The investigators will examine and analyze opioid narcotic usage patterns by requesting patients keep a two week log of their opioid usage following outpatient hand surgery with a standard analgesic regimen consisting of an opioid, NSAID, and acetaminophen. Following a pre-intervention period, the investigators will add scopolamine to the regimen and have patients monitor their opioid consumption. The investigators will then compare opioid consumption patterns following completion of the study.
