transderm-scop

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.

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 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.
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 I called the Dr. and she told me to take dramamine. I remembered I had one patch left so I applied the patch again. Within 3 hours I was feeling better and that next day began to feel better. I wore the patch for 3 days and then removed the patch again. Within 24 hours became violently ill again. At this time I didn't give much thought to the patch and medication content. So I called the Dr. for more patches. I then reapplied the patch and again began feeling better in a few hours.
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.
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 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 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 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 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 m tn I was on morphine SR 60mg twice a day for years and my doctor switched me to fentanyl 25 patch. I ended up with severe withdrawal and went back to the morphine for a week until my next appt where he put me on the 50 patch. Still I am going through withdrawals. My pharmacist says I can't be but I know 100% that's what is happening. Anyone else deal with this?
Avatar m tn I was on the patch also, and when I became tolerant,the dosage was rasied (in your case a 150mcg. patch should do it). When the dosage gets to high, a switch to a different opiod is warranted, and around you go!!! Good luck.
Avatar f tn And as far as your worry about addiction with the pills, I would think that you should try to stick it out with the patch...wait until you find the right dosage for you with the right BT med, and you may find that combination to be good with your pain. I find that the patch gives a more constant and level pain relief than pills, which can give peaks and valleys of relief depending on which one you take.
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.
2107861 tn?1346470646 The Oxycotin use to work well for me but now they hurt my stomach so the doctor is wanted to take me off the Oxycotin and put me on a patch when I am due for my meds again. My question is does anyone if this is the right thing to do? If anyone has ever used these patches please reply with your pros and cons and any other info you may have. Also I have a 8 year old daughter and and a 2 year old chihuahua I worry about it falling off and them touching it!!!!
3222105 tn?1346080471 Since December, I've been taperiNg down my Fentanyl patch, after about 6byears at 100 mcg every 3 days.At that point I went down to a 50mcg every 3 days. I made the move because I had recentlycome across a GREAT supplement that really did what it said, as far as really helping with my pain, called Laminine, which I use faithfully and yes! sell it for 35.95 a bottle or 3 for 107.95, NO S&H! ANYWAY, though pain levels have decreased, I've become increasingly depresseed and SO fatigued.
1360851 tn?1277581906 Right now I am at 25mcg, which my Dr told me is where he normally stops and has his patients jump off at. I told him that I was aware that there is a 12mcg patch (the smallest dosage made) and that I would rather try that one for a few more months and jump from there. As I said, you may have to have something to keep withdrawals at bay (I have percocets for break-through pain). The only real discomfort I have had is the anxiety issue which I take .
17008026 tn?1453000615 Hi! During the last six months my weight has increased from ~135 (60 kg) to almost 175 (80kg) pounds. This happens even though my general level of exercise has increased and I just eat approximately 1300-1500 calories a day. I would have asked my doctor about this but he's not very accessible at the moment, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to get an answer to this type of question.
Avatar f tn I had been taking 20 mg opana 2x day along with 30 mg Oxycodone 4x day. My pain management doctor changed my dosage this last month to 40 mg opana 2x day and 30 mg Oxycodone 3x day. I have been on opiate pain medication for about 6 years, pretty much continuously. My problem is that since the dosage change, it seems like the medication is not lasting long enough. I start getting withdrawal symptoms within 4-6 hours of taking an opana and an Oxycodone.
Avatar f tn Did you experience it when you started on the lower doses of the patch or ONLY with the higher dosage such as the 100 mcg? I hope that this has helped you some and I'm TRULY sorry that you had to quit it as I believe that there is NOTHING better for severe pain. Best of luck to you.......
Avatar f tn For me I had to increase the dosage, I think about ever three years. I am now on the 50 mg patch with meds for break through pain. I do go to a pain management doctor, and it is much better for you to talk to your doctor about the pain not being controlled. Your body becomes tolerant and increased doses are expected. I am surprised your doctor hasn't already increased the dosage after such a long time taking the same pain killer.
