Transderm-Scop (scopolamine) "Long history of post-op nausea (PONV) here. Excellent care team applied patch about an hour before surgery (along with IV Zofran) to stop the nausea. Really hoped it would help. The dizziness & blurred vision & very dry mouth made me feel worse--dying of thirst. Drank too fast post-op and had some of the worst PONV ever. CRNA said to wear it 3 days; I took it off after about 36 hours; my doctor switched me from oral promethazine (did not stay down) to meltable Zofran, which was much better. Hope it works better for others."

"I was given the Scopolamine patch for the first time before surgery as I always get horribly sick with anesthesia. I fared well after I came out of recovery and felt pretty good the first couple of days. The Doctor ad tovised leave the patch on for 3 days. Holy cow immediately after the patch came off I felt like I just got off of a carnival ride. I am a week out from surgery and I am dizzy, nauseous, agitated, weak, runny nose, body aches I feel worse than I did when I had COVID. I wish the Doctor would have warned me about side effects. I will not use this patch again."

"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 review 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!"

"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 a 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 was given to me to combat nausea from anesthesia during a routine surgery. I had the patch on for less than 24 hours and it permanently changed my vision. It's been over two months and I still have trouble reading and seeing clearly, with sensitivity to light. This should not be on the market, please avoid this medication at all costs as the benefits are not worth the permanent side effects. No doctors have been able to give me a straight answer, and I regret every single day that I ever consented to this patch."

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

Transderm-Scop (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."
