It's been a while since I have posted a significant update. As always our journey with the transderm scop patch, active ingredient scopolamine, has its ups and downs and keeps me busy. Since starting my campaign to change the packaging on the Transderm Scop Patch and to start research into the long term effects of scopolamine use I have met many others like David. I have developed my core group of long timers, several who have signed and shared their stories on this petition and on my Facebook page. There is David, Mindy, Tami, Connie and Jennifer who is our special project. Jennifer is still on her transderm scop patch. Her doctors have no plan, she has no medical support system, no one wants to step up and help her get off this toxin that is everyday harming her already stressed and fragile body. Her doctors prescribed it everyday, still are, yet now don't want to step up and acknowledge the awful withdrawals she experiences every time they have attempted to safely ween her at home. Last time she had to be take by ambulance to the Dr twice in two days. There is no way to rationalize or make this okay. The horrors of the withdrawals are not exaggerated or made up. There are hundreds of patients with reviews out there on multiple forums. So everyday Jennifer and I when In have time look for a doctor to help her. Anyone who will help her regain control of her health. Connie, Dave, Mindy and Tami are all living with various medical problems due to the long term exposure of scopolamine. GI issues, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, unstable bp, sweating, itching, sleeping, agitation confusion, the list goes on. It's slightly different for each person, but that is why it has flown under the radar so long. Scopolamine suppresses neurotransmitter in the areas of the brain the control nausea. After long term exposure they get over sensitized and when you take that scopolamine away that brain doesn't know what to do at first. Therefore severe withdrawal. We don't know how, why or what happens after those areas are exposed to scopolamine for 24 months straight. It's never been studied or researched. Dave and Mindy will be approaching the year mark off the patch in the coming months, but both are still left wondering when the nightmare will end. Connie just came off the patch and is still in the tilt o whirl phase. One day at a time. Please, #signandshare this petition. Please help us help others. The nightmare is ongoing for so many and we need help. Jennifer, Dave, Connie, Mindy and Tami need research. You never know who's life this post may help. Thank you to everyone for all the words of encouragement and support we have received since we have started this crusade. The fight is not over, it has just begun! #helpfordave #scopolaminewithdrawalsyndrome #signandshare #FDA #transdermscop
