Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) for Nausea/Vomiting "Went out with my friends on a Saturday night, got home around 3AM. Had to wake up at 6AM for work and I woke up with the spins and felt like throwing up. I continued to feel like this for the remainder of the shift until I saw Dramamine at the gas station on my lunch break. Decided to take 2 and I felt soooo much better. This brought back my appetite and stopped the spinning/nausea."

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) for Motion Sickness "I've taken this for motion sickness and it absolutely does help with preventing the nausea. When on Dramamine, I will occasionally get a hint of it - or maybe it's just the recognition that certain conditions should be making me sick. Either way, nothing close to what I would experience when I not medicating. The only critique I have to offer is the drowsiness. Desperately wishing to lay down and close my eyes, which can happen on Dramamine, is inconvenient if it's not the type of trip I want to sleep through."

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) for Motion Sickness "This is the only one that works for me and it really does work half an hour after taking it. This is important for me as our trips out in our boat are very spur of the moment. Sadly I can no longer get this is the UK."

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) for Nausea/Vomiting "I have indigestion issues really bad ,I rarely drink alcohol ,but when I do drink it’s usually one drink or two because my stomach hates it. Not thinking and being stupid one day drank too much and got sick nauseous . Could not hold down even water. I took 2 Dramamine because the vomiting would not stop and finally I felt more calm and my stomach eased up. Lesson learned oh and it helps with my anxiety and insomnia ."

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) for Motion Sickness "I take this for motion sickness, as well as occasional nausea. It works beautifully. I'm able to go on longer road trips and boats without being bothered by motion. And not only do I feel well physically, but my mind is at ease knowing that I don't really have to worry about it. I also appreciate the fact that it's widely available and relatively inexpensive. I usually buy the generic version, but I find that it works just as well."

For Insomnia "It takes a bit of time for it to hit, maybe 30 mins, but I can do anything in that time and I'll still be out like a light and wake up feeling better rested than I ever have. I took 2 and that made me seriously groggy in the morning, but taking 1 works great."

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) 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!"

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) 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!"

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) 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 Insomnia "Dramamine works well for me for nausea on long-haul flights but has never, ever over a period of several years made me feel even slightly drowsy which is such a pity. Tried 100 mg yet again last night in the hopes it would do something but zero, absolutely nothing, didn't fall asleep the entire night. Have had chronic insomnia for many years and have tried nearly every relevant prescription available with some success but would like to take something less powerful. Just not dramamine, sadly. Glad it works for some!"

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) 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!)"

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) 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.

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) 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?"

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) 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:)"

Travel-Eze (dimenhydrinate) for Motion Sickness "When cruising only need one pastille a day. Best sea sick pill I've ever had, would recommend have been cruising for approximately 10years but have only been using Travel-Eze for about 5 years when a Boots customer said that it was the best one she had used for her daughter who is now never ill while traveling on any form of transport. Took her advice. "

For Nausea/Vomiting "I have problems with nausea related to acid reflux and dramamine works great after 15-30 minutes when taken as needed at only 25 mg. I do however get the common side effect of tiredness, but I usually fell well enough to stay awake. Interestingly I don't feel this side effect with a product not available in the US which is a chewing gum that contains 20 mg of dimenhydrinate and is chewed for 10 minutes. I don't feel tired at all when I use the chewing gums."

For Motion Sickness "Our six year old gets terrible motion sickness even on short trips. We recently went on vacation and the drive was proving to be too much for her. She threw up the whole day and then some the next even after she was out of the car - really heartbreaking. We purchased dimenhydrinate at the suggestion of the pharmacist and she was perfectly fine in 20 minutes. We finished our drive from Canada to North Carolina and she was completely healthy and happy the entire trip. FABULOUS!"

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) 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 Motion Sickness "For me it's a miracle medicine. I purchase it OTC and can't believe how well it relieves symptoms of vertigo. Wonderful success with this medication. In the past, I actually had to pull over when driving a vehicle because I couldn't focus on the road. I take 100mg and in a few minutes I'm back on the road. Amazing! I suffer from tinnitus and get "off balanced" very easily. It completely cures my motion sickness."

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) 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."

Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) 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."
