Meclizine 2 ea. @ 25 mg. beginning 3 hrs. before you board), plenty of sleep, dry meals, lots of water. Stuff is cheap and OTC, and is the active ingredient in most all other sea sick med's.
Sometimes there is no avoiding the YAK if it's gonna happen.
Getting sea sick is a middle-ear issue, and med's that quell the middle ear are pretty much consistent. They will dry you up, lock up your gut and make you drowsy at times. Once you have started barfing they won't do much good, as you can't keep them down. You can place a 2 to 5 mg. valium under your tongue...it won't stop the barfing, but you won't care as much either.( NEVER to be combined with any qty. of alcohol though!!!)
I don't fish the salt any more, but if I did a Fish Whistle is sure to be in my pack. Nothing stops dizziness and vomiting like a small dosage of Fish Whistle combustible material, and it also acts a strong vestibular suppressant. The Vestibular nerve is the one that connects the ear to the brain, so if you make it think everything is fine, it doesn't know any different.
I don't have to be on salt water (or even near water at all) to get the same effect as being sea sick...but the above do work for me to stop the vomiting from severe vertigo eposides caused by an illness I am blessed with..
