Scopace (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "This medicine works very well when taking a boat out to go scuba diving. The tablet advantage allows a diver to see if the charter is going out before taking it. With the patch you have to put it on at noon for a 5:00pm charter."

For Motion Sickness "My husband and I used these scopolamine patches for a 6 day cruise. They worked great for him (and he usually gets terrible motion sickness), but I experienced awful side effects. I was dizzy all the time (I almost fell down the stairs it was so bad), had cotton mouth really bad, and my pupils were extremely dilated. As a result, I was super light sensitive and couldn't read anything. I took the patch off after 24 hours, and it took another 12-16 hours for the blurred vision to subside. I still felt dizzy for another 24 hours or so. Fortunately, I didn't get seasick on the cruise, and neither did my husband, so I guess they work. I just don't think I'll try them again. The side effects were not worth it to me!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "A week ago I had gallbladder surgery. My 1st surgery in 66 years. I didn't want to wake up sick, so my surgeon suggested scopolamine patch. I also took emend and zofran in the IV. I read horror stories before the surgery and after. Thank God I felt perfectly fine when I awoke and days later. I wore the patch for 68 hrs. On the 2nd day, Tues, I could hardly pee and it burned. This went away by Wed. afternoon. The morning the patch was removed, I had warm tingling under the skin of my right arm, blurred vision that came on Tues night, left by Thurs, back on Friday afternoon, by Friday night it was gone again. I had a 'less common' side effect from Mon night till last night which was the entire bottom of my left foot (same side as the patch) was numb, felt like neuropathy. This was gone late last night, Saturday. From Tues till Thurs I was a little lightheaded and wasn't walking too good, along with confusion,"

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "I was glad to read different experiences with this medication, observing side affects and negative reactions. I can't look at a boat, roller coaster, or backseat of a car without immediate nausea. I've used Transderm Scop patches on several occasions and they worked very well with no sign of motion sickness whatsoever. My side affects were mild compared to others--typical dry mouth, slight euphoria, mild giddiness, mild drowsiness. I was careful not to drink much alcohol and to leave the patch on for a day after the expired amount of time as not to shock my system. TS can be expensive. Has anyone used the generic brand(s)?"

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I had to have surgery and have a history of nausea and vomiting so the Dr's put one of these behind my ear. It worked great! No nausea at all. Since pain pills also make me sick I got a prescription for 3 patches to bring home with me. No problems so far!"

For Motion Sickness "I used it as directed for my 14 hour flight. When it kicked in, I Felt drowsy, 3 hours before landing, I started vomiting, total 3 times until I landed. Tried it again on the return flight, extreme drowsiness which caused severe nausea for 12 hours."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "I have used the patches for years after my first cruise without one. It is the ONLY thing that keeps motion or sea sickness at bay for me. My only complaint is the dry mouth while using it. My dry mouth goes way after about 24 hours."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Nausea/Vomiting "My Dr. Prescribed this Transderm patch prior to an outpatient procedure. I was very careful and followed the instructions making sure to wash my hands before and after placing the patch behind my ear. Only to wake up 10 hours later feeling so dizzy and nauseous. Worst of all was my vision. When I arrived at the hospital My vision was so blurry I couldn't even read the paperwork I was signing, couldn't see the time on my cell phone or read any messages. My pupils were very dialated, this lasted for 2 days. I'm on day 3 and my vision is back to normal, but upon doing to much I'm still dizzy and nauseous. I always read thoroughly before I take anything. So I know I did NOT get this in my eyes by not doing as directed. Scary stuff!!"

For Motion Sickness "I had a patch prescribed before going on a several hours’ long boat trip. Within a minute after sticking the patch behind my ear, there was an immediate feeling of a ‘rush’ from the patch location - an odd and unfamiliar sensation. My body reacted by fainting. Someone removed the patch from me and I then took several hours to feel better from having fainted. Strong stuff!"

• Kimit...
• September 3, 2014

For Motion Sickness "I have used Kimite patches on 3 separate occasions. The first I used multiple patches for 8 consecutive days with no side effects whilst wearing the patch however, for the week following removal, I experienced dizziness and headaches. On the second and third occasions I only used one patch for a duration of 3 days each time (which is a patchs maximum longetivity) and I had no side effects. I still rate this medication highly as without my Kimite I wouldn't be able to travel long distances due to the severity of my motion sickness."

For Motion Sickness "I was going on a trip to France and was proscribed the scopolamine patch for motion sickness. I have Meniere's disease that makes any travel difficult. When traveling I usually take large doses of meclizine, which controls the nausea but I end up either sleeping or barely functioning. The patch was a miracle! I was not only able to take several flights but also fully enjoy riding in a car in France, Italy and Switzerland through the Alps! The only thing I wish I had known about is the debilitating withdrawal that I discovered when I attempted to go back to work the day after removing the patch. I am on day 4 of only being able to stand for minutes at a time before feeling like I am going to either throw up or pass out. I am on meclizine and hoping it passes soon. I wouldn't change using the patch knowing what I do now but I would have managed my schedule to allow some recovery time. It was the trip of a lifetime."

