Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) "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, started having double/blurred vision and am extremely tired, even with 8 1/2 to 9 hours sleep. 4 days later and am still having blurred/double vision and still tired.

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) "I highly recommend it. My husband & I used it on a cruise to Alaska & the waters leaving out of Seattle got pretty rough, we literally were holding on to the walls walking down the hallway. With the bad waves the 1st day I felt a little queasy but I did not get sick. There were couples that it was their 3rd & 4th cruise to Alaska that said the waves were the worst ever & they were sick.... Should have used Transderm. I will never cruise again without it!"

Transderm-Scop (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 , its 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."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) "I was on small military ships for 5 yrs. Used Transderm Scop ALOT. By far, it's the most effective seasickness medicine that I encountered; I tried a great deal of those other medicines. With all powerful meds, however, come serious side effects. The worst is that it made me feel generally weird and depressed - I cringe when I think of putting a patch on. It gave me dry mouth and a bad after-taste. Lastly, it blurred my vision slightly. IF you time it right (put it on 4 hr before the heavy seas), you'll be seasick free. If you DON'T time it right (such as you exceed the 4 hr window b/c the heavy seas don't come rt away), you'll still have positive results, though not as effective. With it, I could concentrate and work well in any sea state."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) "Works great for motion sickness. Much more effective than Dramamine or even Bonine, which was my OTC medicine of choice until I foung 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."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) "Worked great for motion sickness on our cruise, but day 1 of using it I felt very confused and drugged. Experienced extreme dry mouth, and now 5 days after discontinuing the patch I still feel some measure of dry mouth, although not as extreme as when using the patch. I still feel some measure of disorientation as well, but that seems to be getting better each day. My stomach seems to be not quite normal as well. Probably will explore other methods of motion sickness prevention in the future. Side effects were just too strong for me."

Transderm-Scop (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 its 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 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."

Transderm-Scop (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!!"

Transderm-Scop (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 therof) with the way this medication effects the absorption of other medications through your digestive trac, 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!"

Transderm-Scop (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 again."

Transderm-Scop (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 phenergran 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."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) "I applied Transdermal-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 Dramimine in the future"

"BEWARE DRUG INTERACTIONS This is over the counter medication, however no warning from pharmacist in regards to taking other medications. Took for a 7 day cruise first couple days were ok, 3rd day started hallucinating, dry mouth, dialated pupils. Was also taking anti histamines for allergies, the side effects are far worse than actual motion sick. by day 5 couldn't swallow, was dehydrated, went to cruise doctor, and had to get epi-pen'd. ($3900 visit) This was an extreme reaction, but please beware and don't give to children. Took a couple weeks to get over the symptoms, by far the worst drug I've ever taken."

"Did it work for motion sickness? Yes. Did it rob me of my far-sighted vision? Yes. Was it worth it? No! I used to have perfect far-sighted vision, but as soon as an anaesthesiologist 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 know 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!"

"If I could give this drug a negative rating, I would. PLEASE be careful taking it. I sought the patch to use on 6-day cruise after reading that it was more effective than meclizine. Meclizine is a JOY compared to scopalamine. On patch, I was @ the ship's infirmary every day with low bp and feeling overheated (cruise was in Canada during fall - not warm weather!) Wicked, constant headache, nausea and could barely keep eyes open for entire trip. Ruined vacation. Disembarked and went straight to ER. Was completely dehydrated. ER doc informed me of documented instances of scopolamine psychosis. VERY dangerous med, here!"

"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."

Transderm-Scop (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. "

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) "l took this for Grand Mediterranean trip for 2 week Cruise including fly over to Europe to board the ship & back to USA I changed the Patch every 3 days switch to behind left to behind right ear. Took off Patch when l came home, 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 l could eat a little! Lost 10 lbs (not a good way to lose weight) Happen the same way when l travelled on the Baltic Cruise! After reading some of reviews l will cut the Patch in half & only use it for only 3 days at start of trip & leave the patch on pass the 3 days so medication would wear out"

Transderm-Scop (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, 24hrs 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."

Scopace (scopolamine) "Have been using Scopace for the past seven years. It has worked great for my son who gets car sick. We use it when we go deep sea fishing to. 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!"

"I used the scopolamine patch for 6 days while I was on a cruise for motion sickness. I started to experience side effects on the 4th day after I put on the 2nd patch as directed. My pupils dilated and I was dizzy. Not thinking much about the dizziness because I was on a boat, I got off the boat and of course took the patch off. The next day is when everything went downhill. My eyes were dilated, so I couldn’t see anything, and I was so dizzy I could barely stand. I went to urgent care where they gave me fluids, and an eye doctor checked my eyes for pressure. I was assured the side effects would be gone in 3 days. I ended up in the ER 4 days later with an accidental overdose and a heart rate that was through the roof. I am now 7 days after I removed the patch and am still struggling with a high heart rate, dizziness, and anxiety. It has been the worst experience I ever had with medicine. Just beware if you decide to use the scopolamine patch."

"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 continues 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."

Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) "Second time I have used, first was for a 3 day cruise this time for 5. I was OK while wearing it but a few hours after I took it off I got dizzy and very nauseated with blurred vision. Dramamine helped some. Next day I felt awful but ran a half Marathon and ended up in urgent care because I was so nauseated after and my arms were tingling. He gave me meclazine which has helped some but its still going in 4 days later. Hoping it ends soon."

Scopace (scopolamine) "Have used this on three long ocean trips. Has worked excellent/would recommend for extreme cases of sea sickness/prefer to patch application, and other less strength options that do not work in my profile."
