Motion sickness concerns - 2 types, help?

[disneylvr04]

Star tours and the spinning tea cups bother me, and oddly enough the Magical Express bus back to the airport. I've gotten sick twice on that!

I took the "more drowsy" version of Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) and was so drowsy I couldn't watch the kids. From now on I'll take the "less drowsy" (meclizine).

I get terrible motion sickness,, must take Dramamine before every flight, I always take it on the day I go to Epcot for test track and soarin, and Hollywood studios for star tours, as long as I take the Dramamine, I am fine.

I wondered about Test Track. I can't even watch the Teacups or a Merry Go Round. I closed my eyes through most of Star Tours. Space Mountain wasn't horrible, but made me feel icky for a bit. The worst I felt was when we were headed home. I suffered horribly from car sickness on the way home. We had to stop and get me something. I am going to try Bonine on our upcoming trip. I have to do something. I hate feeling that way.

I also have major motion sickness issues. When I went to Disney World last month, I felt nauseous on Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, and I almost threw up on the Tower of Terror.

OP, I also have the "can't watch IMAX" issue (vestibular disorder). Unfortunately, meclizine doesn't help me. Valium can help, but then it is nap time.

I have learned how to manage certain attraction by tilting my head certain ways, shutting my eyes at times as others note, with fair success.

But no matter how I try, I have found that I must avoid these attractions: Primeval Whirl, Teacups, China 360 movie (went to ground ), any virtual reality game at Quest, M:S Orange (Green fine), and I can only take about 10 minutes in the aquarium part of Living Seas (I assume it is the thick glass of the tanks that distorts visual).
