Scopolamine "Awful. Wore the patch for less than 24 hours after general anesthesia. I woke up in the middle of the night with my neck and the left side of my face swollen. When I pulled the patch off, I started throwing up. I now get motion sickness in the car. It's a week later, and my neck is still swollen, and I still have motion sickness (which I never had before). It's very painful. I should have taken the patch off sooner. I am 5'2" and 130 lbs. It might have been too strong."

"So I was actually prescribed this by my OB because I was so sick during my first trimester of pregnancy. Whew-I wish I could go back in time and not get this prescription filled. I should have known from the start, honestly. I woke up the next day after putting it on, and I could not see a thing up close! Like literally, I could not read the texts on my phone. I had to borrow my friend’s reading glasses. Anyways… At the time, I told myself that this was better than throwing up all day because it did help with that. Flash-forward a few weeks later, I decided that I was feeling a bit better and that it was a good time to remove the patch. Well, the next day I found myself puking more than I had in weeks. I got online to read these reviews and thought, it must be the patch! I put on one, and within an hour, I felt better. This scared me. I ended up getting my body to wean off of it by cutting it smaller and smaller each time I replaced it. It worked!"

Scopolamine "The best thing ever, not once nauseous or sick. Wore for 4 days. Had a total hip replacement and have always been sick after all my surgeries, and not once had anyone offered me this, but my awesome Dr. Miller and his awesome nurse practitioner, Darla, took care of me like I was famous. Thank you, and the best care I have ever had."

"I've been taking it for about 6 months straight due to nausea on TPN. It really is just a motion sickness med to me though. It doesn't help me much with the TPN nausea, but it does help with being car sick. When I first started it, my symptoms were pretty extreme that I called my doctor and told him I'm not taking that again. (But after trying multiple different nausea meds, I landed back on scopolamine). I got extreme dry mouth and throat, lost my voice, could only drink liquids, and anything solid I would choke on due to dry mouth. What I assume was my lymph nodes swelled in my throat to the point you could see red dilated blood vessels under my chin, my balance was off, and I couldn't see anything within a 2-foot radius. But I kept replacing it every 3 days out of desperation to stop throwing up. Now I only get a dry mouth which varies in severity, and I can't see my phone for the first day, but by day 2 the symptoms tend to dissipate. (They might have adjusted my dosage a little, but I'm not sure)."

"I was prescribed this for surgery and was told to leave it on for another 48 hrs after leaving the hospital. I had it on for a total of 72 hrs. My vision started deteriorating the day or two after surgery. I am not blind, but had to start using readers, and my vision was excellent before surgery. My vision continues to get worse 2 years after surgery now."

Scopolamine "Went in November to have my nose put back in place as it was broken. They applied a patch to me and other meds before, during, and after, and I still got sick. Woke up the next morning with my heart skipping beats and racing. I called their center, they convinced me I'm dehydrated. As I am no longer puking, I remove the patch and drink water at the same time. Don't think anything of it. In February, I went under to get my meniscus fixed and an ACL put in my right knee. Patch goes on, into surgery I go. I wake up disoriented, with nurses and doctors yelling in my face that I have to wake up. I become slightly coherent and notice I have nurses all over my body trying to find a better IV site (had 18 pokes-very hard to find my veins) to administer drugs because my heart was in AFIB, going about 185 beats and skipping. They try several drugs, 15 more people enter the room, the cardiologist and his team are called down, and the crash cart is paged to my recovery room. They JUST managed to find a drug that took my heart down to 120-135 beats seconds before they were going to administer the paddles. Several hours later, in the hospital room (I had to stay), I managed to connect the dots and talked to the anesthesiologist. I take off the patch, and within 5-10 minutes, my heart went down from a stable minimum of 120 beats to 85. I had to receive three heart ultrasounds, two EKGs, and wear a heart monitor for two weeks under the care of the cardiologist that I had to see for a month and a half."

"My side effects are blurred vision, and I can't see close up. My vision was perfect until now, and I was never told about the side effects."

Scopolamine "While it hasn't cured my chronic nausea I've had for 40 years, it really does help other nausea medicine work better. I recommend this patch."
