Bonine dosage for kids??

Several using Dramamine complained of excessive sleepiness, so I am not too crazy at the prospect of sleeping extra during our cruise. I guess it would be my second choice, after Bonine, but before the patch and before taking nothing!

The sleepiness can be a real positive for airline flights, especially if you give it to the kids. Just don't do like a friend of mine and give Benadryl without a test dose. She got hyper instead of sleepy and he was in the dog house for years.

On our first cruise I was too scared to take anything for seasickness, and didn't want to take the chance giving medication to our then 8 and 10 year olds either. I spent $40.00 on 4 sets of Seabands, and was THRILLED with the results! No chances of side affects either! They worked like a charm, and I wore them the entire cruise. They might not be very fashionable, but believe me, with the relief they bring.....they are worth it! I found ours at Walgreen's for 10.00 per pair, but saw someone post that they found them for 6.00 at Krogers.
Best of luck!!

Wal Mart carries them with about $5-7 per pair depending on whether you get the brand name or not.

I guess I am over-prepared (as usual) I have the patches, the bonine and the sea bands, lol. We used the sea bands last cruise and they were not bad. But we were on a 4 day and I am a bit more worried about the 7 day. I do not want to come home from the cruise so wobbly that I cant work ! Will probably just use the sea bands but will have the other meds if needed. Just dont know where I will fit everything in my already over-packed suitcases
