For Motion Sickness "I recently bought the PS4 VR helmet. Almost every game made me motion sick. I tried Dramamine by taking it one hour before playing. Not one game bothered me at all. I played four straight hours and had a blast. I have only tried this once and had 100% success. Today I am giving it a go again!"

For Motion Sickness "I've taking dramamine a couple of times with good results however the other day I took it and it was a disaster. I usually experience agitation and dizziness while being a passenger in a car and it usually dulls it but, this time... it made my symptoms substantially worst I developed sensitivity to light , sound , and even temperature felt more intense and that was in addition to the agitation and dizziness. Please use with caution."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Sometimes after a night of partying I become nauseous. One of my customers suggested Dramamine after I threw up. Now I can party all night! My revenue is up as I can still work. Thank you dramamine! (oh and a side note Dramamine works a lot better taken orally compared to rectally but what do I know I'm just a 30 year old man. Go nuts!)"

For Motion Sickness "I enjoy sport fishing. most of the time about 3 to 4 days out at sea on a 30footer boat which could rocks severally during storms. to help myself from being seasick/motion-sickness I frequently take 1 NOVOMIT pill every 8-9 hourly. I am in my mid 40s and I felt the pills do really help. it would cost abt USD$4 per box/8pills from pharmacy. hope these information is useful."

For Motion Sickness "I have taken Dramamine every day of my adult Life. I have suffered from motion sickness my entire life and it is not unusual for me to become motion sick from working on the computer if I haven't taken a Dramamine yet. I recently noticed yellowing of my skin and eyes. My doctor Ordered blood work and I was diagnosed with Hepatitis A. there is no reason I would have contracted hepatitis. Is there a correlation with Dramamine?"

For Motion Sickness "I’ll be going on a 1 hour drive with my best friend to Great Wolf Lodge and I’m afraid of getting carsick!! So I texted my mom about this and she’s buying me the medicine. Though I hate being in cars with too much motion it makes me feel sick a lot. But I’m pretty sure I’ll forget all about the sickness once I go on slides and go swimming:)"

For Nausea/Vomiting "I have migraine aura's. Been suffering with this a year and a half so bad I felt I needed to be on disability. Been to neurologists, Mri's and CT scans nothing has worked better for me than over the counter Dramamine. Hats off to the manufacturers."

For Nausea/Vomiting "We always use Dramamine for car sickness, but my youngest came down with a tummy bug. She refused to take it in, but, the moment my stomach started to feel off I took a 24 Dramamine, and wow! I used to take zofran for migraines and this worked just as well. Although, had I not taken it before my stomach got too upset I’m not sure I could have kept it down. Needless to say, I had to use it for two days. My stomach was definitely upset, but this was keeping nausea at bay and I managed to stop all the vomiting. Thank goodness!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "First morning I wake up in Mexico and I have this urge to throw up, and I do so right outside my room. 2 hours go by and I’m still feeling super nauseous. I run down to the store in my resort and I was recommended Dramamine (which was also like $20). Honestly it made me throw up even more; a lot more. but I will say that it made me feel better after getting all the vomit out so I guess it kind of worked? I still feel a little nauseous hopefully it goes away in a bit."

For Motion Sickness "This is AMAZING. My 4 year old son started to get car sick as he got older, when we would have to drive any distance longer than 20 minutes he would get nauseous and throw up. After one particularly bad road trip where we had to stop on four separate occasions due to him throwing up, I finally did some research into some sort of medicine that would help. I tried the chewable kid's dramamine and although he still complained a few times about his stomach hurting, he never threw up and was quickly back to his usual self."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I’m taking the Dramamine-N for dizziness which was then causing nausea and vomiting not related to travel at all and within about one half hour I’m feeling good! Highly recommend for this problem."

For Nausea/Vomiting "For me, dramamine works better than phenergan. I have a lot of nausea due to rheumatoid medications I take. I also get vertigo or migraine on occasion that cause nausea. This med helps me a lot"

For Motion Sickness "I have always been a roller coaster junkie, but as I've grown up, my equilibrium isn't the same. I'm almost 51, but can take one of these and go on all the rides with my kids that I used to, and I feel great. It also doesn't make me as tired as the other stuff. I can't wait to try it on a plane. Great product!"
