What has been the experience of others with this Motion Sickness Patch??

============================================

My experience is that they are very effective in preventing sea
sickness but the side efeects vary widely with different people. I
personally have experienced the "dry mouth" effect, and have noticed
something that can only be described as "strange dreams" while
sleeping. On the other hand, I have seen others who appeared to
mildly halucinate.

Carefully follow all of the directions, especially including washing
your hands after installing the patch, and not touching your eyes. I
also recommend washing and drying behind your ear before applying the
patch to improve adhesion. As others have mentioned, it's a good idea
to check with your doctor before hand, as well as to try a dry run in
a non-critical situation.

For some, the patch seems to be the only thing that works. For
others, the wrist bands and/or drammamine is effective. There is also
something called the "navy remedy" which is one tablet of phenergans
compound and another of ephridine. This is also effective but you may
have trouble getting a perscription since ephridine has become more
tightly regulated.
