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?

You're technically in a short-term 'addictive' phase to scopolamine, which is a belladonna alkaloid drug in use for thousands of years. I've taken it for sailing trips, and occasionally for sleep, but it's not a very 'clean' drug, and the doctor is right-- stop taking it.

I have an old dear patient that I have known for years, who is going on a cruise soon out of Port Canaveral near my house and she wants to use the same scopolamine patch. She is going to give it a test run tomorrow and see me at 2 pm to see if it causes any changes in her eye pressure.

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.

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.

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 spent the othere day curled into a ball and crying all day. This is not me. This stuff is very dangerous and should never be prescribed to anyone. And none of the Dr.s I ask about this seem to know anything about it.How in God's name do I get off of this after being on it for 8 months!!

I have just put on another patch, but am terrified that this is not ever going to get better. I know that it is withdrawal from the scop and not inner ear or infections or others. What have others done when going through this? Do I need to tell my work that I need 3 or 4 weeks off, and just bear through this horrible situation? Someone must have better suggestions than to just grin and bear it... because it's unbearable.

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!!

There is some confusion here. What you are describing is "Myoclonic" jerking. Myo = muscle Clonic = contraction or jerk This is the large scale sudden contraction that many people with MS have in various muscle groups. This is as opposed to the little muscle twitches you can see under the skin. In myoclonic jerking some part of the body actually moves. Many normal people also have that sudden whole body jump as they fall asleep - often while dreaming of falling.

d us for years to just drop us as patients no warning no heres a thirty day supply good luck in the future just a bam your done watch your files disappear cause this is what I do to people when im done using them. Is this legal? When we all go into siezures from improper withdraweral can I hold hi, responsiable?

To cut hours and state it is due to pregnancy falls under sexual discrimination. It is not really a valid reason especially if you are still performing your job welln seems it is a plan to get away with paying less maternity leaven women are protected from this nowadays you should seek advice. This is certainly the case in the uk, so I would assume even more so in the Usa. Here they are not even meant to allow sick days count against you if pregnancy related.

Unfortunately, yes its perfectly legal. There is no law that says a doctor has to prescribe narcotics for pain. Many doctors will tell you that they don't prescribe narcotics if you call them on the phone, so that might be your issue with having trouble finding one so far.

Ok, my mom called me today really upset because of something that happened to her neighbor. The neighbor has gone to the same doctor for 5+ years for checkups and what not. Recently he has been treating her for kidney stones. She hasn't been but a couple of times in the past 2 years with the kidney stones. This past weekend, she went to see the doctor and waited forever, and even agreed to be seen by the nurse practictioner.

Somebody sent me a video and told me to watch. I had no clue what it was so of course I watched. Worse mistake of my life! It was of a lady getting an abortion and the baby was FULL TERM!!! it looked about 6 freaking pounds! Oh gosh I can't stand to think about it, the video was very very graphic ! I really want to know if this is seriously legal?!?!? I can't bare to think how it's possible to be legal I'm literally like going nuts just trying to bare. .

Excess salivation is a common problem that sometimes is a pretty stubborn problem, your doctor needs to evaluate the various possible reasons. Hypersalivation, or sialorrhea, is common in pregnancy. 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.

Only trouble is I always run out of the Lorcet and have to go through Detox every month. Is there any legal way to purchase Hydro. on line?

let them know he is threatening to steal the baby once she is born.. sorry dear! I hope everything works out.

I have Fibromyalgia, MPS, and Migraines 2 days ago we took a deep sea fishing trip now I have such bad vertigo the I am staggering around like I'm drunk . Is this a common reaction? I already have vertigo but nothing like this.

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

t remember the name but that did not work either. There is an old drug that you might want to ask your doctor about and it is called Parnate. This was the only drug out of all the drugs that I have tried that has worked for me.

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.

//imgur.com/dXfqwPe - It is actually a little off in the side, like in the picture. 3 weeks ago i was at the hospital/eye specialist for check, and the doctor told me it was still the medicine which made it dialated, and i should just wait for my next appointment which will be end january/first in feburary(!). (I have this appointment because im probably going to have a laser operation because of double vision) Is this really true? When can i then expect my pupil to be normal again?

that is why it is associated with cramping, pain, and the rumble of noise from your belly. The movement of the bowel is activated by the parasympathetic nervous system through the release of acetylcholine, so 'anitcholinergic' medications are generally constipating and slow bowel activity. The classic med is donnatal, for irritable bowel; other anticholinergic meds would include benadryl (an antihistamine, but with anticholinergic side effects) or scopolamine.
