User Reviews for Transderm-Scop transdermal

The patch does NOT stick behind the ear. After reading directions, I cleaned and dried behind ear. Carefully open the package. Stick on. Then it falls off. $30 wasted. Not happy! Especially since my parotidectomy. It is prescribed to help the swelling of my face. Now I guess it’s just let it swell. Poor manufacturing for the win!

This patch was placed on me to help with expected nausea from anesthesia during hip replacement surgery. We were told to leave it on for three days. Those three days I was desperately thirsty, and nauseous, no appetite. But within hours of removing it (after the half-life expired), I felt perfectly well. I was told it’s also used for hospice patients to “dry them out”. Whoa. The most difficult part was that I drank volumes of water, because of the extreme thirst, and had to go to the bathroom frequently, even though I could barely navigate walking on my new hip. I think this is a very poor choice for a anesthesiologist to use… if it is necessary, at least, remove it as soon as adverse symptoms are experienced. Unfortunately, I was not warned of possible side effects. Read More Read Less

The side effects for this drug for me were the same as HAVING MOTION SICKNESS: dizziness, nausea, and VOMITING. I only wore it for 16 hours, and it made me sick. In 2019 I wore a patch with a different medicine on a cruise for a week with NO SIDE EFFECTS.

I used the patch for a deep sea fishing trip. I am very susceptible to motion sickness. This patch allowed me a day of fun on the water with my family without feeling nauseous. I used it 3 days in a row; water sight seeing tour and for a bush plane tour. It worked for everything. I did have loss of appetite but it was well worth it. I definitely would recommend and would use again.

I am so vulnerable to sea sickness that I literally turn green (always thought that was just an expression). I have tried both the shelf-brand motion sickness medication and the over-the-counter ones, with little to no help in eliminating my sea sickness. I was through with trying, but one of my wife's uncles begged me to come fishing with him. He suggested the Transderm-scop patch. I reluctantly agreed to give it one last shot. It worked!! I didn't feel sick AT ALL! I have brought multiple other friends out now, and we've all used the patch with stellar results. (And no side-effects, fortunately.) I LOVE this product!Read More Read Less

Works wonderful but I got the huge dilated pupil.

The withdrawal effects do not out weigh the benefits of taking this drug. Two days after removing the patch, I experienced nausea and disorientation. My pupils also became enlarged.

Put the patch on the night before travel as recommended by my doctor. Got out of bed the next morning and fell over. This drug caused me to have extreme vertigo where I could barely stand. Had a dry mouth and a blocked throat feeling and slight nausea. Took off the patch immediately and had a headache a little later on in the day. Still recovering from the above symptoms 16 hours later. Will not be taking this again.

I used this patch for 6 days while overseas. It was very helpful while it was on but after removing I experienced vertigo, blurred vision and loss of appetite. It has been 5 days since removing and I am still dizzy and not myself. Not sure if I will use this again. The after effects may not be worth it.

Doctor gave for vomiting and secretion reduction. That was early this morning. Took it off myself around 4pm. It's 4:30pm and some of the side effects are wearing off. Eye pain, hard to see. Felt dry. Mouth felt dry. Restlessness. Almost everything on the side effects page. I won't use it again.

The scopolamine patch really helped me with nausea but make sure you don’t have an allergic reaction! I got itchy spots behind my ears then after itching them it must have gotten into my eye and my eye couldn’t dilate for 2 days. I spent 7 hours in the ER before realizing the cause.

I suffer from extreme motion sickness. Patches are a godsend, especially for diving and boating. Doesn't help for amusement park rides, but oh well!

This is the only thing that has helped me with motion sickness for cruises. A little bit itchy after I removed the patch. Blurred vision for a day after wearing it almost 4 days.

Bonus, it stopped my hot flashes for a week after wearing it 36 hours because of a long car ride. Worked great. I've used it on a cruise, was great. Didn't work on snorkeling trip.

My husband was kept on this drug for two years and suffered horrible nausea, balance, vertigo, double vision, confusion, paranoia after 6 weeks and pregressivly got worse and worse. Withdrawal lasted 7-10 of insanity and horrible paranoia, confusion, rage nausea. He has been off for 4 months and is still having cyclical symptoms every 21 days. I have started a Facebook page to bring awareness. Please help me spread the word!!

Took this med to counteract nausea from Meniere's disease. Experienced full-blown psychosis including aural hallucinations, inability to sleep, visually seeing lights moving when turning my head, bizzare bx.with no memory of events,& many more...until I was arrested for 1st time in my life for terroristic threatening of a family member. Since then, have been excluded from family & friends. It took about 6 months after stopping use of transderm scop for symptoms to stop. I would caution anyone against taking this medicine.

Mental health issues; terribly sore more and excessively dry mouth

I was very wary about using this after reading the difficulties others had. I was only going on a one-day catamaran tour an couldn't afford days of side effects. I decided to use it and couldn't be more satisfied. I felt only the first twinges of motion sickness an thoroughly enjoyed the trip. I waited until just before bed to take the patch off in a attempt to avoid a rebound effect others had. I didn't have any of the side effects (dry mouth, etc) and I plan to use this again. Very, very happy with this drug. Read More Read Less

I have dry mouth, dizziness, but I don't get motion sickness

After wearing for 7 days for a cruise To prevent sea sickness ( I had worn previously 5 years ago with no problem) i have experienced crushing migraines which I have never had before. Doctors performed a CT of my head and spinal tap because the pain was so severe. I thought I was dying. I've been in pain and missed work for 5 days so far and have to believe it is withdrawal from scopolamine. Nothing has shown up medically to prove this sudden onset of ??? What the doctors are calling migraines because they don't know what else to label it. The ER physician told me he didn't know and shrugged his shoulders meanwhile it took 3 doses of dilaudid to relieve my headache ( & I never take anything more than ibuprofen for any pain ever). I can't imagine living forever with this kink of pain and just want it to end. I have never been this sick in my life. Now all I can do is lay down & take narcotics. I feel so debilitated and helpless. I will never take this again and would advise everyone to never think any drug is harmless & safe. Read More Read Less
