Topic: anyone using the transderm scop nausea patch?

if you are, stop immediately!!! i have used the patch for the last 2 months. started the day of my surgery. the patch has the most horrible withdrawal symptoms.... everytime i took it off, i would get sick, and then thinking that my nausea was still unresolved, i put a new patch back on. i just learned that the nausea was withdrawal from the patch! i have been off the patch for 4 days now, and the withdrawal symptoms started 3 days ago. but nausea and blurred vision still persist. no idea how long it will take to be better. have been in bed for the last 3 days. cant keep my food down.

google it and you will know how many ppl have unresolved issues because of this patch. going for an appt with surgeon thursday. hoping to get some help!

Topic: RE: first change in taste i have noticed

I have had a couple things - one was when I tried a little chicken lemon rice soup - it tasted like someone dumped a bottle of real lemon in it! It tasted disgusting. I tried a lemon ice the next day and the same thing - the lemon was so intense!

I tried a spoonful of guacamole and almost spit it out - it was so gross to me. All I could taste was an extremely pungent flavor of the garlic and onion, and the soapy taste of cilantro. I was actually a little sad about this, I loved guacamole!

There have been a few other things I have tasted that I did not like, but none have been as extreme as the lemon rice soup and the guacamole.

Topic: RE: Mood swings

I had the mood swings in the beginning, but they have seemed to level out. I heard someone on OH say once that your body fat stores hormones, so when you lose rapidly, they are released rapidly and can make you feel like you have super PMS!

Topic: RE: i am going to a wedding this weekend

what time is the wedding? will you be able to eat before you go that way you don't have to eat at th wedding? then if you do find something you can eat you can have it and if not you shouldn't be too hungry since you ate before. take something small with you in case you do get hungry later and can't find something there you like.

Topic: RE: Mood swings

I've noticed it a little bit. I don't know if I would qualify it as swings, but I sometimes get a little lower and I'm REALLY BORED all the time.

I think it's because I'm not stuffing my face, I'm experiencing some emotions that I was stuffing before.
