Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / August 2005Scopolomine?
During the two years I'd been away from this group I wondered about the Transderm V patches from time to time. About 4 years ago there were some discussion about it and I'm curious if there's been any further news, studies or developments with this stuff? Bart.

They are available and some patients do very well as to dizzyness. One trick is to find where to put them for best results. On the back of the ear gets quick absorption, on the thigh, slower. You have to figure out whether to take the full patch or cut it. >During the two years I'd been away from this group I wondered about the >Transderm V patches from time to time.

Bart: I was fairly active in that discussion after I first read about it in a post by John Perkins (Fla). He found that it helped a lot so I tried it. My trial went on for 2-3 monthsand I found that: 1. it dehydrated the hell out of me; 2. it made me very forgetful about everyday things; 3. it really made me want to sleep; and 4. it did have some benefit for my constant T. I proceeded to a 'little' study on AST where I asked anyone who had tried it to comment on my 4 subject areas and any others they wanted to introduce. About 25-30 folks responded -- My unofficial tally was that about 25% were really pleased; 50% were somewhat neutral (including me) and 25% felt that it upset their balance; bothered their T or digestion. I still have the4 stuff in the drawer. I was only using a quarter patch near the end to cut down on the dehydration and slepiness but couldn't find a good compromise. Good luck if you try it -- let us know ??? Bob D.

It is somewhat difficult to find the perfect size and location. On the other hand, lots of people who could never fly or go boating are helped. For those it helped, was the improvement permanent or only as long as they used the Scopalomine? > Good luck if you try it -- let us know ??? I tried it back then (my T is in "both ears") I put the patch on the right ear. After approx 10 minutes the volume faded noticeably, it was the craziest thing. Fifteen minutes later the volume came back up to its original level. There was no effect on the left ear when I put the patch on it. Kept them on for 2~3 days and discontinued the patches as the volume remained unchanged. They were an exciting fifteen minutes though :) I told the folks about it at the support group nights but never heard any feedback and I'm not sure whether anyone even tried it or not. I had heard of some MD's prescribing it and figured maybe by now someone might have undertaken a study on it, hence the question. Good to see your name pop up, Bart. I tried it before and it seemed to have helped. Try it *yourself*. ========================================= > During the two years I'd been away from this group I wondered about the > Transderm V patches from time to time.
