For Motion Sickness "This was the first time I had tried the patch. I was nervous after having read some of the side effects and reviews. I had put the patch on a few hours prior to a whale watching trip. The waters were very rough and choppy. I normally would have been ill had I not used the patch. It helped my nausea from motion sickness in the car and on the boat trip. I felt tired on the one and a half hour car ride back, but that could have been from a long day with three kids too. Definitely did not affect me like Dramamine does as far as knocking me out to near unconsciousness. I was very pleased with how it managed my motion sickness. Will be sure to use again when I go on a boat. I may even try it when we go to amusement parks' rollercoasters!"

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."

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."

For Motion Sickness "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."
