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 continued 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."

For Motion Sickness "BEWARE DRUG INTERACTIONS. This is an over-the-counter medication, however, no warning from the pharmacist in regards to taking other medications. Took for a 7-day cruise. First couple of days were okay, the 3rd day started hallucinating, dry mouth, dilated pupils. Was also taking antihistamines for allergies, the side effects are far worse than actual motion sickness. By day 5, couldn't swallow, was dehydrated, went to the cruise doctor, and had to get epi-penned. ($3,900 visit.) This was an extreme reaction, but please beware and don't give to children. Took a couple of weeks to get over the symptoms, by far the worst drug I've ever taken."

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. Twenty-four hours 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."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "I took this for a Grand Mediterranean trip for a 2-week cruise, including a flyover to Europe to board the ship and back to the USA. I changed the patch every 3 days, switching from behind the left to behind the right ear. I took off the patch when I came home and 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, I could eat a little! Lost 10 lbs (not a good way to lose weight). Happened the same way when I traveled on the Baltic cruise! After reading some of the reviews, I will cut the patch in half and only use it for 3 days at the start of the trip and leave the patch on past the 3 days so the 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 every day and had to go to the ER every other week for severe symptoms."

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."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "Have been using Scopace for the past seven years. It has worked great for my son, who gets carsick. We use it when we go deep-sea fishing, too. 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 Motion Sickness "Did it work for motion sickness? Yes. Did it rob me of my farsighted vision? Yes. Was it worth it? No! I used to have perfect farsighted vision, but as soon as an anesthesiologist put on a Scop patch before my foot surgery, I lost my close-up vision that very same day. But here's the strange thing: my close-up vision only goes blurry when I wear my glasses or contact lenses for nearsightedness. When I take off my glasses, my farsighted vision is okay. This basically means I can't wear contacts anymore because I can no longer read with them on. It's been 6 months, and no improvement. I wish I'd known about cannabis oil for motion sickness before I tried the Scop patch. Oil doesn't rob you of your permanent vision, just makes you laugh at more things. But losing your vision isn't funny!"

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "I have only used the patch for flying. I have severe chronic motion sickness. I start to get nausea while picking up my prescription for my flight. Usually, I combine a Valium or Xanax to ease the apprehension about possibly getting sick. If I don't take it early enough for my trip, it's likely that I'll vomit on the way to the airport, but after that I'm fine. Some of my problem is I self-induce my condition since I worry about it. I remove the patch as soon as I land, but I am wiped out for the rest of the day until I can sleep it off. Blurry vision lasts about a day and dry mouth about the same. Don't cut the patch in half for short trips... It will not work! I found out the hard way."

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."

Scopolamine for Motion Sickness "Have used this on three long ocean trips. Has worked excellently, would recommend for extreme cases of seasickness. Prefer to patch application and other less strong options that do not work in my profile."

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 should drink plenty of water before putting on the patch and afterwards. Keep yourself hydrated. I wake up feeling a little funny, but I drink water as soon as I get up. This should help."

For Motion Sickness "Got this from the anesthesiologist before surgery to prevent nausea on waking. Kept it on for three days as I was traveling immediately after and am prone to motion sickness. WOW! This is how the other half lives! I could turn around from the passenger 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!"

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 times 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."

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 was 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 nauseous, 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 bedridden from headaches, nausea, paranoia, memory loss, and just an all-around mental confusion. I’m out of work and miserable."

For Motion Sickness "I have used Kimite patches on 3 separate occasions. The first time I used multiple patches for 8 consecutive days with no side effects while 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 patch's maximum longevity), 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."

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, and I got a mild headache. I am 6 ft tall and 150 lbs, 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, and 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 its equilibrium. I had no withdrawal symptoms."

For Motion Sickness "Took this on a 10-hour 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 a 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 creep up on you too, didn’t realize 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."

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 5:00 pm 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 a 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."

Scopolamine for Nausea/Vomiting "2 times I have used this patch, and both times have been a nightmare. Developed vertigo and had all of the side effects, such as blurred vision, dry mouth, and serious nauseousness and vomiting for 2 weeks. 2nd time developed Bell’s palsy and vomiting and nauseousness again. Will never use again. I followed the usage instructions exactly... still recovering."

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 away after about 24 hours."

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