Thought it was worth it. At first I had to do them every day for a week, now the symptoms only reoccur maybe every 6 months or more and after only a few days of exercises the symptoms disappear. This is preferable to a sudden drop. Until last year. All frozen cocktails tasted terrible. I was put on the patch because my doctor was clueless as to why I was so ill (head pressure - fatigue / exhaustion - insomnia - migraines - dizziness - losing weight etc. I used the patch several years ago when sailing in open ocean. Tell your They are the only thing that helps my motion sickness. Next time 17 years later on a sailing trip that normally would have incapacitated me, but I had no symptoms or sickness. I understand that many are able to use the patch with no problems, but this medication is poison to my system and I will never again use this product. I also get sea sick, so I was prescribed this again. Never, Never again. Is there any way to help with eye dilation after using it and getting it in your eye? I have tried dramamine/bonine and it is not worth the fact that I feel like a zombie for 24 hours. I get severely sea sick the minute the boat starts to move and puke until I am back on shore. My son took off the patch yesterday morning and he is still experiencing blurry vision and pressure in the eyes. I am now on the 5th day and still experiencing dizziness, headaches, blurred vision and shortness of breath when walking across the house. I applied the first patch the morning we were set to leave port and experienced no issues that day. It worked for me. So disappointed. I had my son look at the area. Every three or four days I removed and replaced with a new one, but after I removed the patch I can barely function due to nausea and dizziness. Used the patch in the past with no problems, but now developed terrible itchy and oozing rash from it. For almost 5 days I was severely depressed/anxious. Not at all worth the side-effects which are quite scary. I now get a very itchy, red rash immediately after putting it on. I am going on 13 days. I am at home still using the patch. I have severe Vertigo and for a year of my life I spent being so sick, throwing up and everything spinning counter clockwise I had to stay in a very dark quiet room finally after trying everything we went to the patches, that was 3 years ago and other than when I forget to change the patch I have not had a bout of vertigo. Can't wait to go back in two weeks. Thank you again... Mary I found a 5 year old meclazine Rx and I'm going to take it to see if it helps. This time I had horrible dry mouth and trouble swallowing solid foods. 24 hours later I was on a flight, and the withdrawal symptoms hit. The patch is wonderful. I tend to take precautions when undergoing oral surgery so I use the patch to prevent any possible nausea since I also have to take pain meds that have nausea as a side effect. The second set of time, though, I had added Abilify to my regular drugs, and that dilated an eye after the second dose. Luckily a friend offered a medication called vertigoheel. I am very depressed. Read all information given to you. He prescribed zofran and meclizine to help with the withdrawal symptoms. It has been 4 days and I am still not feeling well. I figured a day of rest and I would be good to go. It helped with the motion sickness, but the side effects were frightening: Parkinson-like tremors, blurry vision, moderate confusion manifested by short-term memory alterations. For those of you who have had blurry vision, how long did it take before your eye sight was back to normal? I have used the patches on several cruises, works great during the cruise. my son uses the patch while we are out in Glamis riding and anytime we go deep sea fishing, he has no problems while using the patch nor after removing the patches, he has used them for a 10 day trip also with no side effects, sometimes the patch doesn't work if he doesn't put it on 4 hours before like recommended.
