For Motion Sickness "If I could give this drug a negative rating, I would. PLEASE be careful taking it. I sought the patch to use on 6-day cruise after reading that it was more effective than meclizine. Meclizine is a JOY compared to scopalamine. On patch, I was @ the ship's infirmary every day with low bp and feeling overheated (cruise was in Canada during fall - not warm weather!) Wicked, constant headache, nausea and could barely keep eyes open for entire trip. Ruined vacation. Disembarked and went straight to ER. Was completely dehydrated. ER doc informed me of documented instances of scopolamine psychosis. VERY dangerous med, here!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "If I could give this a zero I would! The anesthesiologist put one behind my ear right before wheeling me off into surgery. I finally took it off 2 days later. I haven’t been able to see because my pupils are so dilated. I had trouble walking around without losing my balance. This patch also slows your digestive system making it difficult to absorb pain meds. It certainly did for me! I have been in agony since my surgery wondering why I got zero relief from my pain meds. Now I know why. I wouldn’t touch this or recommend anyone else to either."

For Motion Sickness "I have severe vertigo and meclizine and physical therapy weren't doing the trick so my doctor prescribed me the patches... (please now i'm still being sent to different specialists to treat this). I only lasted 2 days with the patch. My mouth and throat were EXTREMELY dry. To the point where it would bother me when I breathed and my teeth were starting to hurt from how dry my mouth was. I even bought dry mouth candies to suck on and it didn't do the trick. I was so fed up I took off the patch. Will be calling my doctor soon to see if there is something else I can get because I just felt terrible. My body was also feeling weak. Maybe i'll try to tough it out another day but first I would like my saliva back. My vertigo wasn't as bad but I would still get it."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "I have tried every other system on the market. I seriously mean EVERYTHING. This is the only thing that works. I scuba dive every weekend April-December in the North Atlantic. Without this it would be a miserable experience. Only drawback is a dry mouth and occasional vision blurring. "

For Motion Sickness "I used the scopolamine patch for 6 days while I was on a cruise for motion sickness. I started to experience side effects on the 4th day after I put on the 2nd patch as directed. My pupils dilated and I was dizzy. Not thinking much about the dizziness because I was on a boat, I got off the boat and of course took the patch off. The next day is when everything went downhill. My eyes were dilated, so I couldn’t see anything, and I was so dizzy I could barely stand. I went to urgent care where they gave me fluids, and an eye doctor checked my eyes for pressure. I was assured the side effects would be gone in 3 days. I ended up in the ER 4 days later with an accidental overdose and a heart rate that was through the roof. I am now 7 days after I removed the patch and am still struggling with a high heart rate, dizziness, and anxiety. It has been the worst experience I ever had with medicine. Just beware if you decide to use the scopolamine patch."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "l took this for Grand Mediterranean trip for 2 week Cruise including fly over to Europe to board the ship & back to USA I changed the Patch every 3 days switch to behind left to behind right ear. Took off Patch when l came home, was sick for 2 weeks could not eat or stand up only bathroom breaks for 3-4 days could only swallow juice or water, after that l could eat a little! Lost 10 lbs (not a good way to lose weight) Happen the same way when l travelled on the Baltic Cruise! After reading some of reviews l will cut the Patch in half & only use it for only 3 days at start of trip & leave the patch on pass the 3 days so medication would wear out"

For Nausea/Vomiting "I've tried everything under the sun for nausea. And after 6 years of pills and suppositories, I tried these and it's been 3 weeks since I've thrown up. Before trying this I was nauseous everyday and had to go to the ER every other week for severe symptoms. "

