motion sickness

Ok Ive been diving for years and I love the ocean but it doesnt like me... I have much success using the scopolamine patch but the side effects are dreadful....give me alternatives that actually work for you without putting you in a different demention.......GO......

I get motionsick very easily. I've been told that a liveaboard will be better for me than dayboats, because after a day I'll get my "sea legs," whatever that means, and I will miraculously feel fine the remainder of the trip. Is this true? Am I being an idiot for agreeing to a 7-10 day...
