Dramamine or Bonine for HP?

[serendipity]

Will this actually work if you are prone to motion sickness? I read in another thread that someone had used this successfully. Anyone else?

I use the non-drowsy dramamine which I am pretty sure is the same formulation as Bonine. I take one the night before and then one as soon as I wake up. It makes a world of difference.

I've used Bonine for years (Dramamine made me very drowsy though they may have a less drowsy formula now). I am VERY prone to motion sickness so always use it an hour before a plane ride. I even used it in San Francisco this year when I rode on a small boat around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge. I've used it for subway rides in NYC as well as car trips and it works like a dream without any drowsiness. My daughter and teenage grandson have been using it as well with great results. Take it about an hour before you travel and then later in the day if you'll be on rides, etc. all day and you should be just fine. Have a great trip!

I have not rode FJ because of this fear too. We have been to IOA 3 times since it openned and I keep skipping it.

We were at US/IOA last weekend and rode FJ twice. I used the non-drowsy dramimine in the morning after breakfast and FJ only bothered me slightly each time but not enough to not go directly over to the Hippogriff. The FJ is not as rough as the Hulk to me, it hurt me for two hours.

WE use Meclazine (Non-drowsy Dramamine / Bonine) every time we go on a cruise. It doesn't make you drowzy and works like a charm!
