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.
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.

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.
In the first half of my comment, I would like to throw some light on the Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) issue raised here...! (By the way, I do not think you should worry about it in your case.)
I know you have read a lot about TD already. (I read your comments in a separate post).
Traditionally, TD is known to be caused by typical antypsychotic medicines, such as Chlordiazepoxide, Haloperidol and Trifluoperazine. We'll not discuss how these medicines produce TD.
Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Td, Tdap) Vaccine Schedule
How it is given: As a single injection that offers protection against all three diseases.
How often/when to get it: One-time Tdap vaccination followed by Td booster every 10 years.
Who should get it? Adults up to age 64 who have not previously had a Tdap vaccination in place of Td and adults age 65 and older who have not previously received Tdap and have or anticipate having close contact with an infant less than 12 months of age.
I got off of it because I experience extrapyramidal symptoms which I believe shows I may be more at risk for developing TD though my Dr has told me it is very rare to get TD on the atypical antipsychotics.
Another Dr has now put me on Trazadone for sleep, 100 mg. I read there is a potential for TD on this med too but there I also know there is potential on SSRIs like Celexa/Lexapro which I have been on for 20 years with no problems and not concerned about TD on SSRIs.
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.
My last tetanus (Td) shot was in 2007 (9 years ago). I asked my doctor if I can have my booster shot now before I lose my health insurance in a few weeks. He told me that since I wasn't due for a booster until next year that I would have to wait (and therefore pay for it out of pocket).
Is there really a danger in getting a booster a few months early, or is he just being a jerk?
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.
it might be TD i might have it also my mouth shakes alot and i am on geodon 80mg x2 a day.
It always fun to find out what you are having and that if baby wants you to know, but finding out is not always accurate. My sister was td at 20 week she was having a girl but when she delievered with was a boy. Im sure not matter what you have you will be happy and the names you picked out are beautiful!!!
I have to get a Td or Tdap booster for college. However, when I was a baby, I had heart trouble (my heart stopped) and epileptic seizures. The doctors were not sure exactly what caused the seizures. I am now 23 years old and have not had a seizure since I was 3 days old. Is it safe for me to receive the Tdap vaccine?
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.
Yes, the usual age of onset of TD is between 2 years and 15 years (approx.), with 7 being the median age. That is, half of persons with TD develop it by 7 years. However, that by itself does not rule it out by any means. But technically his presentation does not yet meet the requirements of TD because he seems to be displaying only a single vocal tic right now.
Are you sure it's tardive dyskinesia? There are other movement disorders that can be caused by antipsychotics that aren't TD, and some can be controlled with things like cogentin.
If you still can't reach your doctor, see if there's a crisis line for a psych ER in your area. If it's really bad, you could go inpatient, where they might be able to wean you off a lot faster, since they can supervise you medically in that situation.
Some minor side effects for the Td vaccine are headache, swelling of lymph nodes, soreness at the vaccine site and a fever of less than 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit whose symptoms disappear within a few days, according to the Communicable Disease Control site.
