dramamine for those scary/twisty rides???

[cheeky monkey]

Bonine should be available in most drug stores and pharmacies. You might also look for Ginger gum. It's what the Blue Angels give the ride along guys when they're doing air demos. I know it's available at Amazon, haven't looked at my local stores though.

Ginger gum? What a great idea-I'll keep my eye out for that. That would be the perfect soultion for my non-pill swallowing DS

I also tend to get very motion sick and when we went in October I tried something different.

I used a wrist band that puts pressure on "pressure points" on my wrist and tried it for tower of terror, expedition everest and rock n roller coaster, and a few other rides which were rides that normally I would love to go on, but would make me . I felt fine and we went on the rides over and over again.

I got the band during a hip surgery. The hospital said they were trying them instead of medication for patients who had difficulties with anesthesia. So I said I would try it. Not only did it help with surgery, I also will keep it in my Disney bag now!!! No pills for me!

I get patches from my doctor that go behind my ear. They're called Transderm Scope patches and they work great! Each patch lasts for 3 days.

I have vertigo, I control it w/physical therapy exercises---so it's under control 99.9% of the time(thanks to a middle ear infection as an adult ) So I was nervous last year about riding Mission Space and RNR, anything upside down makes me nervous that it will act up again. So I can take anivert(sp) it's a perscription medicine for the vertigo---I honestly had no issues what so ever. My meds are the same thing as the OTC dramamine mine puts me to sleep for a long time--don't take the regular strength one you won't be able to function very good in the long run.

I have also used these bands for morning sickness, and they worked well for me too. The brand I used was called Sea Bands, and I used them with the ginger tablets, so I'm not sure if one was better than the other, but I do know it took care of most of my nausea and vomiting. I definitley think it's worth a try as the Dramamine, even the non-drowsy formula, puts me to sleep for hours.

ask your doc for transderm scopolamine patches - they go behind your ear every 3 days and dont make ya sleepy - we write rxs for them all the time for people going on cruises and surgeons use them after a patient has ear surgery - they're great and not $$

DW is considering this for rides like MS and Star Tours which make her queasy. I'm not to thrilled about her taking it though. I take some before flying

where can we get the wrist bands? this sounds cool! Spoke to my pharmasist and he said that dram. and bonine will make me drowsy so I def. don't want to take that!
I would LOVE to try the star tours and ms and soaring, but I KNOW it will make me sick!!!! So my mission is to find SOMETHING!

Go to Amazon.com and search "bio band" that is close to what I got from the hospital. Read what people said about them and see what you think. Then see if any pharmacy near you carries them or maybe a Shopko/Target/Walmart. Good luck, because they worked really well for me!! Have a great time!

I get motion sickness too. I tried the Star Tours and that made me sick, but Soarin' was fabulous and didn't make me sick at all. I won't even try Mission Space.
