Common Questions and Answers about Scopolamine hydrobromide drug

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.
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?
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.
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.
Can just 10MG of Citalopram Hydrobromide cause night sweats? I've been taking that the last two mornings and during the last two nights I've had 2-3 separate night sweats each night. My back is covered with sweat and leaves a football size stain on the mattress sheet. I also take 0.5MG of Xanax right before bed each night.
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 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!!
If no relief is seen even after a week of therapy, further investigations like MRI and change of drug either to cinnarazine or scopolamine could be tried.
I accidently took too much once and it scared me to death... the Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is very dangerous and is found in most cough syrups. But like any other addiction he has to want to help himself. If you need to talk I am here... sorry I do not have any other information to help.
My doctor told me that stemetil (anti nausea drug) is quite safe to take. Take it half an hour before traveling. I survived on it while traveling in India, and their roads are really bumpy...
Citalopram hydrobromide (Celexa) is an SSRI (antidepressant) which is also used for panic disorder. It can take up to 4 weeks for this med to reach therapeutic levels. The feelings you describe ARE listed as possible side effects of this drug. If you are finding that they are unbearable or are disrupting your ADL's (activities of daily living) I would strongly suggest you speak with your doctor.

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.
s a very difficult case to treat. It is unusual as it is marked by very few remissions and has become drug resistant. On a typical day I will wake up with severe nausea, and it sometimes lessens after 3-4 hours. I can feel perfectly fine and am able to eat and drink. However, that period of time is always short lived and may only be 30 to 40 minutes. I may or may not get a period of "well time" in the evening but lately this has not been the case.
Zofran 8 mg that dissolve and scopolamine patches the only thing that saved me.
At 600mg pure dextrometorphan hydrobromide we are starting considering it quite a buzz. 600 to 1000mg over can result in 6 to 8 hours of complete dissosciation and I can tell you I already been there. We also extracted pure DXM from cold syrup containing it but that's another story.
Basically at the antitusive dose you get is so small that nothing happens but you stop coughing... chugging a whole bottle of cold syrup containing DXM might get you around the 300mg...
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.
I get remicade infused every 8 weeks, I take zofran, phenergan, Prevacid, scopolamine patch, and Benadryl. My question is what do I do? Do I go to the er? I'm miserable, week, tired, I can't take care of my kid and school has become impossible. Im nervous for the er, as they tend to no really believe me, and only focus on my Crohn's, despit knowing it is in remission. Thank you in advance for any advise.
