Non Drowsy Meds in Canada for motion sickness

[JenH1969]

My doctor gave me a prescription for the patch- Trans derm- just wondering if we have bromine or any other non drowsy meds-

TIA, Jen

You can get Bonamine at Wal-Mart or Shoppers. It's a dark blue box (visual learner here).

It was on the shelves (i.e. I didn't have to ask the pharmacist). A few years ago I did ask for the generic, but the pharmacist looked at me like I had two heads. I gave DH a Bonamine each day, since he doesn't like rides, and he did fine. I use it on the day that I do Mission Space-orange level- with the girls.

But take it prior to going.....it made DH drowsy.

We can get a similar product up here in Canada called Bonomine. It comes in a blue box and you usually have to ask for it at the pharmacy but no perscription required. I can't travel without it! Gravol puts me to sleep for 12 hours but this works great for me. I've never tried the patch so I can't help you with that. I always say to try what ever you are going to use before you go so you know how it will effect you during your trip.

if you want something more natural you can take 'ginger trips' you get them from a health food store.

Gravol makes me sleepy -- and not a restful sleep -- so I actually take my DDs kids gravol. It has enough strength to keep me from getting sick on the plane, but doesn't grog me out

Gravol also has a non-drowsy ginger version. I don't know how it works on motion sickness but it is quite effective for nausea.

ginger pills - several people i know swear by them and they are in the health food store.

This is what I use and it works great!

this works for me too...the first 2 yrs I went to Disney I didn't really go on anything cuz I felt like pooh pooh when I came off the ride. So I tried this last yr and it worked

 

[Kurby]

where can you get those?

 

[drag n' fly]

if you are talking about the gravol ginger I found them where you find the tums etc

 

[Kurby]

i'll have to take a look next time i'm at shoppers

thanks

Kurby Petro Canada sells them also (Herbal Gravol)--just picked up a bottle tonight--last trip to Disney I realized they have all the extras you might need but WOW for a price!! This time I'm making up a small emergency make-up tote with all sorts of stuff
mole-skin -- ahhh my aching feet
Advil---drinks at the Poly
Imodium --hey I'm on the free dining plan
shampoo and cream rinse --"You lost my luggage"
mini toothpaste--those bus rides with non brushers is obvious!
band-aids --ouch that stroller ran over my foot lady!
Gravol--I AM Woman!! I will not wuss out in front of my sons.

i will LOL

dh got a very quick lession back in 04 when we went down before our wedding.

he thought it would be a good idea to go on the star wars ride. i suggested it wasn't such a great idea but he said it wasn't that bad.

not even a minute into the ride i was turning blue and that was the end of our day. i didn't through up but i was out of it for the afternoon.

had to sit on the muppet fountian for about 30 minutes just to be able to walk straight.

not good.

he swore he'd never make me do anything like that again.

i'll settle for letting him drive half the way down - as it stands he can only do 15 - 20 minutes before i tell him to pull over and let me drive.

can't handle it

I can't take Gravol. but I have taken Bonomine! Also Dramamine works wonders...ask your Dr for it! You can only buy it in the US. It is amazing...
