Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn Hi there, To make a long story short, I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend from Colombia in august. 3 months later, she passed an HIV I/II test, both negative (Her result is 0.06 ...I am not quite sure, but the lab guy told her she is "totally" negative). I know she is from Colombia, and that in a way I always think their equipment is not as good, she went to a private laboratory http://www.labechavarria.com/; quite known in Colombia!
617846 tn?1231553233 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn A month ago I (male) received oral sex from a female sex worker in Colombia. I wore a condom during the whole encounter. I read that there is high prevelance of syphilis among sex workers in Colombia (unlike developed countries). Is there any risk of syphilis infection from protected oral?
Avatar f tn 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.
746917 tn?1234571359 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.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn My daughter 17 years old is with Systemic erythematous lupus 5years ago, now has hashimoto thyroiditis. The anti-thyroid and anti-microsomal AB both high. T4 free was normal. TSH was high. The doctor recommend no medicine. She has hoarse voice, nervous and hair loss the last three months. What will help for the hair loss and the hoarse voice?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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!!
Avatar m tn Hola. Escribo desde Colombia. Me enteré que soy sero-positivo hace 4 meses. Mi carga viral esta en 19.200 copias/ml Tengo temores acerca del sexo oral y oro-anal sin protección (tanto hacerlo como recibirlo). Mi pareja es sero- negativo. Tengo entendido que el riesgo con sexo oral no es tan grande si no existen lesiones en la boca. Hay alguien que me de una informacion seria y responsable al respecto?
Avatar m tn I have failed all the other antiahrrythmic. I would want to know that they have it somewhere in Colombia. Please suggest a good hospital, good English speaking cardiologist and EP, and let me know what you think about finding Fleccainade down there. Thank you.

Avatar m tn Hi, i was wondering if a 3 month hiv test is conclusive even if i took it in a third wolrd contry (colombia, south america). I had oral with a sex worker unprotected and the protectes vaginal sex. Some days after i had viral meningitis and doctors didnt really find the cause of it. I have read it is one of the symptoms of seroconversion, and i am really worried. Took the hiv test 3 months after my meningitis syptoms started and the result was negative. Do i have to restest further?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar m tn 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.
