works good. if not then meclizine, it's not a patch though

Dramamine take 30-45 before hitting the water.

I e-mailed the company here in California about a year ago and they stated that if you can get a prescription from your doctor they will fill it. I have also heard of people getting it south or the border also. Cutting out all the BS though, it may be better just to get the patch. Like most have said, put it on the night before you go, and be sure to drink lots of water.

Last time I was at the doctor I asked him one side note, was not main topic about a prescription for the motion sickness patch. He told me they have to test me to make sure I actually have motion sickness... I was like wtf you really need to test me for motion sickness but I was in a hurry so I didn't bother with whatever testing they wanted to do. He also commented I should consider a change of hobby because who would want to go fishing if they get sea sick. I'll have to ask again next time I go and see a different doctor. Anyone else have a doctor say they need to test you for motion sickness before giving you the patch?

I'm a doc, and that doc sounds like a moron.

hey frank, matt and i used that patch (scopolamine) awhile ago. it does work and like robfish says it does give you major cotton mouth.
after awhile matt and i stopped using it. it maybe because the issue with the cotton mouth just sucked or we just got use to being on the water.

i also use these two methods; eating crackers and drinking gingerale. lots of people say to eat or drink ginger.

This confirms my theory that the doctor was a moron. That wasn't the only stupid thing he said....

No that Doc was work on taking your fishing funds out of your pocket!

I use the perssure point type bracelet for sea sickness, you can get them at the drug store.

i just told my doctor that i get seasick when i go fishing and would like to know what he could recommend. he prescribed the patch for me without any testing. also on a side note, i don't take any other meds so that may have helped him to okay it so quickly.
