For Motion Sickness "I used this drug for the first time almost a year ago while traveling from the US to Spain and back again. It was wonderful, and I had no vertigo or motion sickness. No side effects. I used it again (2 patches) within the last week and have had severe blurry vision for things close up, to where I can’t see what’s on my phone screen or read off of paper. I have also had really bad dry mouth. While it works well for me for the intended use, the blurred vision is very bad, and I will not use the patch again."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "I highly recommend it. My husband and I used it on a cruise to Alaska, and the waters leaving out of Seattle got pretty rough, we literally were holding on to the walls walking down the hallway. With the bad waves the first day, I felt a little queasy, but I did not get sick. There were couples that it was their third and fourth cruise to Alaska that said the waves were the worst ever, and they were sick. Should have used Transderm. I will never cruise again without it!"

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "I was on small military ships for 5 years. Used Transderm Scop a lot. By far, it's the most effective seasickness medicine that I encountered; I tried a great deal of those other medicines. With all powerful meds, however, come serious side effects. The worst is that it made me feel generally weird and depressed - I cringe when I think of putting a patch on. It gave me dry mouth and a bad aftertaste. Lastly, it blurred my vision slightly. If you time it right (put it on 4 hours before the heavy seas), you'll be seasick-free. If you don't time it right (such as you exceed the 4-hour window because the heavy seas don't come right away), you'll still have positive results, though not as effective. With it, I could concentrate and work well in any sea state."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "Worked great for motion sickness on our cruise, but day 1 of using it I felt very confused and drugged. Experienced extreme dry mouth, and now, 5 days after discontinuing the patch, I still feel some measure of dry mouth, although not as extreme as when using the patch. I still feel some measure of disorientation as well, but that seems to be getting better each day. My stomach seems to be not quite normal as well. Probably will explore other methods of motion sickness prevention in the future. Side effects were just too strong for me."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "Used it on my 7-day cruise. Worked wonderfully during the cruise. No side effects and no nausea, even with 12 to 18-foot seas. About a day after I took the patch off, I started having double/blurred vision and am extremely tired, even with 8 1/2 to 9 hours of sleep. Four days later and am still having blurred/double vision and still tired."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "Works great for motion sickness. Much more effective than Dramamine or even Bonine, which was my OTC medicine of choice until I found Transderm-Scop. I was in huge seas in the N. Pacific fishing and never felt a thing and felt 100% motion sickness proof. It does have some minor side effects for me like dry mouth and tiredness, but you'll need to take a nap after getting back to port. All in all, good though, much better than the horrible blood pressure meds that made me dizzy all the time."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "I get extreme motion sickness. Cannot even drive without making myself sick on occasion while I am driving. So you can imagine when we go to Disneyland with the kids, I end up waiting for my kids to ride the rides. Until I was given a prescription for Transderm-Scop. This stuff works. I've been deep-sea fishing, Universal Studios in Orlando to their roller coaster park, sailing and everything that normally I couldn't participate in doing with my kids and family. This definitely works. Changed my life, and now I am able to experience all the fun with kids face-to-face - side by side."

Scopolamine for Nausea/Vomiting "I had been suffering extreme nausea and vomiting from vertigo. A friend of mine highly recommended this patch. I got one over the counter at the pharmacy. Put it in before bed, and when I woke up, my vision was so blurred that I couldn’t even read the time on my phone or stove. I couldn’t text, see the TV guide, or anything. Luckily, I had Siri on my iPhone activated, and she assisted me in calling for help. I unfortunately didn’t gain my full vision back until 36 hours later. One of the worst experiences I have been through, and I am not one to ever interact with anything. Will never take this again."

For Nausea/Vomiting "If 0 was an option, I’d give it that score. I got this patch put behind my ear before surgery, and it helped my nausea and vomiting upon waking up from anesthesia. After I had taken it off 72 hours later, my pupils were extremely dilated, and I could not see at all since my vision was so blurry. The vertigo sensation is terrible, as it feels like I’m rocking back and forth on a boat. The nausea is terrible now too! I wasn’t told of any of these side effects and would have never had this put on if I knew! I told my doctor about it a day after removing the first patch (because I didn’t know my symptoms were from withdrawal), and he prescribed ANOTHER patch for me to take! Out of confusion on what was wrong with me and being so sick from my symptoms, I wore another patch for another 3 days! My lesson is being learned the hard way. Hoping I’ll get better and back to normal sooner than later. All of these terrible withdrawal symptoms are NOT worth wearing that patch! Never again!!"

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "My daughter had a tonsillectomy two weeks ago. She was still nauseous after taking the patch off, after three days. Not knowing it was the patch making her feel like she was going to throw up and feeling like a zombie, I called the doctor and he sent a prescription which had four patches. She used three of the patches, and now she is feeling nauseous, motion sickness, and not herself at all."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "I have used them on each of my previous four cruises. I am going to use one Sunday for my wedding cruise because they work so well. I had suffered with motion sickness since my childhood, and these things really work!"

