"Phenergan seems to prevent some motion sickness with fewer side effects (but slightly less effectiveness) than Transderm-Scop. The primary side effect of Phenergan is some drowsiness, which is dose-related."

"I was on a plane for 26 hours with 5 stops and not much downtime on the ground. For the first time, I was able to eat and sleep for longer than 10 minutes. Not the best medicine for someone that needs to be alert and fully functioning. Once on the ground for good, I needed to be alert and doing my job. It took around 20 minutes and some water."

"So I took a couple of 25 mg tablets for bed. It wasn't working, so I took another 2. I fell asleep and woke up at 3 am to go to the toilet. I sat on the toilet for 35 min talking to the toilet roll, thinking it was a girl. I then walked into walls, thinking it was my bedroom door for about 20 min. I then took another 20 min trying to find my bed. I was seeing a lizard on my windowsill and spiders crawling on my wall next to my bed. That scared the shit out of me, so I waited on the side of my bed for them to go away, which they didn't. I thought someone was running at the front of my house. I had my torch on my phone on, staring at it for a while. I'd talk to the walls and constantly walk into door frames, coffee tables, and the kitchen bench. I was hallucinating like crazy. I honestly and genuinely thought my hallucinations were real at the time. Be careful."

"Safest, cheapest antihistamine (its main function) works very well. It's a good medication for motion sickness. I use injectables and tabs. Seek advice before using any medication."

"My husband and I have used Dramamine in the past for motion sickness while on our fishing boat. A 50 mg tablet will put us to sleep within 3 hrs after taking the pill. One time I could not drive home, I was falling asleep at the wheel. I went home and could not keep my eyes open. This time during our cruise, we saw a pharmacist on an island stop, and she gave us Phenergan and told us to take 1 15 mins. before going on a fishing charter. The pills worked wonderfully! We were out in really rough waters on a 30 ft. fishing boat for 4 hrs. Did not even get queasy at all! We were not even tired upon our return either. As a matter of fact, my husband said the pill made him hungry, and he ate more. Phenergan is wonderful! Throw away the Dramamine!"
