Default Shake and Break Part 10


My wife is like that - she once got sea sick while anchored in the
Singapore Straits :-) We found that some medicine called Stugeron,
(derivative of piperazine) which I don't think is marketed under that
name in the U.S. If she started taking that the night before we sailed
she was all right for the trip.

Stugeron is widely available over the counter everyplace other than the US,
where it can't warrant the FDA trials.

It was originally a maternity morning sickness pill, but motion sickness
seems to be its primary use.

Easily available in UK-related countries such as the Bahamas, Ireland, etc..

Lydia takes a few days to get her sea legs and uses it for that; after a few
days, she's fine.

Interesting thread drift here!
