Re: Seasickness
I have never been "truly" sea sick but have had some queasy moments out on the pacific ocean on the sailboat.* I heard about Zofran at a cruising seminar and a friend who is a pharmacist seconded the recommendation. It is a prescription drug, meant as an anti-nausea treatment for chemo therapy patients.* I started taking it three days before our long (2000 mile) ocean race to give me time to get* used to any side effects.* I felt fine the first few days while some others were sick.* I stopped taking it after maybe 5 or 6 days at sea.** Side effects were minimal.*
I think the patch is called scopalomine.* It can have unpleasant side effects in some.*
