Sea Sicknes help?

[Fin Reaper]

When in doubt I take a "less drowsey" Dramamine but I keep hearing about Meclazine...anybody know where I could find some? BTW Ive been a fan of Ginger for years and have used it on days when the Dramamine is falling short...If you want to try something a little different try Crystallized Ginger from King Arthur Flour company...The Bomb!

I recommend you go to a health food store and ginger root capsules. My kids had problems when they were young and it worked great. Just take them with some food cause they can give a real case of heartburn on an empty stomach. Very natural and inexpesive way to help with the sea sickness. Hope this helps

Meclizine is the key ingredient in less drowzy dramamine as well as bonine. It is the generic form of antivert, which is a medicine primarily for vertigo. Higher doses of meclizine require a prescription, however you can buy it otc if you buy less drowsy dramamine or bonine.

I would recomend she sleeps in another room the night before your trip. This will alleviate the nightmares that she has during the night of having a Grizzly bear in her bed chasing her. It will also eliminate the nautious feeling she gets in her belly when you try to spoon her in the am.

Hope that helps

Other tips are fresh air, no booz the night before and stay away from smokers. Real ginger is good too if she starts feeling woozy.

Scott is that why you dropped your setup ?
Who's gonna tear down the newell for ya ??

Sometimes a nice cigar to share with those that look a lil green really makes my day.

Yeaaaaaaaa babby !! the smell of diesel fumes and bait in the morning, make you feel alive !!!!

Benedryl, not sure of spelling. My grandson always would get sick, tried everything to no avail. This works by drying the fluid and leaving less to move around and make you sick. Took one the night before and then every four hours. No after effects and the kid was under 10.

I use the Scopace, pill form of the scopalamine patch. Take 2 even though 1 will work in 2-4's. I have tried everything, this stuff was developed by NASA. It only failed once in 12 trips, and that was my fault cause I only took 1 that day and predicted 2-3's built into 3-5's with an occasional 7 footer.
ps. Don't have dairy as a precaution, and bring plenty of cheetoes and chips, this stuff gives me the munchies, seems to affect others the same way.