For Nausea/Vomiting "I've had a horrible experience with this patch. I had a minor back surgery and the patch was placed behind my left ear, but no instructions given. The day after surgery I tried to go for a walk, but when I stepped outside everything became extremely bright and discolored, and was disoriented. I noticed one dilated pupil. I took the patch off after having it on for 32 hours. The next day I felt incredibly weak, tired, dizzy, lightheaded, blurry vision, anxious, nervous, and a headache. I ended up going to the ER when the symptoms continued. They seemed to be clueless to all these side effects from the patch. It's day three now and I'm still having issues. I tried to take a quick walk, didn't even go a block and I felt like my legs were going to give out, and like I was going to have a panic attack. The last thing I need after back surgery is being dizzy and off balance. This medicine is dangerous. I can't believe doctors aren't more up to speed about the debilitating side effects."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "I used this for my 8 day cruise, it is the only thing that has ever worked for me. The only problem I had was when I came home and took it off, 24hrs later I had horrible side effects (headache, stomach, dizzy). Bottom line I would do it again so that I could enjoy a motion sick free cruise vacation."

Scopace (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "Have been using Scopace for the past seven years. It has worked great for my son who gets car sick. We use it when we go deep sea fishing to. There have been times when he would start to get sick, take a pill and would be fine in a few mins. I can only say it works!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "Had this with knee replacement surgery. Had horrible psychosis. Was hallucinating and paranoid and not aware of surroundings. Horrible feelings that I had no control over. Beware of using this drug. No one warned me of this as a possible side effect. Will NEVER use again."

For Motion Sickness "Took these scopolamine patches on a cruise. After about 6 hours of applying the patch I had a dry cough, dry mouth. After day 1 the cough worsened, also had body aches, confusion and nothing tasted good. By day 2 all of the above symptoms worsened. Day 3 took it off and continues to feel badly until I arrived home 5 days later. I do not recommend this patch particularly if you are older, they are quite scary."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "Second time I have used, first was for a 3 day cruise this time for 5. I was OK while wearing it but a few hours after I took it off I got dizzy and very nauseated with blurred vision. Dramamine helped some. Next day I felt awful but ran a half Marathon and ended up in urgent care because I was so nauseated after and my arms were tingling. He gave me meclazine which has helped some but its still going in 4 days later. Hoping it ends soon."

For Motion Sickness "I have battled extreme motion sickness for 29 years. After many failed attempts with Dramamine, Bonine, wrist bands, ginger candies...you name it, I decided to go to my PCP and get the patch. MIRACLE patch! I was able to ride to the top of Mt. Mitchell in N. Carolina, ride the blue ridge parkway and spend hours out in the Gulf of Mexico! There are some negative side effects, but nothing that isn't tolerable. The first time I used the patch, I left it on for three days. I had slightly blurred near vision (anything within an arms length was readable, but blurry lasted about 1.5 days after the patch was removed) and dry mouth. Nothing I couldn't handle. I definitely recommend this medication if you suffer motion sickness."

Scopace (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "Have used this on three long ocean trips. Has worked excellent/would recommend for extreme cases of sea sickness/prefer to patch application, and other less strength options that do not work in my profile."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "I have used this medication for almost a year now. After about 6 months of use the medication began to not work as well as it once did. I want to caution anyone taking this medication to be very careful about changing the patches EXACTLY when you are supposed to. I was about 8 hours late changing my patch then put it on and got into my car to go to my destination. After driving about 25 minutes on an interstate I had to pull over and began violently throwing up. This vomiting lasted until I reached my destination which took about 2 hours due to the constant pulling over to vomit. Once I could remain still and not move the vomiting stopped but the nausea did not stop until 4 hours after taking the medication. "

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "Used the patch while on a trip overseas, where I would be on a boat, and also being driven around. I get sea sick and car sick. This worked well for the most part, but had blurry vision and light sensitivity. I did have the patch fall off a few times while showering, and replaced them right away. I used this for a 14 day trip. I stopped after the area became irritated, on day 10, and the area is still slightly swollen."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "When I was in the military my boss told me about the patch for motion sickness and told me to put it on 24 hours prior to going fishing. I didn't listen to him and put it on when I left to go fishing. It was a 4 hour ride and before arriving at the charter boat I was sick as a dog. I have since found out that I drink plenty of water before putting on the patch and afterwords. Keep yourself hydrated. I will wake up feeling a little funny but I drink water as soon as I get up. This should help."

