Anyone know any and is willing to share? I've heard back-rubs are effective, but I've never experienced it first hand so I wouldn't know.

So, do you know any?

Sleeping pills - suckers knock you out cold. You'll never know what hit you, or for that matter, just where the hell you are! :D

There are these thingys that you put onto your wrists. Wristbandy type things that will push down on a presure point.

Apparently they work too.

I used to get car sick really quickly e.g. 10 minutes away from home. All I changed to combat this was:


I ate a full meal half an hour before leaving
I sat in the front seat
I stopped reading/doing things that involved my vision and attention whilst being a passenger
I stared at the road in front of me whenever I began to feel sick


I haven't been car sick in 5 years.

EDIT: Also, there's an anti-travel sickness pill called something like 'Sturgeon 15' that killed the sickness.

1. Dramamine, or other over the counter pill.

2. Wrist or ear patches. they deliver the same dosage of anti-sickness medicine, but do it through a dermal patch.

3. Be the one who drives.

4. Don't travel.

Choices:
A) A Turkish bath
B) Sex
C) The giddy feeling you get imediatley after committing murder.

These work! I tried them after a miserable flight in a small private plane-I was dreading the return trip and bought "Sea-Bands" in a drug store for about $10.00.

they worked and it was great not to have the choice of renting a car and driving back home for 20 hours or another gruelling 5 or 6 hours of naseous flight.

What you need is:
- a bucket to be sick in
- plenty of tissues
- a bottle of water
- a sponge

making yourself 100% prepared to be sick and thus preventing that eventuality due to Sod's Law. However, it may get its revenge on you by still making you feel deathly sick the whole way without actually being sick. It's risky, messing about with universal laws :rolleyes:

in a car or plane or boat.

If a car stick your fingers or hand out the window, in a plane this might be harder. :D

Dramamine, Bomine, or other motion sickness preventatives work but ONLY if taken BEFORE you get sick.

Chewing mint gum helps.

Sleeping, if you can, works wonders.

That works for you, too?

Of course, there's always my solution: never leave your room. :D

Bonine will help prevent it, but it will make you drowsy. Avoiding large amounts of caffeine definitely helps. Also, try to keep either peppermint candy/gum, or a small handkerchief soaked with peppermint oil handy. Even the scent will lessen or completely do away with the feeling of nausea.

Stugeron works well. As does staring out of the window and not lookin down at all.

This is exactly what helps me too! (Not eating is bad for me ... and not watching the road also is a bad thing... and yes the front seat is great)

I've become travel sick on occasions when my eyes were focused on a stable environment while I was being moved slightly. The conflict between what I saw and what my sense of balance were telling me was what causes me to get sick. In those cases, looking out of the window and focusing my eyes to see what I was feeling (the sideways movement) or closing my eyes and leaving everything to my feeling of balance would work against that.
My siblings chew special chewing gum instead.
