For Motion Sickness "I used the patch for a four day cruise. I put the first patch on Thursday, the day we left port, left it on for three days then removed it on Sunday and put on a new patch. I took that patch off on Monday when we hit land. The Scopalamine patch worked great while on the ship, I did not have any motion sickness. However about 8 hours after removing the patch I had starting having very blurry vision, followed my dizziness, nausea, palpitations and fatigue. Requiring two days off work because I could not drive or read close print. After 2 days symptoms resolved. I would use this patch again but for a four day cruise I would leave on the first patch for one week and let the dose gradually decrease to avoid the Scopalamine withdrawal symptoms I experienced which were quite debilitating."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I have had the scopolamine patch a few times now, but I was given them to control the nausea/vomiting after surgery. First time I had it was Jan 2014 when I had surgery. I took off the patch 3 days later and I ended up in the hospital for uncontrollable vomiting about 24hrs after the patch came off. However me nor the Drs connected it to the patch. November 2014 I had to have emergency surgery. I was given the patch again, 3 days later I took off the patch 48hrs later I was in the ER and admitted that night for uncontrollable nausea/vomiting. Saturday night they put the patch back. I took the patch off Wednesday, now I'm waiting to see what happens. Noticeable side effect, dilated pupils and blurry vision. Huge problem for me."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "The reason I'm giving it a 9 instead of 10 is because of it's side effects. Otherwise, this patch works really well for an overnight or two day fishing trip (at least in my experience). I thought I'm getting cold and feeling sick after I get off the fishing boat because my throat was getting dry and dryer and dryer. At that time I'm not aware that one of it's side effects was dry mouth/throat. Aside from that, I didn't feel anything anymore after couple of days. I'll use it again for my next fishing trip. I'll opt for a dry throat verses getting sick on the boat."

For Nausea/Vomiting "This patch gave me very scary side effects like blurred vision, extreme dizziness, paranoia and extreme numb tingling of my extremities. I wore it for less than 24 hours. Didn't even help with the post op nausea"

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "I get extremely motion sick on any kind of moving things and I was booked on a flight when weather conditions were far from good. I was nervous...so used the patch. Halfway through my trip home, my plans changed to overnight and continue on the next day. I removed the patch..washing my skin behind my ear and thinking that would be enough since I had only been wearing it maybe 5 hours or less. Next morning I put on a new patch..MISTAKE! Then to make it worse..I took a dramimine.. MISTAKE! Drug interactions were terrible. I started hallucinating on the flight and it continued through the evening. Seeing people that weren't there..etc. I had not checked to see if there were any drug interactions before I took the dramimine. I am guessing that even applying the second patch was not that smart either. Lesson learned! However, I was not sick on some extremely bumpy flights, but I was saying all kinds of crazy things and getting some very weird looks from fellow passengers....lol"

For Motion Sickness "Do not use this! Our whole party of 7 had adverse reaction. Dilated pupils, blurry vision. All around sick feeling. This is 4 days after we removed it. I took this med before without problems, this time was much different.Never again."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I was prescribed the scopolamine patch when I realized that Dramamine pills didn't work. The patch did work well, I felt minorly disoriented the first few hours of having it on, and on my flight I still felt a little nauseous but not nearly as bad as it usually is with dramamine. I surprisingly did not vomit the entire 6 hours of flying I experienced. During the flight and after, my vision was blurred for a while but I would rather have blurry vision than nausea from an airplane. I would definitely recommend his product to people who are sensitive to motion and get sick easily."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I recently had a lumbar disectomy on my L4, L5 and L5-S1. I have had terrible nausea and motion sickness after anesthesia in the past to the point of losing consciousness on my way home. I made sure to ask for something to keep me from feeling so terrible, if they could. Aside from IV medications provided, they also put the Scopolomine patch on me. It has done WONDERFUL things! I have had no nausea or motion sickness. I have been really sleepy but, other than that, I couldn't be happier! My doctor said I can take off the patch tomorrow and I will be leaving it in place until then :)"

For Motion Sickness "I've used the Scopolamine patch before for severe motion sickness without noticeable side effects. However, for my recent vacation requiring significant travel, I wore the patches for 12 days, changing every 72 hours as prescribed. The withdrawal effects have been very unpleasant - vertigo, weird heartbeat, nausea severe enough to require me to lay down until it passes. It's been five days and the symptoms are lessening and dramamine seems to help when they get bad. I don't know if I'll use the patch again or not."

