Dramamine would put me to sleep - but Bonine doesn't.

It's a good idea to take before or have on hand some type of motion sickness meication but they will make you sleepy. Besides the not staring down constantly it a good idea to have something in your stomach. I always carry a sandwich and some fruit, like 1 or 2 apples, crackers or chips. Of course that is to go with my six pack of beer. The more time you spend on the water the more your body will start to adjust and you might not need the medication or patch in the future. Good Luck

Get the sliced ginger in the supermarket. When you go out take 5-6 pieces, put them in a baggie, and then eat as you need them. A cook on the Independence told me about that and it works.

I get sea sick easily. This is what I find works:


The RX patch...almost 100% effective, put on the night before, major dry mouth and you will feel in a "cloudy zone " all day


The Dramamine, sometimes works not always, very little side effects.


Eat crackers, ginger ale.


Do not eat greasy food.


Looking down will get you sicker faster.





If it is warm/warm water....jump in the water..just a few minutes next to your kayak, instantly feel good. I guess your body changes its priorities when it is in the water.


Best one yet, proven again and again. Bring a bag of sunflower seeds, munch on them. Don't know what it is, the salt the extra Silvia or whatever...it works.



Good luck.

The kelp thing I have never heard . Look at Horizon , Bonine / Dramamine , patch , and consumption of some ginger . One other proven method is pressure points on inside of wrists . You can purchase wrist bands at pharmacy .

My brother gets seasick something fierce, like even on a lake. Nothing ever worked for him until he tried one of these:

They have them at a lot of places. Nice thing is you can use it even after you start feeling maggoty. Also, once you feel better you can take it off and give someone else some relief.

I'm going to take Dramamine the night before and see how it goes next time. Thank you all for your posts.
