A member asked:
Mother gets moderate rebound anticholinergic symptoms after transderm scopolamine removal. what can be used for treatment/prophylaxis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rebound cholinergic: Scopolamine is anticholinergic, and rebound symptoms after discontinuation of long-term treatment therefore would be cholinergic, such as urinary frequency, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, salivation, slow heart rate, rather than anticholinergic like inability to urinate, constipation. Meds with anticholinergic side effects such as Diphenhydramine (benadryl) can help such symptoms.