For Motion Sickness "I took this for motions sickness before flying. I was instructed by my doctor to put it on the night before. When I got up the next morning, I had blurred vision, I had difficulty walking because my balance was so affected. I was extremely drowsy and I felt as if I had been drugged. I had a terrible experience with the patch."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Motion Sickness "This drug completely changed my experience of deep sea fishing trips and being on the boat in general. I applied the patch before bed so that it would be in full effect by the next morning. Only side effects upon waking were mild imbalance and incoordination, but this went away after eating a breakfast sandwich and coffee. I only began to feel a little sleepy/drowsy on the way home, which I believe is pretty normal for anyone exposed to that much motion at one time (the sunburn, heat, and humidity I’m sure exacerbated it). Through all of this, the patch stayed on great but I did not swim. I’m 5’1 123 lb 22 year old female and the dosing was fine for me. Do not cut the patch in half if you feel this to be necessary (which it may be if you are below 100 lbs like my friend who did experience side effects). Please just keep half of the backing on the patch to seal the other side, then use surgical tape from your first aide kit to make sure that it doesn't flop around."

For Motion Sickness "Went on a 7 day cruise and used the patch, as well replaced it after 3 days. Worked good for me during the cruise. Side effects were dry mouth and I just drank a lot of water. One day I was working out on the cruise and felt like I wanted to throw up. I think its not intended to be used while doing lots of physical activity. Still got to enjoy my cruise with minimal problems. After the cruise I removed the patch on land and the next day I had severe excruciating headaches. I didn't feel motion sickness but suffered a huge loss of appetite, I only could eat one piece of bread a day or else I'd throw up. I was dealing with a painful headache/migrane that couldnt subside for an entire 7 days after the cruise. Warning to all users out there"

For Nausea/Vomiting "This medication was prescribed to me for anti-nausea. It was the worst experience of my life. I had everything from dizziness to vision problems and cognitive issues. It didn’t even completely help with the motion sickness. Vision problems continued even after I stopped using this medication to the point where I had to get glasses and to this day seems to be progressing. Do not recommend."

For Nausea/Vomiting "my doctor used this right before surgery and 3 days after. I normally get so sick from general anesthesia but with this patch on I never once got that nausea feeling. It worked like a charm!!! I took it off today and got a slight headache, im guessing just slight withdrawl."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Never again!! They put the patch behind my left ear prior to hysterectomy and 5 weeks later my left eye still has double vision and ptosis (droopy eyelid). Ophthalmologist says I got a massive dose of it into my eye through my blood stream. He had never seen it last so long and impact such deep muscles. It paralyzes your eye muscles!!! When I left the hospital, my left eye was completely closed and stayed that way for over a week. Oh and I vomited on the way out, too. So angry!"

For Motion Sickness "This worked wonders for off shore sailing in our sail boat. It significantly reduced motion sickness!!! The only side effect was dry mouth. But who shouldn't be drinking more water? Especially when you live out of doors on a sail boat!"

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Nausea/Vomiting "It didn't work so well for me. I had the patch worn behind the ear for 3 days. Patch stays in place even after showering, which surprised me. Just wish it worked better. The vomiting decreased, but left me with endless dry heaves and mad hiccups."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I have a history of post operative nausea and right before having general anesthesia, the nurse put one of these patches behind my ear. She told me to leave it on for three days and that there is typically no side effects, just some slight dizziness. After surgery, I had no nausea. I removed the patch after the second day because I had read about possible withdrawal symptoms and didn't want to get them. Sure enough after about 9 hours, I woke up in the middle of the night nauseous and dry heaving. Other side effects I had was extreme dry mouth, blurred vision, and hallucinations. Nausea lasted for several days and I took Dramamine and zofran to try and fight it. It wasn't worth the benefit in my opinion."

