I have some Stugeron now and plan on picking up a new supply in Bermuda this 
year.  So far, I've carried it and not needed it.
As a career aviator, I wasn't prone to airsicknessthank goodness.

I used Stugeron for a delivery trip from Bermuda to Newport. Took it a couple 
of days ahead of the trip. One day out we ran into nasty sea conditions. 
Stugeron was not working for me. Fortunately the skipper had Scopolomene 
patches. Worked like a charm.

[Steve Thomas via CnC-List]

You have used scopolamine before, so for you it is not an issue, but first time 
users are well advised to try it out ahead of time if possible. Some people 
find it makes them really dopey. I like to keep some patches on board though, 
for those people who insist that they won't get seasick. 

The reason why you might want to take Dramamine or Gravol for a day or two in 
advance is that the active ingredient is a hypnotic (makes you sleepy) but 
tolerance to the drug's hypnotic effects builds up quickly. So after a few days 
of consistent administration at the recommended dose, it will not make you 
sleepy any more. Works for me, but I usually only start the day before, and 
apply coffee sparingly if necessary.

I've used Scopolamine before and it was moderately effective, but i'll be going 
on a long rough passage on the outside of of Vancouver Island next week and was 
wondering about trying Dramamine.

Mike,
Dramamine (or Bonine) is Meclazine,  an oral antihistamine and only needs to
be taken 1-2 hours before boating.

Be aware that it interacts VERY poorly with alcohol, so if you or your crew

good option.  My wife suffers greatly from motion sickness and we've been

Mike — being north of the border, have you tried Stugeron (Cinnarizine)?  
Although I’m normally not prone to seasickness, the few times I’ve needed 
something (the first day or so of an open-ocean passage), I’ve had much better 
luck with that than with Scop.

My experience has been to take it about 1-2 hours before heading out. Also,
as long as I'm driving the boat I'm fine...it's when I'm not and I go down
below that things get strange..  Focus on the horizon and maintain a good
breathing pace always helps me too.  Although lately I haven't been seasick
at all..  A friend has been using a Dramamine patch and said it works even
better.  Not sure if that's a prescription or not.
