scopolamine for secretions

Thanks for your input --- we ended up using the cream and slowly decreasing the amount of cream within a 24 hour period, per the Hospice nurse's suggestion. Of course the nurse was not at all concerned about weaning off Scopolamine since the patient was only on it for a couple months. I was concerned, so she agreed that we can do it with the cream if we felt safer.

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 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.

He was convinced I had a bad reaction to the scopolamine patch. He said it would take days to weeks for it to go away. He said the scopolamine affected the focusing mechanism in my eye. My blood vessels and eye nerves looked perfect, he said. He could tell my focus distance was off. My OB/GYN sent me to a neurologist. He couldn't determine what was wrong from the office exam, but ordered a MRI and bloodwork, including thyroid tests.

This was told to me via a pharmacist. For reference, I was on it for 6 mths, sometimes having 2 on, due to violent vomitting because of a pelvic mass.

My husband also had severe withdrawal from the scopolamine patch. He wore the patch for three weeks. Within 24 hours after removing the patch, he had severe nausea that didn't let up after four days. His doctors told us to wean off the patch this way: Put a band-aid over 1/4 of the patch first, after 3 days put the band-aid over 1/2 of the patch, then after the next three days cover 3/4 of the patch. It took a little over a week but it worked great!

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.

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 have also copied this down and for more information we have a Dermatology forum on MH Triggers for Mast Cell Disease Physical stimuli: Exercise, heat, skin friction, hot baths, hot drinks, cold exposure (especially swimming), sunlight, emotional stress, spicy foods.

My problem was that the condom was small for me in that it could not cover all of my penis.During the case,a lot of her secretions adhered to the root of my penis(the place my condom could not cover).So,I want to know if I can catch any STDS from this way. Many thanks!

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.

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.

Yeh, clear secretions or sticky rubbery blobs are normal, even if its a tint yellow thats fine too, unless u have itchiness or cottage cheese curds coming outlol

I havent been able to keep anything down for about 3 days now. I've been to the ER and they prescribed me pills the pills only made it worse. I've tried to eat popsicles and peppermint but nothing seems to help I'm over dehydrated and I'm helpless.. I need help from other moms who have experienced this.

The second neurologist is testing me for vitamin deficiencies Lyme DX, ANA. Just waiting for results. Thank you for reading this. It's been 4 months and I'm losing hope.

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.

Why masturbation even when gential secretions are used for lubrication is no risk? If it is because the secretions are outside the body the virus in the secretions is inactive when leave the body or it is because there isn't enough virus or both? I'm really afraid that the CSW will deliberately collect many secretions for lubrication, if it is still no risk?

ve been experiencing excess mucus (withish) in the eye when i wake up for a week now. It is so much my vision becomes blurred for a while. It started when i had a cold but i'm not sick anymore. It happens predominantly in one eye. i don't have any other symptoms except for ocasional redness that disappears along the morning. Should i see a doctor or is there no need to worry about this?

Kind of sounds a little out there, but after having sex my partner has expressed to me that my vaginal secretions taste somewhat sour. I was wondering if this is normal, and if not what it could be and how I could get rid of it?? Please help me I'm not very experienced in this sort of thing and I don't have anyone I can really talk to about it!

Since I was eight years old, my tonsils occasionally have been secreting white lumps of material. In some stressful situations, these secretions have been more copiously ejected. A pediatrician once said they were acne, but I doubt that. Both of my tonsils are well suppurated and are never sore or inflamed. I just want to know what this is and if there is anything I should do about it. It has never caused a noticeable problem except bad breath.

Zero risk,you used a condom to protect yourself and don,t require any testing either.Well done for using protection.All the best.

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..

there seems to be a confusion about nasal secretions causing hiv if you get them in the mouth or on a cut.. i always thought that like saliva they are harmless till i read this abstract... HIV SHEDDING IN NASAL SECRETIONS OF HIV-INFECTED CHILDREN WITH RHINORRHEA, BANGKOK CHUACHOOWONG R, SIMONDS R, WARANARAT N, CHOKEPHAIBULKIT K, SUTTHENT R, YOUNG N Background: HIV RNA is found in nasal/oral fluids of intrauterine HIV-infected newborns with high frequency and concentration.

i Started to touch her in the vagina (masturbation, i felt it very wet, vaginal secretions), then touch her nipples with the hand. Later (30 sec - 1 minute) i sucked the nipples for a minute or two.. Vaginal Intercourse with condom. What are the risks for std? oral gonorrhea? and the risks to transmit to other people by kissing/saliva (gonorrhea)?
