Best medication for motion sickness

Ladleboy · 19 Aug 19, 05:29 PM

Really love the rollercoasters in the park but really struggle with simulation rides. FJ looks great but went on it in 2014 and spent the whole time with my eyes closed. I can just about manage Spider-Man. Just. It just makes me feel immediately queasy. Anyone have any suggestions of motion sickness medication they’ve used and found to work. Hate missing out in these rides.

Thanks.

Quells which are for motion sickness, but any antihistamine tablets will work. Depending how bad you are you might have to take 2 if they aren’t very strong. You will have lovely clear sinuses too.

I've used Dramamine tablets with success, I bought them while in Orlando, can't remember which supermarket.

I bought the equate motion sickness tablets from Walmart, said on the box less drowsy than dramamine and they worked a treat on FJ, the Simpsons, even despicable me made me queasy last time I went but was fine this year.

I bought Scopolamine patches off Amazon after they were recommended on here. Fishermen use them!

I don’t do coasters but they got me through FOP and helped with the cross channel ferry feeling I get just walking along with jet lag.

You have my sympathy. X

Dramamine is the best I’ve tried but I still can’t do a few of the rides

Make sure if you use Dramamine that you get the “less drowsy” ones .
I used normal Dramamine last week and I felt drugged up to the eyeballs , nearly fell asleep on the safari at animal kingdom. Made me feel awful but in a different way

I once took normal Dramamine and lost 12 hours of my life because I couldn’t stay awake!

I have taken Dramamine (less drowsy) on my last few trips, it was my MIL who found them on here for me. I also take a tablet before we fly.
