For Motion Sickness "Works good but after 24 hours, need to sleep for at least 8 hours. OBTW - I have a USCG (US 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 water and some mild seasickness. Within a few mins he had a small seizure (he has no allergies and no history of seizures). He couldn’t control his face, arms, hands, and his breathing was difficult. Everything was stiff and contracted. It passes within about 15 mins but was very scary. The captain of our boat has seen it once before from the same med. 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 car sick. It did make a lot of us very tired though. Just heads up in 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 to fast while driving. With this I went on EVERY crazy ride including Everest... this is a gamechanger. Ensure you get sleep beforehand, eat before taking pill. Was slightly tired but not drowsy."

For Vertigo "This was my first time having vertigo. It lasted 4 days, and the medication helped, but by the 3rd day, my head was killing me. Don't know if this is normal."

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."

For Motion Sickness "Bonine is a miracle if you are bothered by motion sickness. I take a caffeine pill with Bonine to combat drowsiness. The combination of the two is a winner for me."

For Motion Sickness "I love to fish but would get very seasick. Once I discovered Bonine, I never got seasick again! I take one the day before and one just before I get on the boat. Works great!"

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!"
