Avatar f tn I am in need of finding a better treatment for all this nausea (side effect of the triple treatment for my Hep C) and was wondering if any of you have tried the Transderm-Scop patches that you wear for 72 hours. Have tried Zofran and all it gave me was enormous headaches, now using the Phenegran but needed it every 4 hours like clockwork.....ANY opinions and information will be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn I have tried antivert, valium, and the Transderm Scop patch to treat it. The patch helped for a while, but in the past few days seems to have stopped working. Also in the last few days I have had upset stomach, gas, and mild diarrhea. I have been drinking pedialite and gatorade to treat dehydration if that's what it is/prevent dehydration. I am completely at my wits end - I can't work or drive or function or do anything but lie down and not move my head or focus on anything.

Avatar n tn My wife has had the same symptoms as you after using the Transderm-Scop patch on a 7 day cruise that ended Jan. 20. The symptoms started just over 24 hours after she took the patch off. The first week was Hell; she couldn't even stand up straight because of the dizziness, the nausea was terrible, her vision was so blurred she couldn't see plus she had the worst headache of her life.
Avatar f tn He sent me for a hearing test, which was normal. Then he took me off Antivert and had me try transderm-scop patches but I had an allergic reaction to it. So now I'm on Valium and Compazine. I would say those medications help about 50% of the way. I don't feel as dizzy, but if I'm up and about too long I eventually need to lay down. The nausea is mostly gone as long as I keep with the compazine.
Avatar f tn Has anyone that has gastricparesis tried Zelnorm? It was working for me and than they took it off the market. My doctor just suggested a drug from Canada named domperidone. Does anyone have any experience with this drug. I tried Reglan and couldn't handle the side affects. Erithamyacin made me break out in a rash. Right now I depend on Zofran for the throwing up and sometimes it doesn't help.
Avatar f tn I've actually been wondering for quite a while if thyroid meds could be delivered via "transderm patch", like they do with motion sickness meds, birth control hormones, etc. Yes, they would be especially great for delivering a continuous dose of T3, but they would have their uses for T4 also. For one, they would bypass the gut and all the interections with food and problems with absorbtion. I actually emailed the question to Abbott a while back.
1903798 tn?1333905288 I was really sick to my stomach the morning I was to fly home so I asked for NS to call in a sticker and I have been fine since (3 days now). I am just wondering if those with nausea problems have tried transderm scopolamine 1.5 mg dis. I think I am going to talk to my PCP about it tomorrow it says it is a anticholinergic agent used for preventing nausea and vomiting associted with motion sickness and recovery from anesthesia and surgery.
617846 tn?1231553233 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. While I am curious about this, mostly because it is not listed under side/adverse effects,it is not my priority concern.
Avatar n tn 25mg pills they will have to step you down slowly or risk seizure a good phyic doctor can do this for you this will take some time even if its just 1 bar mabe a mo but longer if it is muti bars a day leve this one to the professionals this is beyond the scop of a home detox good luck and God bless......
Avatar f tn He is 9 yrs old and is autistic. He has excessive drooling, we have tried ot, his diet. reminders to swallow, transderm patches, ect....... I am now looking into surgery to cauterize the glands and I was also informed there are botox shots that nay help, It does not bother me, but its starting to effect him, and his teachers are pushing me to have something done, becuuae i think it just annoys them, that they have to change his Bandanna he wears around his neck to catch the drool.
Avatar m tn Tomorrow I will be doing my 3rd shot and have struggled with the nausea and vomiting. I'm on Zofran and Transderm-Scop patch - which is the patch behind the ear that lasts for 72 hours. Between the two, I have it under control, although I can definitely tell when both of them are due. I've tried to stop both of them independently, but as soon as I do, I'm back to square one. Hope this help.
Avatar f tn I seen my Mom go through this pain,patches such as transderm,fetanyl,or ms contin (morphine extended release)every twelve hours with say percoset every 6 hours for breakthrough pain(as needed) is best and not to sedating.The patches are best for the constipation,wich I'm sure you'll have.Wobenzyme is supposed to be good for that.I don't want you to be in pain .Run these suggestions by your oncologist.A stool softener in senokot for constipation is a must.
Avatar m tn They used to help about 60% of the time but now I have break through nausea sometimes even when I have taken them both. Transderm scope seems to help occasionally to but I have a site reaction to the adhesive in the patch. I have radically changed my diet and lifestyle to try to help my body heal. I've spent thousands on "natural healing products and specialist." I am at my wits end. No one seem to have any answers. My quality of life is severely impacted by this.
Avatar n tn I contacted a professor who did long-term scop use and he said no one has ever been on it as along as me. he anticipates a very long road. once done with the outpatient aspect (meclazine valium and zofran and weekly fluids) I will continue to have episodes monthly for awhile. this drug enters the brain barrier.
Avatar m tn Case study, there is a 58 year old female at the clinic for follow up angina appointment. Last visit she was started on NTG transderm 0.4 mg/hr every 24 and sublingual NTG 0.4 mg PRN. Durign her first week of therapy, her weekly angina episodes decreased from 4 to 1 per week. After three weeks her episodes returned to 4 weekly. All occurred with activity and were relieved by rest and sublingual nitro. Her daily medications include Digoxin 0.
Avatar m tn My GP thinks I have meniere's disease. I have been wearing a TransDerm scope patch for motion sickness. It helps a little.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am addicted to the fentany transderm patch and am trying to get off of it. I didn't know I was hooked until I tried to stop using it. I was struck by a vehicle while walking home about a year ago and had a titanium implant over my right clavivcle. The scews to it came loose, but it was left in for months before they decided to put in a new one. So my pain has been on-going. I wasn't told how addictive this patch is. I am now on the patch plus oxycodone.
Avatar m tn It can happen rather quickly depending on the form of magnesium you take (pill, oil, cream, transderm, bath flakes). Only a small percentage of mag. is absorbed into the body and the rest is excreted through the stools. In addition, other things factor into it's how it works, such as other medications you take, if you have any kidney disease, if you drink alcohol or soda, other foods you eat...all of these can reverse or slow down the effects of how the magnesium works.
4128244 tn?1350073611 I just found this, which I thought was kind of interesting in light of your transderm patch (thyrotropin=TSH): "Estrogens may increase serum thyrotropin concentration, which could... increase dosage requirements in patients with hypothyroidism receiving thyroxine for replacement therapy. Estrogens are known to increase serum thyroid-binding globulin concentration in a dose-dependent manner.
Avatar f tn Thank you both for your comments. =) My daughter leaves for camp tomorrow for 1 week, so I have spent most of my day getting her packed up, as well as getting myself and the house ready for my surgery. I have read through a lot of the posts on here (thanks MarieMichele) and do feel a little better about the surgery. Its just hard for me not knowing which way the surgery is going to go. I am preparing myself for laparatomy, but am hoping for laprascopic.
315 tn?1230998574 I've talked to you a few times,noooo hospice that means all life saving measures are stopped and comfort control is what they concentrate on .Ask about liquid morphine,can be taken quite often and Dilaudid pills for breakthrough pain.I know i.v. Dilaudid,theirs nothing better.Once pain gets to a certain point its harder to get under control.Fentanyl patch and transderm patch,ask about those,too!! I'm so sorry.I sware if you lived close I would take such good care of you.
