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 n tn mo healthnet? Isn't that Mo Medicaid? If it is then you probably just need to find a doctor that accepts medicaid and I don't see why they won't pay...
543182 tn?1214188144 re are a few insurances that will take coverage for TMJ. At the time I finally went to Healthnet Insurance and they covered for tmj. I believe Bluecross and Blueshield now covers for tmj but you need to be referred by a primary physician. Healthnet is the same. What I did was find a tmj specialist who knew what primary physician (who was on the insurance carrier list) would refer me to him. And that worked for me.
Avatar n tn The problem is, that I am limited to only 12 doctors because of my Healthnet HMO. I I have tried to get info via telephone but have not had much luck? Any advice would be appreciated.
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 n tn Welcome fellow CA girl! Sorry to hear you are going through the chills and tyroid problems. I go to Healthnet HMO and sometimes have problems getting to see a dr. when I need to. How about the ER? Do you think they would do anything? I know when I have problems with my HMO, I complain online and wow do they respond! Also you can call them and complain about your situation. Perhaps they will send you to another group out of your immediate area for tx. Good luck! Glad you posted!
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 The difficulty herein lies, that she is on Med-Cal, healthnet. Firstly, I am looking for physician who has heard of this, and takes Med-Cal. She has been shuffled to doctors, dentists, and they state they have never heard of such a thing. Guess they haven't heard of the internet. The initial diagnosis was made by a dentist checking her for TMJ. It seems to me, that a learning facility/University would be interested in something like this. Can anyone recommend someone in California.
Avatar f tn t matter what heath plan others have (Blue Cross, Blue Shield, HealthNet, etc...) because each of those have a BUNCH of different plans with different benefits coverage. Do you mean you have a DEDUCTIBLE of $3000 to pay and THEN your ins covers 90%. If so, check with your healthplan if you have an out-of-pocket (OOP) maximum as well. That is the maximum amount you'll pay (usually in addition to the deductible) before your ins will start covering 100%.
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.
1981227 tn?1336328438 They (accredo) say whenever it goes to get paid from my insurance (healthnet) it gets rejected. Needed a new PA! However my current PA didn't run out till oct 2013. My Dr got involved and got a new PA and called it in. They did that two weeks ago. Both my doctor and I and now mslifelines have been calling accredo to figure it out. I have wasted so many hours now dealing with this!!! Last I heard from mslifelines that everything is sorted and accredo will call this week to arrange delivery.
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.
