For Motion Sickness "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."

For Motion Sickness "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!"

For Motion Sickness "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!"

For Motion Sickness "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!"

For Motion Sickness "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."

For Motion Sickness "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."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I was prescribed this medication to treat nausea and vomiting. The 1st day, I put the patch on as directed. For an hour after, I felt light-headed, then side effects went away. 2nd day, I noticed dryness in my throat/eyes/nose, however, I was finally able to hold down liquids but not food. 3rd day, when removed (same time I put it on), I noticed a welt where the patch was. Stopped use. 4th day, woke up to find the whites of my eyes were red, pupils dilated, painful, and blurred vision. Contacted the doctor who confirmed it was a side effect and to stop use."

For Motion Sickness "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."

For Motion Sickness "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."

For Motion Sickness "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."

For Motion Sickness "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."

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."

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 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."

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."

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 "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 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."

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 Nausea/Vomiting "I had to have surgery and have a history of nausea and vomiting, so the doctors put one of these behind my ear. It worked great! No nausea at all. Since pain pills also make me sick, I got a prescription for three patches to bring home with me. No problems so far!"

For Motion Sickness "The first time I took it for a bus ride I took my students on, it worked phenomenally! The second time I used it, I placed it on my right side and my right pupil became incredibly dilated! Even though I was very disoriented for the day, I didn't experience any motion sickness!"

For Motion Sickness "I've had terrible motion sickness, and nothing has worked until I used this medication. It worked perfectly the first few times. I took it every time I traveled in a plane. However, I've noticed the more I use the patch, the worse the side effects have become. After using the patch, I now experience extremely dry throat, eyes, nose, blurred vision, and even nausea. Although it has successfully kept me from becoming sick while traveling up until this point, I'm not sure if this effect will always hold true."

For Motion Sickness "I was glad to read different experiences with this medication, observing side effects and negative reactions. I can't look at a boat, roller coaster, or backseat of a car without immediate nausea. I've used Transderm-Scop patches on several occasions, and they worked very well with no sign of motion sickness whatsoever. My side effects were mild compared to others--typical dry mouth, slight euphoria, mild giddiness, mild drowsiness. I was careful not to drink much alcohol and to leave the patch on for a day after the expired amount of time as not to shock my system. TS can be expensive. Has anyone used the generic brand(s)?"

For Nausea/Vomiting "I had a tubal ligation and told the nurse beforehand that I was worried about the general anesthesia making me vomit, disturbing my incision. She gave me this patch behind my ear, and I didn't feel one bit of nausea after the surgery. I left it on for four days (even though it is rated for 3) just to make sure, and it worked flawlessly."

For Nausea/Vomiting "This medicine helped slightly with nausea and vomiting when many others failed. It is worn on a patch behind the ear and changed every three days. After 2 weeks, I suddenly became allergic, probably from a build-up, and broke out in huge welts where the patch was placed. I was then switched to the pill form, Scopace, with negative side effects after a period of time."
