Motion sickness

Good point TomandLori!! My dh suffers from migraines at least a few times a week. But of course, he NEVER remembers to bring his Excedrine migraine medicine with him even though he almost always needs it. Lucky for him, I've started carrying it with me in my purse, but if he's out without me (at work for instance) he's on his own. So, surely I'll be the walking "medicine cabinet" on our trip.

Does anyone know where we can find the non drowsy dramamine? Is it over the counter? I'm not sure I'd trust the ginger pills to be powerful enough for dh. I used them when I was preg with my dd (severe "morning" sickness known as hypermesis gravidarum) and they did not help at all.

Thanks again for all the advice! It will make our trip much more enjoyable not having to worry about dh missing out on all the attractions. :flower:
 
I am just like your DH! I have gotten car sick since I was 4 or 5, and must always be a driver over a 30 min. drive! The non-drowsy dramamine made me very jittery and nervous, and the reg. very drowsy. The sure fire best thing I have ever used was the Scopamine patch the doctor Rx'd for me. I don't get drowsy or nervous. I rode a 2000 mile RT Texas to DW, RRC, and every thing else the world has to offer, and felt like I was "born again" because I never got sick! I think that was more amazing to me than my first time at DisneyWorld itself. The Rx is about $20.00 or $25.00 for 4 patches which last 72 hours each. You place is behind your ear. I swam and showered, and it never came off. Sorry to go on and on, but it really made my trip worthwhile!
 
My DH talked me onto space mountain at Disneyland on our honeymoon and we were right at the front. We nearly got divorced on the way out, I felt so bad! ;) :faint: :eek:

I'm not a bit ride freak anyway (more thrilling than POTC is a bit much for me!) so luckily :guilty: I can cry off because rides might be too sickmaking for smallest DS (5). He's been known to throw up on a 15 minute drive so I take no chances! But I would like to find something he can take every day as I'm a bit worried about the bus (I can't take coach rides) and the travel pills I usually give him last 6 hours, so I wouldneed to give him another dose for an evening visit, so I'd be really worried he was getting too much of the drug. Perhaps I might try the ginger pills - if he'd take them.
