anyone ever had the patch behind the ear for post op nausea?

If so, were you able to take it off without withdrawl symptoms? And how many days did you have it on for?

I've got zofran on hand just in case, I really want to avoid being sick and ripping anything open. I talked to my primary care doctor today and she said that it doesn't happen often, but wrote the zofran just in case.

I saw a lot of people having problems taking it off-dizziness, lots of throwing up.

Care to share your experiences?

I've used scopolamine patches for post op nausea. The can cause urinary retention but if that's not a problem for you, it may help. I put it on the morning of surgery & kept it on for 72 hours. For me it helped because most medications make me sick.

I've also used it when I had a dental abscess & the antibiotics made me sick. It can make you dizzy & it does dry your secretions.

LOVE IT!!

I kept it on for 3 days and was fine when I took it off. It was the first time I have never had any nausea after a procedure.

Me too! I am the queen of puke. Best post op experience I have ever had. No withdrawal.

Thats good to hear!

I know everyone is different (heck, I didn't even show signs of appendicitis, I was eating fine, no fever, vomitting or pain from certain "tests" (the heel of the foot tests etc.) but I've read so many negative reports, I am happy to hear some positive ones.

I had mine on for three days after major mouth/throat surgery. About an hour after I took it off, I threw up.

Bummer! I hope it was only once since you had throat surgery!! I can't imagine having to throw up a bunch of times on a recently operated on throat/mouth.

The anesthesiologist said they gave me 5 or 6 different things for nausea, including a patch. It was an outpatient procedure, and I think they were afraid I would get sick in my friend's car on the way home, because I get motion sick easily.

I threw up twice with the patch on, several hours after I got home. I didn't have any withdrawal or anything after I took it off. I think I took it off that night.

My mouth was really really really dry for a few days. I think it was from the patch. I couldn't eat toast, crackers, bread, anything like that. All I could eat was applesauce and soup. I finally sent someone out to get me popsicles, and that helped.