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "This medicine turned me into a complete idiot! Due to the dilated pupils, you could throw reading and depth perception out the window for the three days this drug was in my system. Stairs and elevator buttons were a real source of entertainment for the rest of our party 'helping me' lol. Due to a possible conflicting drug interaction (or lack thereof) with the way this medication affects the absorption of other medications through your digestive tract, my ADD medicine either didn't work at all, or a possible interaction of the two made my short-term memory nonexistent! I would literally ask a question and ask it again in less than 5 minutes. Really scary stuff, didn't even feel comfortable driving back home after getting off our cruise!"

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "The first few times I used the patch, I thought it was a godsend. However, this last time I used it on a 6-hour flight, I began to have blurred vision, extreme dry mouth. The scariest side effect was hallucinations. I did not know who I was or where I was. Thank goodness I was not traveling alone. Dangerous. Will never use again!"

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "Used the patch for my first cruise as I normally suffer from motion sickness. I only got dry mouth and blurred vision, but most people think this is from the patch when in fact it's from your fingers after you have touched it or placed it. You must always wash your hands, as people do tend to scratch or touch their eyes and the medication is transferred. That was far more than a side effect via the application. I would never go on a cruise without it. Works a treat and can easily last for 4 days. I would highly recommend it."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "I have severe motion sickness with nausea and vomiting... room spinning... vertigo. I put the patch on 4 hours before my flight and cruise, it works excellent for me without the drowsiness, blurred vision, and dry mouth. It works differently on different people, but you won't know until you try it."

For Parkinsonian Tremor "Since I am 90 years old, I do not qualify for this medication as 65 years old is the oldest. However, since I am on hospice, I assume anything goes. I took the 1 mg patch for relief from Parkinson's drool, which it cured in 12 hours. However, it unfortunately caused my magic BM aid I was taking to not work, so I was then given a white powder to mix with water for having BMs, which was also rendered not to work. So, after 7 days and no BMs, it becomes scary. However, since it had been 2-3 days since I stopped taking the patch, everything blew up; I had the BMs big time. Plus, I became nauseous and threw up big time, even my complete dinner that I had consumed 6 hours ago. This was all repeated two times, after which I then read all about it online, but in my case, too late. So perhaps if one took the white powder/JODY more often, it may be worth it; otherwise, the nausea becomes unbearable. And all the bad stuff will happen 24 hours after once one stops taking or withdraws from the patch."

Scopolamine for Nausea/Vomiting "I was prescribed this medication to treat nausea and vomiting. The 1st day, I put the patch on as directed. For an hour after, I felt light-headed, then side effects went away. 2nd day, I noticed dryness in my throat/eyes/nose, however, I was finally able to hold down liquids but not food. 3rd day, when removed (same time I put it on), I noticed a welt where the patch was. Stopped use. 4th day, woke up to find the whites of my eyes were red, pupils dilated, painful, and blurred vision. Contacted the doctor who confirmed it was a side effect and to stop use."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "I have suffered from motion sickness my entire life on boats, in cars, and on amusement rides. I have used OTC medicines like Dramamine, but the side effect of sleepiness was so overpowering, I couldn't even enjoy the activity. I recently heard of this wonder drug called Transderm and, after reading reviews and speaking to a pharmacist, I decided to put it to the test at Tampa Bay Busch Gardens. WOW!!!!! I had the best time ever. I rode every ride, and only one of them made me feel a LITTLE dizzy and nauseous during and briefly after. I did feel a bit drowsy as well for about five minutes, but this was minor. The dry mouth was probably the biggest side effect I experienced. Overall, it was a success, and I would use it again."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I was given the scopolamine patch prior to surgery to preemptively treat nausea and vomiting from the anesthesia and pain relievers. When I woke up from surgery, I experienced double vision in the middle and far distance range, and completely blurred vision in the near distance. I was unable to make out words up close, despite the fact that I've always had 20/20 vision or better. I was told that the effects would wear off in a few days, and my vision did improve somewhat, but never back to 100%. It has been about two months, and I now have to wear reading glasses, probably permanently. I would caution anyone against taking this drug. I certainly would have preferred a few days of nausea and vomiting over having to wear glasses for the rest of my life."

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’m so glad I got worried and decided to always look up whatever is being put into my body. I had the patch on for a couple of hours before I took it off and then tried it on again 1 hour after taking it off. I called my pharmacy and complained of racing heart and not really being able to see. So they advised that I take it off and keep it off. I took it off and my memory went to crap a couple of hours later with some dizziness and difficulties reading. I don’t know what’s going to happen to me now, but I hope my withdrawals will be nonexistent or only a week at the most. This is why I just never trust anyone automatically, and you shouldn’t either. Reading all these stories makes me feel VERY lucky that I took it off after about 4 hours of having it on."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "I applied Transderm-Scop in the middle of the night anticipating a fishing trip in the AM. When I awoke in the morn, I was all sorts of dizzy, staggering, dry mouth, and generally screwed up. Needless to say, I did not fish. Instead, I will use Bonine or Dramamine in the future."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "Used this for an Alaskan cruise (over a 10-day period). It worked great for the cruise. I normally get extremely motion sick, but I maybe just had a slight sick sensation a couple of times during the whole trip. However, after I got home, a few hours after I removed the last patch, I became very nauseated. I ended up missing 3 days of work due to very bad nausea. I got some Phenergan from my doctor that helped to relieve it. I'm not sure how long the nausea would have lasted without it. Probably won't use the patch again."

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."

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."