For Motion Sickness "I applied a patch as directed approximately 12 hours before heading out on a fishing charter in Prince William Sound. As soon as the boat stopped moving and we began stationary fishing in rollers I became violently ill. I vomited consistently for 8 hours, could not maintain my balance, and experienced no respite. I've never been so sick in my life. The medication did nothing for me at all and yet I was banking on its effectiveness."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I used this patch for my surgery and I didn't get sick like I normally do after a surgery. I will use it again for sure if I have a procedure or surgery done again. It's so nice to NOT wake up vomiting!"

For Motion Sickness "Used the patch for a 2 week trip to Thailand including bumpy car/bus/ferry rides. I had no side effects at all for the first 6 days and it worked wonders! I applied the patches in the evening before going to bed, but on the 3rd patch (day 6) I applied it in the morning. I felt tired and dizzy with some strange eye dilations. realized it was probably the patch making me feel strange I removed it as the “bumpiest” parts of my trip were over. For a little less than 24 hours the dizziness and anxiety (likely from reading all these reviews) continued, and I wasn’t hungry but no vomiting or anything close to what I’ve read in other reviews. After 24 hours from removing the patch I felt completely normal. Drank LOTS of fluids throughout the day and keeping moving although I would have preferred to stay lying down. It was our last day of the trip so we continued our plans of sightseeing which helped take my mind off the side effects and I felt normal much quicker than I expected."

For Motion Sickness "The patch is extremely effective for motion sickness. I am extremely sensitive to any kind of motion but when using the patch properly I felt no motion sickness whatsoever. I took several flights, trains, and bus rides without any motion sickness whatsoever. The side affects are down right scary though. My Dr. did not tell me all of the side affects or the severity of them. My side affects include extreme dry mouth (so much so that it made eating very difficult), drowsiness, and blurred vision. My vision was so bad I could not see anything up close. I took a trip alone to Italy and when I arrived I could not even read a map. I still felt the affects of the drug several days after removing the patch (I used it for 4 days). I also experienced a sensitivity to light due to dilated pupils. I still gave it 5/10 since it is extremely effective for motion sickness."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I was given this patch after telling my doctor that many medications make me nausea and I was worried about waking up from procedure feeling sick. They put the patch on me and soon after I was wheeled into surgery. As soon as I woke up I vomited a few times. This possibly could have been prevented if given the patch earlier that right before surgery. I was told I could keep the patch on for 3 days. I took it off after 72 hours of having it on and within an hour I was a complete mess. I could barely walk and felt extremely sick. It felt as though I overdosed. It was a very scary experience. I came to discover that this medicine has a syndrome connected to it. After being frightened for several hours I did some research online. I started taking Zoloft to combat the effects of the last medicine. I felt better 24 hours later."

For Motion Sickness "I had used this patch that was meant for a 3 day cruise. Once it finally kicked in, I felt so dizzy I felt I was going to fall down. I just chalked it up to the nausea from sea sickness. I started to get sick, not able to eat or enjoy any activities on our cruise. My bf suggested it might be the patch causing the nausea, not sea sickness. I took the patch off, and it was sooo much better! I wasn’t nauseas or as dizzy anymore. I was extremely disappointed with this medication. My doctor also mentioned that if you use this medication, you could get withdrawal symptoms once you stop taking it. Glad I didn’t use it for the whole 3 days!"

For Motion Sickness "I put the patch on the night before a planned mountain excursion. The morning I woke up, my vision was extremely blurry (couldn't read), I had severely compromised mobility (stumbling and tripping), decreased ability to comprehend what was being said to me, as well as very dry mouth. I also began hallucinating, so I took the patch off. Within 1 hour I started to feel a little more in control, and after 10 hours the side effects seemed to be gone. I had the patch on for a total of 8 hours, and felt like the patch was WAY too strong - to the point of overdose. I made sure to wash my hands after putting on the patch. I also take ortho-tri cyclin lo, propranolol 60mg for migraines, and Zyrtec."
