I'd say I'm fairly well versed in conducting my own research however I don't think I've seen anyone mention or ask any questions pertaining to the use of transdermal Scopolamine (aka "scope patches" as my doctors call them) with the SN method.
(For anyone who has seen my Pegasos thread: I haven't been rejected but their response time has dramatically slowed and I simply don't think I'll be able to make it while they take their time, sadly. So I'm preparing for SN as my dreaded last resort.)
I have a mast cell disease as well as very, very severe gastroparesis/GI dysmotility and react to what seems like everything now. I've already been hospitalized due to side effects from compazine/prochlorperazine (dystonia/akathisia) and experience the same from reglan and promethazine, etc. I have to use the patches because everything just sits in my stomach for days or weeks.
I will likely do the stat dose after a three day fast to ensure my stomach is as empty as.possible. I was thinking of doing it today but thought I'd solicit the opinions of anyone here who knows if Scopolamine is a suitable substitute for the anti-emetic.
All of those other psych meds and anti-emetics are.out of the question. I'm also allergic to diphenhydramine, meclizine, etc.
I also have clonazepam and benzos have an anti-emetic effect, though I've been on them for so long who really knows at this point how much of that particular drug feature still applies to me.
I have plenty of propranolol and other BP meds, along with Ivabradine which I'm thinking of slipping for a few days because it helps keep my heart rate stable without tanking my BP even lower. I will likely use Rx muscle relaxers because I am allergic to NSAIDs such as acetaminophen,ibuprofen, ketorolac etc.
I have a consult with a doctor who may give me a GJ tube (the kind that allows for gastric draining and feeding via the small intestines/jejunum). I think sometimes this is also called a PEG tube...? I wonder if I end up getting the order for that....could I just "feed" myself the stat dose of SN straight into my small intestine via the feeding tube?
Anyone who read this far: thank you for your time, curiosity, concern and thoughts if you have any to share.
Apologies for any typos etc. My fingers dislocate when I type.
