scopolamine vs bonine

If you go to Cvs or Walgreens they have Bonine , it's safe to use while pregnant and works great. I use it everytime I fly / long car rides.

Hi Gina, It is definitely from the scopolamine. I have been on 16 cruises and everytime I have stopped the scopolamine I have the same symptoms of extreme fatigue. The first 24 hours after I stopped the medication there was no problem, but when I awoke the next day I was really out of it. I do not suffere from the nausea or headache that you have encountered. It usually subsides after about 6 weeks.

What is the best way to wean off the scopolamine patch in an elderly person? Can we use the cream instead and slowly increase the time between use?

I couldnt get out of bed to go to the dr, I called my pharmacy and she told me to try Bonine, it worked good enough for me to get to the Dr. she wrote me out a script for the same thing that is in Bonine, so I filled it, guess what? IT DIDNT DO SQUAT!! I went back to taking the over the counter Bonine, blue box amazing stuff!!!

I recently went on a a 7 day cruise and wore the scopolamine patch from the first day and changed at 3 days. A total of 2 patches. I removed the patch the day I got home within 24 hours of removal I became very ill vomiting and nauseated. This continured throughout the next day. I called the Dr. and she told me to take dramamine. I remembered I had one patch left so I applied the patch again. Within 3 hours I was feeling better and that next day began to feel better.

I am currently using a transdermal scopolamine patch for vertigo. I suffer from profound episodes of vertigo, so the doctor has prescribed me a 1.5 mg transderm patch. I only use it when the vertigo is extremely severe. My problem is this: When I apply the patch, (behind the ear, either right or left) I immmediately experience extreme anisocoria in whichever eye is nearer the patch.

I've been diagnosed with labyrinthitis and have been wearing a scopolamine patch for the past 4 weeks. I've heard to cover 1/4, then 1/2, and then 3/4 of the patch to wean off avoid withdrawal. I'm 48 hours into covering 1/4 of the patch and i have a horrible headache, dizzy, and nauseated. Any help, tips, welcome. I just want to be able to go to work and take care of my kids like a normal person again.

I told the nurse and she removed the scopolamine patch behind my left ear. I had never been given that before and have no idea why they decided to use it. I went home from the hospital with blurry vision and 2 weeks later not much has improved. Symptoms: bright light hurts eyes- must use hat and sunglasses outdoors dizzy and distorted vision when in bright light cannot drive riding in car makes me sick if my eyes stay open can only use the computer limited time approx.

Has anyone with scopolamine patch withdrawal just tried to go cold turkey and tough it out? IF so, how long did it take you to feel better?

I was put on a scopolamine patch in Sept.'10 and have been wearing it fr the last 8 months. It is pute HELL everytime I try to get off of it. The Dr.s have diagnosed me with Meniere's Disease but I can't get off the patch for them to do definitive testing. My Dr. has put me on an oral for of scopolamine but if I am even an hour or two late taking my dose I am deathly ill. And each tinme I get sick it is worse than the time beforel.

It seems clear that the meclizine taper is the way to go to get off of the transdermal scopolamine patch and I will attempt it. In this scenario, from what I've read, Zofran does not appear to be an essential part of the taper. I have also read elsewhere on the web (not only here) that lamictal together with magnesium sulfate is sometimes used to combat the withdrawal symptoms. I saw one person mentioned lamictal but rejected it as a possible solution. Here is my question.

I was wondering if you all have any tips for avoiding sickness post-surgery. Did the scopolamine patch work for you? Zofran? I would love any advice to ease my mind! Thanks so much!!

I too had a very serious head injury on Aug. 2003. Temperal lobe hemorage, 3 skull fractors and a lasseration on top of my head. After being released from the hospital I had extreme bouts with vertigo and a "buzzing" feeling when I would lower my head. I asked the neurologist about this and was told that there was possible nerve damage that would most likely heal on it's own but was given a prescription drug that is the equilvalent to OTC Bonine, sea sickness meds.

I HAD A POODLE WHO ALSO GOT CAR SICK. MY VET SAID TO GIVE HER DRAMAMINE OR BENADRYL OR BONINE. THE CHILDS DOSAGE OF BENADRLY AND DRAMAMINE WORKED GREAT FOR HER! IT ALSO HELPS THEM TO RELAX. MINE GOT DROWSY WHICH WAS GOOD SINCE SHE ALSO GOT ANXIOUS DURING THE RIDE. I, TOO, GET CAR SICK AND THAT'S THE WORST FEELING!!!!!! PLEASE TRY ONE OF THESE. I HAVE ALOT OF SYMPATHY FOR YOUR DOG. GOOD LUCK.

If an underlying cause is not found, anticholinergic medication can help, such as atropine, scopolamine, or even benadryl. The blood in your sputum is concerning, this needs to be checked by your doctor since that does not commonly accompany sialorrhea.

I went on a cruise this past weekend and decided to try the scopolamine motion sickness patch. I removed the patch after wearing it for a day and a half because I noticed my right eye had fully dilated. Its unclear if my eye was directly infected by me touching the patch and then my eye or if this was just a side effect (i don't remember touching my eye). My right eye has been dilated for four days now, each day going down a little.

Google it and see if your symptoms match - they sound like they might. Only way to fix it is ot tkae Bonine or Dramamine (or the like) for motion sickness when you feel it starting. I prefer Bonine and it works whenever I need it. So go ahead and google Vastibular Neuritis (spelling may not be quite right).

i did get to my dr yesterday and he said the same about trauma and nerve damage from all the dental work done. he told me to take BONINE for a week or two to settle everything down. hope it works!

Zofran 8 mg that dissolve and scopolamine patches the only thing that saved me.

you've been 5 days clean of xanax,don't go back,dizziness should subside,keep a journal on symptoms and write down good and bad in case you need to see Dr., that's been my worst side effect weening. i've gone from.25 3-4 times a day to 1 maybe 2,mostly 1. the dizziness is improving. if your worst side effect is that, that's a good thing, remember you did jump off pretty quickly.hang in there, your journal will give you a written record to reassure you.

Has anyone tied the scopolamine patch to alleviate depression? I have been on so many different anti-depressants for over 15 years; nothing alleviates it. I heard that many people have had relief from the patch when no other drugs seem to work, but I am scared to try it after reading the posts above. Please let me know if you have tried this patch to alleviate depression and what your results were/are. Thank you.

She prescribed scopolamine patch, did nothing. I told her my vision was getting blurry. I went to optometrist since I wear glasses, got new glasses just in case, no improvement. CT with contrast and inner ear normal. First neurologist said I have something like disembarkment syndrome but I did not disembarkment anything. She prescribed Clonazepam and a medrol pack, both of which did nothing.

To help with the nausea you can damomin or bonine they are commonly used used for sea sickness. I really works. You need to go and see an Ear,Nose and Throat Specialist. They will check your hearing and determine if you have damage and what kind. You may just need the crystals in your ear put back in place. They can do that as well. Just remember that once you get vertigo it is so easy to get it again.

Have they checked out her ears - given her anti-vert? Has she tried OTC meds like dramamine, bonine or the like (car-sickness meds, sea-sickness meds?) to see if they help? Oh boy - she needs a better doctor! Seen an ENT?

other anticholinergic meds would include benadryl (an antihistamine, but with anticholinergic side effects) or scopolamine. In that light I might try scopolamine- skin patches are sold over the counter and are placed on the skin behind the ear-- place your right over the.... that was going to be a joke, sorry-- they don't have to be on any particular area of skin, even though many people think they go behind the ear to affect motion centers there..
