Some of you guys 'crack me up'. Shall we say 'old wives tales' or medieval cures!

NASA and the Air Force have spent millions looking for motion sickness remedies ..

BRunsteely, you're an Idaho flatlander, that's why you don't have sea legs ..
(just kidding) I've been there too. When I shipped home from Korea I was barfing before the ship left the dock in Pusan, and never stopped for 15 days until we reached Seattle. I lost 20 lbs and survived on water and soda crackers...(that's a tough diet)
Boy did my abdominal muscles get firm -- for years after I could stick my finger down my throat and upchuck with no physical discomfort..

Disclaimer -- I'm no expert but have researched these seasick remedies.........use at yopur own risk

Batin/Rudnick 2 hrs before departure -- 25mg Promethazine (antihistamine perscription) + 25 mg Ephedrine over counter decongestant--- suposedly neg effects block one another.

Scopalamine patch (dont use for long periods of time or you may become addicted) don't ask how I know --- a smart Dr. weened me off -- I was getting motion sick on dry land without a patch !!

Scope patch + meclazine (from Ifish thread)

.5 mg dextroamphetamine + .04 mg scopalamine --need a Dr. perscription (Ifish thread)

Capt. Kujo on Ifish has NASA report......

Lots of luck -- I'll be trying one of these come Hali season------god but I hate those swells !!
(flat or otherwise)
My buddies, who can't walk straight and chew gum at the same time never get seasick -- So I guess the better your coordination is the more likely you are to be afflicted. :p
