Hi

Has your husband has history of hypersensitive to the drug scopolamine ?

Did he used the patch first time?

Have a look at this link

http://www.transdermscop.com/transdermscoprebate.htm

Are symptoms mild or severe?

Any alcohol intake while patch being used?

Hi

Symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headache, and disturbances of equilibrium have been reported by some people following discontinuation of use of the Transderm Scop® patch. These symptoms have occurred most often in people who have used the patches for more than 3 days, and frequently do not appear until 24 hours or more after the patch has been removed. These symptoms may be associated with adaptation from a motion environment to a motion-free environment. It is recommended that you consult with your doctor if these symptoms persist.

No, he has been using the patch for several years, just never for 2 weeks. He had a glass of wine on Thurs. evening. No alcohol since then. If he gets up out of bed, he is dizzy and nauseaus - moderate to severe.

I already read this on the Transderm information packet. I want to know if there is anything we can do to treat the withdrawal symptoms.
