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, I 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."

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

For Motion Sickness "I enjoy sport fishing. Most of the time about 3 to 4 days out at sea on a 30-footer boat, which can rock severely during storms. To help myself from being seasick/motion sickness, I frequently take 1 NOVOMIT pill every 8-9 hours. I am in my mid-40s, and I felt the pills do really help. It would cost about USD $4 per box/8 pills from the pharmacy. Hope this information is useful."

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 "I've taken 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 worse. 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 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 kids' 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 "First morning I wake up in Mexico, and I have this urge to throw up, and I do so right outside my room. Two 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 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 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 "For me, Dramamine works better than Phenergan. I have a lot of nausea due to rheumatoid medications I take. I also get vertigo or migraines 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!"
