Default If I get "bus sick" will I get seasick?

I bought a 24' cabin in late fall '06 and never used it - had it
winterized for spring '07. Took a bus trip from Connecticut to the NYC
boat show, with a boating club group. I felt very weezy and almost had
nausia from the bus motions. I've never been in a small boat in waves, but
wonder is bus motion sickness similar to seasickness? In vehicles, I'm
used to being the driver, not passenger.


Regardless of what medications you plan to use, try them long before you
set foot on a boat. Each seems to have a different side effect on
different folks. As an example, many people claim that Stugeron has
liitle effect. One of my clients used Stugeron and it knocked her right
out; she slept most of the time.

Yes, and TransDermScope (scopolamine) also has nasty side effects including
dry mouth, burning sensation in mouth and dizziness. Personal experience.

Regarding riding on the bus, one test would be to try reading a book while
sitting in a car someone is driving. Winding roads are best. If you don't
feel bad you may be OK.
