Common Questions and Answers about Transderm scop for vertigo
transderm-scop
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.
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.
My husband had the Transderm Scop Patch on for a total of one mo.,due to the fact that when he removed it he would have dizziness & nausea. One week ago he removed it for 48 hrs. and had vertigo & severe nausea. He then had a sudden loss of memory, went to hosp.via ambulance and spent 2 days having MRI,CT,numerous other testing and was diagnosed with Transient Global Amnesia. Fortunately memory returns in 24-48 hrs. but he still has symptoms of dizziness and headaches.
It started on a Tuesday, I saw my dr on Thursday. He said it was vertigo and sent me for a VNG Friday - no vertigo. I spent the weekend laying down because, again, I felt unstable and nauseous...though I could walk around if I had to.
On Monday they did bloodwork and started me on Antivert which thankfully helped the nausea a ton. On the Antivert I could at least move around and try to be normal.
My GP thinks I have meniere's disease. I have been wearing a TransDerm scope patch for motion sickness. It helps a little.
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.
I have been using phenergan/promethazine it's an antihistamine for nausea and itching, it made me sleepy until I got used to it. It works well for me on the nausea and I guess the itching as well as I haven't had to much of a problem with that yet.
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.
Hi thanks for the explanation. I did have severe vertigo last year and saw an ENT that said my vertigo was not an inner ear issue he suggested then it was neurological in nature but further investigation is yet to determine where my vertigo stems from.
I'm often lightheaded. But I also feel like when I'm standing doing something I feel like things are moving around me. Strange I know but it doens't happen often enough to really bother me yet.
I am a 34-year-old female. In November 2011 I had an attack of vertigo for the first time in my life. One week BEFORE the vertigo started I had a terrible sinus infection even causing fever blisters all over my mouth. When the sinus infection first started I couldnt hear well but I was on vacation in the mountains and thought that could be making the ear fullness worse. Since the attack of vertigo in November it has never really gone away.
i just need to know if anyone has had severe dizziness for a week so far.I called my dr and they told me that i had vertigo and that it can last up to 2 weeks.Is this true.I can't do anything feels like the room is moving around and naseaus too.I do want to go to er but i can't really afford to pay $172 for it if i can get some opinion maybe i will go to er or maybe it"s nothing what should i do.I get dizzy sometimes but not this severe and this long.
Why do you have vertigo? Some people have it because of inner ear problems, some because of anxiety, some because of blood sugar problems, some because they go long periods of time without eating -- without knowing why you have vertigo, it's hard for anyone to help.
ve been suffering from constant vertigo, and about all I have to show for it is that it is called vertigo. I remember the onset very clearly, it was labor day weekend of 2006, my first semester away at college, and I was climbing into bed when I felt a wave of dizziness hit me. Thinking, as sometimes has happened in the past, that I simply moved too quickly, I expected it to dissipate. However, even as I laid down, it didn't get any better.
I am now taking hydrochlorothiazide (both for moderate hight blood pressure and to lower my water levels for the inner ear), and gabapentin for a neck spine condition (unrelated to the vertigo). My PCM states I am "suspect" for Minear's Syndrome but has not made a clinical diagnosis as of yet. Bottom line is I am trying to find a way back to normal. My work requires me to get up into high places (aircraft mechanic) and this condition is keeping me from my work.
Hi there,
I get vertigo on a regular basis but, I have discussed it with my neurologist in the past and put it down to migraine. I am diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis but he does not think I have brain involvement but he did do a bit of a backflip one day and say that there was a possibility that I had a lesion in the brainstem, I thought that a lesion there could cause vertigo.
