I am a healthy 37 yr old male. I used the patch when I was working on fishing boats. The only side effect was that it gave me "the munchies" the first day after putting it on. It wasn't sufficient to prevent seasickness for the motion of the small boats so I used meclizine daily while leaving the same patch on for 5 or 6 days before taking it off.