For Motion Sickness "I would absolutely NOT recommend this patch to anyone. I was prescribed it for a long trip with many bus, train, and plane rides through Europe and Asia. The doctor and pharmacist did not tell me about the possible side effects. Although it completely stopped my motion sickness, it also affected my overall functions. It dilated my pupils to the point of having to wear sunglasses at all time for two weeks of the trip. I ended up having a panic attack thinking someone drugged me in Paris as well. I finally went to a doctor and he told me to immediately stop using the patch. My symptoms eventually went away, but I missed out on a significant part of my trip. NEVER again would I take this."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "So it worked... I normally suffer from motion sickness in cars, if I'm not driving. I decided to put the patch on before a 14 hour long international flight... I didn't suffer from any motion sickness but it made me illiterate! I could see fine except for letters and numbers (or basic shapes). So I get to the airport at my destination in Uganda and going through customs I needed to fill out a basic form about the reason for my visit etc... only I couldn't read it to save my life! I'd use it again in an emergency but be aware of the potential side effects."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "I took this for a 6 hour car ride followed up by two theme parks.I strongly suggest putting the patch on the night before you leave or at least four hours ahead of time.The side effects I experienced were extremely mild. The patch made me mildly euphoric, my eyes dilated & I got a mild head ache.I am 6ft tall & 150lbs, it only worked for two days for me instead of the three. The only negative side effects I had were short term memory loss,I kept asking the same questions over and over & dry mouth. I would not drive or use this if I was going alone somewhere. I recommend keeping it on for 1 or 2 days after you need it. Until your body regains it's equilibrium. I had no withdrawal symptoms."

For Motion Sickness "Got this from the anesthetician before surgery to prevent nausea on waking. Kept it on for three days as I was travelling immediately after and am prone to motion sickness. WOW! This is how the other half lives! I could turn around from the passengers seat and help my daughter. I could look at my phone on the long ride. I could ride in the backseat of a stuffy vehicle with family in bulky winter coats. all nausea free. I didn't experience the dry mouth, although the doctor said i might, he also advised DO NOT touch it, then touch your eyes. it will dilate your eyes for DAYS, so I was careful not to. This thing is amazing!"

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "I was recently prescribed this for “motion sickness”/ light headedness while out an about, I wore two of the patches with three days in between, and apparently the scopolamine didn’t disperse fully from my body quick enough and just kept building up and it ended up sending me into a panic attack due to all of the scopolamine which after that I looked up more about scopolamine and found that it is actually one of the worlds most dangerous drugs when used in high doses, so if I could rate this 0/10 I would, I wouldn’t recommend this to my worst enemy, after that they did however put me on diazepam (Valium) which helps amazingly."

For Motion Sickness "Scopolamine is extremely effective during use, but after taking it off, I always experience a rebound where I feel nauseous and fatigued for about 24-48 hours. The dry mouth is super annoying too. But if it means I don’t get sick on airplanes or car rides, I think it’s worth it."

For Motion Sickness "I have now had two experiences taking this patch. The first time was for a three day boat excursion. I get motion sickness really bad so I had a patch for the duration of our trip and were totally fine. I was so impressed with the patch and would have sworn by it. However! I just used it again for the second time this past weekend and I have been completely miserable ever since. I took it due to a trip to Disneyland and universal studios and I wanted to be able to ride the rides. Not only did it not work, but I felt nauseas, dizzy, lightheaded and had extremely bad blurred vision by the end of the trip. My mouth got so dry I could barely swallow. It’s as if any moisture throughout my mouth and esophagus has been sucked dry. I was scared to eat because it felt like I was going to choke. I’ve had the patch off for almost 48 hours and am still bed ridden from headaches, nausea, paranoia, memory loss and just an all around mental confusion. I’m out of work and miserable."
