"I suffer from motion sickness and was prescribed this. I've used it twice now on weekend car trips, and it works great. I didn't suffer any motion sickness symptoms. I look forward to trying it out at the amusement parks this summer, as I haven't enjoyed them in years due to motion sickness."

"This drug completely changed my experience of deep sea fishing trips and being on the boat in general. I applied the patch before bed so that it would be in full effect by the next morning. Only side effects upon waking were mild imbalance and incoordination, but this went away after eating a breakfast sandwich and coffee. I only began to feel a little sleepy/drowsy on the way home, which I believe is pretty normal for anyone exposed to that much motion at one time (the sunburn, heat, and humidity I’m sure exacerbated it). Through all of this, the patch stayed on great, but I did not swim. I’m 5’1”, 123 lb, 22-year-old female, and the dosing was fine for me. Do not cut the patch in half if you feel this to be necessary (which it may be if you are below 100 lbs like my friend who did experience side effects). Please just keep half of the backing on the patch to seal the other side, then use surgical tape from your first aid kit to make sure that it doesn't flop around."

"Have to take this when I am on cruises or would have motion sickness. 1st 5 years I took this no problem. The 6th cruise my throat closed up and could hardly swallow while eating. It dawned on me to try Prilosec. It enabled me to swallow. This has happened the last 5 years over a 5-year stretch of cruises."

"This works, but has side effects. If you suffer from motion sickness like me, this patch allows you to do all kinds of activities that you would not normally do. Read the label: dry mouth & fuzzy close-up vision after 36 hours on the patch, and motion sickness the first 48 hours after you take the patch off, are the most common side effects. I have used the patches numerous times over the past 10 years; I have been able to go on a VERY ROUGH one-week cruise, fly, boat, and scuba dive in the ocean thanks to Transderm V. I have suffered through all of the 'side effects' every time I used the patch, which were all manageable considering the activities I was able to enjoy because I was taking the patch."

"So I have used this patch for cruises, and I always have to cut the patch in half and switch ears every three days. My mouth gets very dry, even with half a patch. Although I do not get sick on the ship, which has been a blessing, the patch has left me with a dry mouth forever. I need someone to tell me what to do about it because I want to continue cruising. I don’t take any other medication. Each time I use this patch, my mouth gets dryer and never bounces back."

"I used the patch for 5 days before taking it off because it didn’t help nausea, and I was starting to get blurry vision. 2 days later, I was dealing with significantly worse nausea than I had when I was prescribed the drug, my vision was blurrier, I had a strong, painful sensitivity to light, and it felt like my eyes were burning. My doctor failed to disclose withdrawal and adverse side effects of the medication. I feared I was going blind, and I began forgetting things, feeling disoriented, and dizzy. Now it’s been a week since I stopped, and I haven’t been able to keep food down in 6 days. This may be a safe drug for most people—my reaction to this medication isn't common, but it’s an intense drug and can cause debilitating symptoms for weeks after using the patch for only days. Be sure you trust your prescribing doctor and that he or she discloses possible side effects and risk factors, because I assure you that you will prefer motion sickness over the withdrawal symptoms of this medication."

"Over the past two years, I have used the patch six times. Well, after my most recent experience, I am going to resort to Dramamine again. Like others commenting here, I had many more side effects after using the patch on both ends of my trip. Dizziness, tiredness, and vision issues. But my tipping point occurred 12 hours after applying this last patch. My three-hour flight was great. No problems. I arrived home very late, slept for three hours, and woke with the urge to pee six different times in 20 minutes. There was blood in my urine and painful cramping. THEN I remembered to remove the patch. I slept with no more symptoms and felt fine."

"Excellent, I'm a very sensitive person to motion sickness. I used them multiple times with pretty rough sea conditions without any reaction at all."

"Used occasionally for over 20 years. The best anti-nausea without a doubt. When I use it, I actually enjoy traveling."

"Excellent drug for motion sickness. However, if you take it for a long period of time and then stop taking it, you will be nauseous for at least a week."

"Never again. It worked during my cruise, however, since removing the patch, I've been suffering from dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. I cannot keep my balance. I have been out of work for 3 days."

"This patch worked great on my cruise, but I am still having side effects from the withdrawal 2 days later. The side effects are not fun."

"Works great on cruise ships, or for a day at the amusement park if you are prone to motion sickness. Put it on behind your ear the night before for best results."

"I wore this patch on a recent cruise and was so seasick that I could not enjoy myself. I also got sick on the plane ride home."
