scopolamine documentary

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 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.

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.

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!!

D-tubocurarine, scopolamine, decamethonium, resperpine. X-Ray Contrasts and Agents: Radiographic dyes, gallamine. Venoms: Snakebites, bee stings, jellyfish stings. Histamine Containing Foods: Parmesan, Blue, and Roquefort cheeses, spinach, eggplant, some red wine, tuna, mackeral, bonita, skipjack. Histamine Releasing Foods: Ethanol, egg white, crustaceans (crayfish, lobsters), chocolate, strawberries, tomatoes, citrus.

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.

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

Love that documentary, so informative, makes you realize how stupid our system is and misleading.

For those of us expecting twins I just viewed the National Geographic documentary "In the Womb, Multiples" It really explained their growth process and was informative as well as touchingly beautiful. I ordered it for my DH to view.

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.

Have any of you ladies seen the documentary? If so, what is your intake on the documentary? Did it make you think differently, and are you still sticking with your birth plan or ??? I just seen the documentary and I'm still tryna soak it all in...a little lost and confused at the moment but wanted to see what you ladies had to say.

I respect and understand that not everyone feels the way I do about the situation with the homeless. I am posting this link to a documentary done by the Calgary Police for you to view if you choose. First thing I will tell you is that at the very beginning, it shows people sleeping outside a buidling. The building is the agency I work for. The second thing I will tell you is that I know both of the folks featured in this video extremely well.

Hi Ladies, some of you might already know this, but there is a documentary being run on New York PBS channels, so you ladies that can watch it and spread the word for others to watch, here is a cut and paste of the info and link for Libby's Hope where there is a 2 minute video on the preview. Wish it was being shown all over, looks like it's going to a fabulous 30 minute show, but does look like PBS might be spreading it over the next months to come.

Go on Netflix and watch the documentary The Business of Being Born. It's about midwives c: it's pretty interesting.

So many dogs dying suddenly, often young and healthy. Weird symptoms, often no warning. This is not natural or a coincidence. What dog foods are you feeding them or preventative medications are you giving them? This stuff has very lax safety standards, not like human food and products. They can put pretty much anything they want in your pet's food. We need to all get to the bottom of this. I watched a documentary that was very eye opening.

I was kinda hoping to watch something long like a documentary?

Loved this documentary! I wish I had seen it before I had my daughter 6 years ago. I had a c section with her from fetal distress because, I believe, I chose to be induced instead of letting nature take its course. I am now 34 wks with baby #2 and am trying my hardest to attempt a Vbac but since I have gestational diabetes this time around my Dr wont let me go the full 40 wks....

I watched that documentary too. And while it makes alot of since and it helped me figure out what i don't want and won't allow im going to use some sort of pain management either it be epidural or something else. I.have an EXTREMELY low pain tollarenct and know that it will help me be able to enjoy the experience. But it solely ur choice. Im a ftm and did a ton of research b4 making my decision. Also try to keep an open mind in case things don't go as planned.
