Scopolamine "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 "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 "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 "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 "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 "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 "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 "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."

Scopolamine "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."

Scopolamine "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."

"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 "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 "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."

"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."

"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."

"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 "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 "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."

Scopolamine "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!"

"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 "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 "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 "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."

"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!"