For Motion Sickness "Went on an ice breaker boat in the Arctic for 10 days was on occasion very rough but the patch worked so well. The only side effect was a dry mouth, other than that it was great. Would definitely use again"

For Motion Sickness "Used 2 patches for a 6 day cruise. Worked well for motion sickness. After being removed for 12 hours or so, I didn’t feel quite right. BP was up, sleepy, headache, etc. But nothing debilitating. I would use again."

For Nausea/Vomiting "After using the scopolamine patch as directed for post-operative nausea, I removed the patch after 72 hours. Within 24 hours of removal, I got severe shakes, intense nausea and vertigo, and severe dizziness to the point where I am unable to stand. I told my surgeon about these symptoms and was advised to go the an emergency room. The risks of this drug do NOT outweigh the benefits."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "I've had terrible motion sickness, and nothing has worked until I used this medication. It worked PERFECT the first few times. I took it everytime I traveled in a plane. However, I've noticed the more I use the patch, the worse the side effects have become. After using the patch, I now experience extremely dry throat/eyes/nose, blurred vision, and even nausea. Although it has successfully kept me from becoming sick while traveling up until this point, I'm not sure if this effect will always hold true."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "I took a cruise on Doubtful Sound in New Zealand. The cruise down and back up the Sound was fine, and I probably didn't need any kind of motion sickness medication for that. But they went out into the Tasman Sea for about 1/2 hour. It was a beautiful, sunny autumn day, but it became clear within 3-4 minutes that the Transderm-Scop was not working at all in open ocean waters...which is where I really needed this to work. I used this med successfully many years ago, so it makes me think something has changed. Disappointing!"

For Motion Sickness "Took this on a 10 hours cruise as I suffer from pretty bad motion sickness. I experienced zero seasickness but the drug itself really messed me up. Extreme double vision, where I could not read letters, light refraction on certain light sources and just generally doughy feeling in my body and brain, dry mouth and nose. I felt like an invalid for the last 24 hours, and even today I still feel a little off (though my vision is slowly improving). The symptoms creed up on you too, didn’t realise I was messed up until I was off the ship. Shocked, this is sold over the counter, it’s very easy to overdose and the side effects are awful."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Nausea/Vomiting "This medicine helped slightly with nausea and vomiting when many others failed. It is worn on a patch behind the ear and changed every three days. After 2 weeks I suddenly became allergic, probably from a build-up, and broke out in huge welts where the patch was placed. I was then switched to the pill form, Scopace, with negative side effects after a period of time."

For Motion Sickness "It had taken me over 50 years to find something that is effective for motion sickness so I'm an enormous fan of Scopolamine. I'd tried Stugeron, Dramamine, Avomine & Valloids but none of them seemed to work. After research on the web, I persuaded my GP to prescribe Scoploamine for our last trip to Africa & it worked. This weekend I used it to control the nausea of labrynthitis. The only side effect seems to be a dry mouth."

For Motion Sickness "I have used these patches for several years for 1 - 2 cruises per year. I get sea sick just looking at a boat, but these patches allow me to have a comfortable trip. I have used these for 4 - 10 day trips with mild side effects of a very dry mouth, fatigue and poor up close vision - I'm willing to deal with these side effects in order to enjoy trips to Alaska, the Caribbean and New Zealand. Without this I could not go. The scopace pills make me so sleepy I cannot stay awake at all. Dramamine does nothing to alleviate my symptoms."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "The first time I took it for a bus ride I took my students on, it worked phenomenally! The second time I used it, I placed it on my right side and my right pupil became incredibly dilated! Even though I was very disoriented for the day, I didn't experience any motion sickness!"

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Nausea/Vomiting "Awful. Wore the patch for less than 24 hrsafter general anesthesia. I woke up in the middle of the night with my neck and the left side of my face swollen. When I pulled the patch off I started throwing up. I now get motion sickness in the car. It's a week later and my neck is still swollen and I still have motion sickness ( which I never had before). Its very painful. I should have taken the patch off sooner. I am 5-2" and 130lbs. It might have been too strong."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Had surgery and they had me put this on to minimize secretions and for nausea. It worked amazing while it was on as I was taking pain meds and went under general anesthesia. I was suffering from very bad vision though and it was quite alarming how I couldn't even read simple things. The day I took it off I threw up multiple times and had EXTREME nausea and dizziness. For two days straight I slept all day and night because it was too miserable to be awake. It took a good three or more days for me to not feel nauseous anymore. My mom also experienced a similar rebound effect. It works good for while you're on it but be careful because some people get these adverse effects like me!"

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I had a tubal ligation and told the nurse beforehand that I was worried about the general anesthesia making me vomit, disturbing my incision. She gave me this patch behind my ear, and I didn't feel one bit of nausea after the surgery. I left it on for four days (even though it is rated for 3) just to make sure, and it worked flawlessly."
