Motion sickness ???

[Thook]

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......

Well the "no different dimension" requirement probably rules out diphenhydramine then...

Assuming you've already tried Bonine (meclazine). Do you have any inner ear issues that might make you more sensitive?

Ditto,
I'm popping one 550mg capsule at 7:00am tomorrow morning because it's gonna be 4-6 footers on the Jupiter deep ledge.
It just works perfectly for me and zero side effects.
It's just $5.39 for 100 caps,,,,Seriously, if it doesn't work for you,,it's only $5 bucks.

What are the side effects ?

I’ve tried almost everything... here is the only thing I have found that works for me.

-IF- I take a whole Dramamine tablet it turns me into a zombie....so ....

Starting a couple of days before any boat trip I will start taking 1/2 a tablet in the morning and 1/2 a tablet in the evening to get the medicine into my system.
I will continue this as long as I plan on being on boats.
If I notice any side effects (drowsiness, etc.) I will cut back to just 1/2 a tablet a day.

Seems to work for me ....

Good luck .... motions sickness sucks.

Travacalm. Scopolamine without as many side effects.

I’ve been struggling with my boat dives. Once we stop. I turn green.
