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 m tn hi helpme Im on tramadol and I have vertigo I take a patch for vertigo transderm scop 1.5mgs asked him to put you on that one. plus Im 52 years old. I use to take mecilzine didnt work you will be fine I have de generative disc diease in my neck I had all what you said but Im still going to a doctor for my left leg numb up to my half he said it might be from wearing to tight cloths. get a second opinion.
Avatar n tn Be careful regarding withdrawal from any benzodiazapine, especially xanax, because of its short half life. I would strongly recommend withdrawaling under a doctor's supervision so he can work out a proper taper plan with you. We do not recommend taper plans here at Medhelp, and there is no way to know whether the "cocktail" the realmattj suggested will be enough to detox your son or daughter from xanax.
Avatar n tn You're technically in a short-term 'addictive' phase to scopolamine, which is a belladonna alkaloid drug in use for thousands of years. I've taken it for sailing trips, and occasionally for sleep, but it's not a very 'clean' drug, and the doctor is right-- stop taking it.
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.
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 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.
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 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 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 f tn You want to have a least started your withdrawal before you change to suboxone. I am sure if the doctor thinks you need to more into withdrawal he would tell you. I am sure you will be fine. The suboxone has saved my life. You will be making the right choice.
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 im the 16 year old who posted up a question about a week ago about oxycontin withdrawal. and wouldnt ya know it quitting didnt turn out so well. i tried my hardest but i just couldnt cope with the horrid withdrawal effects. i was wondering if i should go to the doctors and see if he can perscribe me something to help ease off the oxy or make the withdrawal less emotionally crippling.
Avatar f tn Sorry for posting 2 questions today but just received more test results. Doc says that I have developed a low-functioning thyroid. She was calling from rounds at the hospital so couldn't give me details. Anyone here dealing with this during your treatment? I'm week 22 out of 28. Thanks for any help.
1455064 tn?1285873616 i am not hungry at all but know i have to eat- what can i eat? that will not make my withdrawal process worse?? if that's possible? and what should i drink? my nausea and shakes are horrible! i've never been through this and never wanna go through it again, please help thanks!
Avatar f tn I am off synthroid in preparation for a second round of RAI for papillary thyroid cancer. This time my eyes are giving me a terrible time: light hurts, my glasses are no longer in focus, sight "off" and cloudy at times....Anyone else have eye problems during withdrawal? Thanks.
Avatar f tn ), and that opiate abusers are so afraid of full-blown withdrawal, that when one completes a short-term sub treatment, we are so afraid and prepared for the fullblown c/t like withdrawals, that we have it in our mind that it is going to be absolutely intollerable.
Avatar m tn does any one no about this waissmen treatment?? has anybody done it?? can someone share some info or their thoughts on doing a rapid detox using the waissmen treatment???
Avatar n tn i just finished my 24th week / 6 mo. treatment and am showing clear of the virus! PTL! But do.have any of you expperience withdrawal symptoms? I am still having arthritic type pain and headaches.
Avatar f tn 6 weeks is not really long enough for you to experience an actual "withdrawal" from the Ativan, typically a "short term" course of treatment is considered 3 months or less. Those people who are on Ativan short-term won't typically experience a withdrawal, but there IS a possibility of some rebound anxiety, which is probably what you're dealing with. The increase in anxiety will evebntually subside, but it may take a few weeks. Same with the sleep symptoms.
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.
1086863 tn?1278630315 if any of you want to dump your medication and try my methods send me a message and i will try to help you all. medication has horrible side effects. and long term use can have the same withdrawal effects as opiates. good luck to you all.
