For Motion Sickness "I have to swallow two tablets an hour before I expect motion sickness to occur (getting on a plane, riding in a car, etc.), and it totally works. Doesn't work instantly for me, though. I also took this for nausea due to pregnancy, and it helped with that too. I highly recommend Bonine!"

For Motion Sickness "Works well, but after 24 hours, need to sleep for at least 8 hours. OBTW - I have a USCG (U.S. Coast Guard) license, and it specifically prohibits taking Bonine within 24 hours of operating a vessel for hire. Kinda stupid rule if you ask me. Seems like a seasick captain would not be a good idea!"

For Motion Sickness "A friend suggested I try Bonine because, after having a number of surgeries, I wasn’t able to ride in the car without getting sick. I took 2 chewable tablets 1 hour before getting in the car. It was wonderful being able to go for an hour-long car ride with no nausea, no dizziness, and no headache! And I felt good the rest of the day with no side effects."

For Motion Sickness "Gave one chewable to our son (age 18) on a boat in Hawaii due to big waves and some mild seasickness. Within a few minutes, he had a small seizure (he has no allergies and no history of seizures). He couldn’t control his face, arms, and hands, and his breathing was difficult. Everything was stiff and contracted. It passed within about 15 minutes but was very scary. The captain of our boat has seen it once before from the same medication. Caution that this is a rare side effect, most common in kids (though he’s 18). For him, it also didn’t fully take away the nausea, and he threw up as the seizure was ending."

For Motion Sickness "A group of 20+ kids and adults were going on a charter boat to fish. We took this the night before and then again in the morning. Our charter was canceled due to extreme waves in which nothing would have helped. It was a long drive, and nobody got carsick. It did make a lot of us very tired, though. Just a heads up if you're the one driving."

For Motion Sickness "I took 2 Bonine tablets every morning for 3 days at Disney World. I get stomach trouble/breathing going down hills too fast while driving. With this, I went on EVERY crazy ride, including Everest... this is a game changer. Ensure you get sleep beforehand, eat before taking the pill. Was slightly tired but not drowsy."

For Motion Sickness "Bonine works great for when vertigo hits from additional fluid in your balance mechanism in your inner ear. Even when no cruising or flying. However, be careful of the getting pregnant warning."
