 5 now and I'm still having issues with dizziness, weakness and fatigue. Hoping to be back to at least the original state I was in before takign this drug soon. | F | 47 | 1 times 1.5 1X day | 6/6/2013 | 5 | Vertigo | No side effects | Only thing that stopped my vertigo, nausea, and vomiting that lasted for four weeks before I got it. Within 30 minutes of having one on, my vertigo stopped. Hasn't been back since. Highly recommend this for anyone with vertigo. Be careful and wash your hands after handling. This is a strong sympathetic system medicine. | F | 34 | 21 days 30 mg 1X day | 5/4/2013 | 1 | I had minor surgery. | When removing the patch within an hour or so I was disoriented. Felt like I was in a dream. I then became confused and kept repeating myself. I had to have my husband come to my work and take me home. I slept all night but woke up with the same side effects literally no memory, very scared and confused. Husband took me to the ER. They did cat scan and blood work and told me to drink lots of fluids. Doctors didn't seem to know about drug effects. I became worse within a few days. Finally got to the point where I was studdering and couldn't remember anything. I became catatonic and couldn't speak at all when I was finally rushed again to the ER. I was placed in ICU for 24 hours and had testing for a stroke. I also had vomiting, high blood pressure and fast heart rate. MRI, and every other test said no stroke. reaction to the patch. I then spend another two days in a regular room getting my speech back and my anxiety level down. | THIS DRUG SHOULD NOT BE ON THE MARKET! Even if some tolerate it well its not worth it to have it out there where it can cause so much havoc for those that do not tolerate it well. I was not given any side effect information besides, dry mouth and blurred vision. Surgery center just placed it on me. THIS DRUG COME FROM A PLANT IN COLUMBIA THAT IS USED FOR TRUTH SERUM AS WELL AS CRIMINALS TO DIBILIATE THE VICTIM WHERE THEY DO NOT HAVE A MEMORY OF THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED. THIS DRUG IS CALLED DEVILS BREATH IN COLUMBIA. I have went through two weeks of hell after having this patch. I thought that I was not going to live through it all. It has now cost my husband and I thousands in medical bills because of my SERIOUS reaction. Please call the FDA and the pharmaceutical reps in your area as well as the makers of this drug. If enough people do maybe it will be taken off the market. 10 DAYS OUT AND STILL WORKING ON GETTING MYSELF 100% BETTER! STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRUG. | F | 44 | 2 days unsure 1X day | 4/29/2013 | 1 | 7 day cruise | This drug is poison. I have used the patches on 3 previous cruises and thought this medication was wonderful. This time, I was terribly wrong. During the cruise the only problem I experienced was blurry vision, which I expected because it was listed as a side effect. 12 hours after I removed the patch, all hell broke loose. I was naseauted, dizzy, felt like my movement was delayed by 3 seconds, anxious, depressed, tired, was twitching and confused. I couldn't focus and was crying all the time. It has been 4.5 days since I have had that evil patch on, and I still do not feel back to normal. This drug is HORRIBLE and STAY FAR AWAY from it. | F | 24 | 7 days | 4/4/2013 | 1 | motion sickness | Urinary retention, severe constipation, dry mouth not relieved by drinking, disorientation | F | 57 | 6 days 1.5 mg | 3/4/2013 | 1 | To avoid Nausea after surger | 15 minutes into wearing the patch my heart start thumping wildly and then racing, thumping and racing...beating hard, then I noticed my throat scratchy and dry. I could not think clearly. My face was on fire and when looked into the mirror my cheeks were flushed. Diarrhea the next day. | 15 minutes into wearing the patch my heart start thumping wildly and then racing, thumping and racing...beating hard, then I noticed my throat scratchy and dry. I could not think clearly. My face was on fire and when looked into the mirror my cheeks were flushed. I thought hmmm I better look at side effects and so when I did I ripped that patch off immediately. I had placed it on at bedtime as I was to have surgery the next morning...as a result surgery was cancelled due to my condition from the patch...I had felt GREAT all day long before I placed that patch on...unbelievable...for me it was a HORRIBLE experience. I had diarrhea that next day into the next night...I didn't get any sleep that entire night after I ripped the patch off. If you have ever had an allergic reaction to any other substance DO NOT USE THIS PATCH. | F | 56 | 1 days 1X day | 1/24/2013 | 1 | motion sickness/cruise | My daughter was prescribed this patch by her PCP.
