The way this possibly ... by Anonymous in Undisclosed on 6/18/08 The way this possibly works is that it makes you feel SO bad that you forget all about your motion sickness. My experience with this product was very - VERY - bad. I felt fine for about five hours after taking one pill. However, at about hour five, I felt such sudden drowsiness that I can't explain. I felt like I had to lie down or I would die. It was MISERABLE. I slept for many hours, into the night, through the night and awoke the next day feeling like I'd not slept at all. A full 24 hours after taking only ONE PILL, I still feel like I've been rundown by a steamroller. Miserable feeling. In addition to feeling tired from this medicine, my heart rate slowed considerably and my joints hurt. I am sensitive to medications but this reaction was extreme. Not for me. Take with caution and don't believe the label that says "Less Drowsy".

Used this several times ... by Anonymous in Undisclosed on 5/11/08 Used this several times 10 years ago going Greece Island hopping on rough catamarans for 2-3 hours each time. Also at the Coral Reef at Cairns just this past week, each time about 1.5 hours. Judging from the vast numbers of others vomiting and even some cursing at the boat staff, I was very pleased to have this stuff. It completely relieved my motion sickness. By way of comparison, when I crossed the English Channel 13 years ago, I did not have Dramamine, and without Dramamine I sweated about 30 minutes into the ride, when I arrived Cliffs of Dover my friends said I looked like I swam because I sweated so much (my body was fighting the motion sickness). From that time forward I have used Dramamine, and it works like a charm. I would not rely on the ginger that they give you free at the boat docks.

I've taken Dramamine for ... by Anonymous in Undisclosed on 1/12/08 I've taken Dramamine for decades because I get motion sick extremely easily. The "non-drowsy" formula is actually just a lower dosage. It doesn't work for me because I need the full dosage. Unfortunately, I need to take it every 2 hours if I'm flying or doing anything else with a lot of motion (roller coaster rides, sailing, etc.) I've tried the ear patch, Meclizine, ginger and anything else I ever hear of, but Dramamine seems to work the best but has the most side effects (dead tired, and a bit dizzy, can't drive, etc.). It absolutely puts me to sleep within 30 minutes unless I am very active. The recovery from the sleepiness lasts into the next day if I've had to take more than one dose. I'd avoid Dramamine because of the side effects if you can get away with something less potent.

My daughter gets very car ... by Anonymous in Undisclosed on 1/8/08 My daughter gets very car sick so I use Dramamine on every car ride over 3 hours time. I used to have to buy this at a local convenience store but thanks to drugstore.com they have both chewable and the regular form available to me at lower cost!

Doesn't really make you ... by freeekshow in Undisclosed on 6/13/07 Doesn't really make you drowsy? I took this before going to an amusement park and I was extremely sleepy for several hours. Ruined my day I was so tired.

Doesn't really make you ... by Anonymous in Undisclosed on 5/12/07 Doesn't really make you that drowsy, and is the only product that makes an airplane ride bearable.

Thanks to this product, I ... by Anonymous in Undisclosed on 4/2/07 Thanks to this product, I was spared the queasy, crossed-eyed effects of seasickness when on a ferry trip off Kodiak Island in February. In Janury I had taken the non-drowsy Dramamine for a rough ride on the ocean and felt sick, so I recommend only the original Dramamine.

It made me pretty sleepy, though, so if you want to avoid that, I recommend the "less drowsy" version as opposed to the original.

The first and only thing ... by Anonymous in Undisclosed on 11/17/05 The first and only thing I have used and will ever use to cure my motion sickness.
