Sea Sickness

[iflyprops]

I got sick on my last trip in West Palm Beach...I had never been seasick prior to that day. Is it ok to take drugs such as triptone or the patch and dive?

You really need to ask that in the Medical Forum, or of DAN.

From what I've read, they can have a sedative effect, increasing the risk of Narcosious. (spile chick?)

And start a day or two in advance of diving, so you will have save time to watch for side effects.

good luck, don

I never had a problem with triptone and I was taking regularly over a 2 week holiday. I didn't get any drowsiness - don't exceed the dose though.....

Hi All

I am looking for suggestions.

Here's mine. Read this: Avoiding Seasickness. I hope it helps.

I usually don't have a problem, but I've used papaya enzyme, which helped me in some rough seas. And of course, keep you eye on the horizon, if possible, and avoid the diesel fumes.
