Dramamine for Motion Sickness User Reviews

"I've had moderate motion sickness for almost my entire life, and it's only gotten worse into adulthood. I have generalized anxiety and panic disorders on top of being extremely emetophobic (fear of nausea/vomiting), so you can imagine how those play into the motion sickness and snowball it from there. When my panic disorder was at its worst, I would have to take two Dramamine and two .5 mg Xanax just to get through a 2-hour car ride without vomiting. I'd literally have to sedate myself to go anywhere that wasn't less than 15 minutes from where I lived. Nowadays, any time I go out or feel nauseous, I pop 1-2 Dramamine depending on the severity. It does away with the nausea in roughly a half hour and calms me down too. Honestly, I don't know where I'd be without Dramamine (original formula). It allows me to visit my family and allows me to actually enjoy car rides rather than sit hyperventilating or hanging my head out of the window like a sick dog. Thank you, Dramamine!"

"We use Dramamine prior to fishing trips. However, an old sea captain told me to take one pill the night before and then another the morning of the trip. This way, it really gets in your system. It works!"

"I have been experiencing motion sickness every time I travel by plane and decided to give this a try. Not only did I not experience any nausea, but it knocked me out for my two-hour flight! I fell asleep while people were still boarding and woke up when the plane hit the ground again. Amazing!"

"This is amazing! I've been struggling with motion sickness, and it's gotten worse as I got older. I took this on a 3-hour drive to San Diego and a 3-hour drive back, and I was feeling better than ever! It seems to help with anxiety as well, I forgot how it felt to just be normal. I'm always nauseous, so it's a refreshing feeling to not feel anything on the drive. I don't get sleepy that easily so the drowsiness doesn't kick in 'til later, but this is amazing. I recommend. It's good to have trust in a medication because it'll ease your mind on the trip you're going to take, and that's what I have with Dramamine."

"I have been seriously dizzy since Jan 2018. Dramamine restores me, so I can work and live. The only problem is I take quite a few tabs a day. But for three and a half months, I can't handle the dizziness! Dramamine took away my dizzy spells, nausea, and vomiting! I feel human again."

"I have such a hard time with motion sickness, so I am always sure to bring Dramamine along with me for flights, cruises, etc. I do not recommend the non-drowsy formula, however, because it does not work for me. I will take drowsiness over nausea any day!"

"I am so glad I found this! I've been dealing with motion sickness for years. It was almost impossible for me to ride in the backseat of a car before this medication. I first used Dramamine for a 4-hour road trip in a large van. I was so nervous about getting motion sickness I almost didn't go. I took 2 pills about 30 minutes before, and it completely kept the sickness away! It did make me tired, and I ended up taking a little nap, but that's better than nausea. I can do everything I couldn't do before in a car, from reading to having a normal conversation."

"I use this for both motion sickness and severe migraines. I'm 25 years old, and this actually takes away the hurt from noise, light, touch, and yes, dizziness and vomiting. I can actually move and participate with my family this Christmas. Rarely do I mix it, if anything, I just take the max dosage recommended."

"I have been taking Dramamine for years (since I was a child) to prevent my terrible motion sickness. It works incredibly well at keeping me from getting nauseated. My only problem with it is that it makes me so drowsy! If it is a short flight or bus ride, I still get nauseous but don't always want to take Dramamine because I'll be so drowsy once arriving at my destination. A 4+ hour flight, bus, or boat though, and Dramamine is for sure the way to go, particularly if it is overnight travel and you will be wanting to sleep anyway."

"I've taken this for motion sickness, and it absolutely does help with preventing the nausea. When on Dramamine, I will occasionally get a hint of it - or maybe it's just the recognition that certain conditions should be making me sick. Either way, nothing close to what I would experience when I'm not medicating. The only critique I have to offer is the drowsiness. Desperately wishing to lay down and close my eyes, which can happen on Dramamine, is inconvenient if it's not the type of trip I want to sleep through."

"I took a full pill for a precaution for sea sickness before going on a whale watch. I don't usually get sea sick, but said what the heck since the Dramamine box said non-drowsy. It is now 24 hours later and I am still completely out of it. I had to have someone drive my car home, and I fell asleep in the car. I came home and slept 3 hours, then went to dinner and went to bed after and slept for about 10 hours. Still do not feel like me. So bummed! At least sea sickness is short term."

"This is the only one that works for me, and it really does work half an hour after taking it. This is important for me, as our trips out in our boat are very spur of the moment. Sadly, I can no longer get this in the UK."

"I take this for motion sickness, as well as occasional nausea. It works beautifully. I'm able to go on longer road trips and boats without being bothered by motion. And not only do I feel well physically, but my mind is at ease knowing that I don't really have to worry about it. I also appreciate the fact that it's widely available and relatively inexpensive. I usually buy the generic version, but I find that it works just as well."

"I have always been a roller coaster junkie, but as I've grown up, my equilibrium isn't the same. I'm almost 51, but can take one of these and go on all the rides with my kids that I used to, and I feel great. It also doesn't make me as tired as the other stuff. I can't wait to try it on a plane. Great product!"

"I recently bought the PS4 VR helmet. Almost every game made me motion sick. I tried Dramamine by taking it one hour before playing. Not one game bothered me at all. I played four straight hours and had a blast. I have only tried this once and had 100% success. Today I am giving it a go again!"

"I enjoy sport fishing. Most of the time about 3 to 4 days out at sea on a 30-footer boat, which can rock severely during storms. To help myself from being seasick/motion sickness, I frequently take 1 NOVOMIT pill every 8-9 hours. I am in my mid-40s, and I felt the pills do really help. It would cost about USD $4 per box/8 pills from the pharmacy. Hope this information is useful."

"I've taken Dramamine a couple of times with good results, however, the other day I took it, and it was a disaster. I usually experience agitation and dizziness while being a passenger in a car, and it usually dulls it, but this time, it made my symptoms substantially worse. I developed sensitivity to light, sound, and even temperature felt more intense, and that was in addition to the agitation and dizziness. Please use with caution."

"This is AMAZING. My 4-year-old son started to get car sick as he got older. When we would have to drive any distance longer than 20 minutes, he would get nauseous and throw up. After one particularly bad road trip, where we had to stop on four separate occasions due to him throwing up, I finally did some research into some sort of medicine that would help. I tried the chewable kids' Dramamine, and although he still complained a few times about his stomach hurting, he never threw up and was quickly back to his usual self."

"I have taken Dramamine every day of my adult life. I have suffered from motion sickness my entire life, and it is not unusual for me to become motion sick from working on the computer if I haven't taken a Dramamine yet. I recently noticed yellowing of my skin and eyes. My doctor ordered blood work, and I was diagnosed with hepatitis A. There is no reason I would have contracted hepatitis. Is there a correlation with Dramamine?"

"I’ll be going on a 1-hour drive with my best friend to Great Wolf Lodge, and I’m afraid of getting carsick! So I texted my mom about this, and she’s buying me the medicine. Though I hate being in cars with too much motion, it makes me feel sick a lot. But I’m pretty sure I’ll forget all about the sickness once I go on slides and go swimming."

"I had a 5-hour flight trip. I got Dramamine, and it made me so relaxed, I fell asleep. When I woke up, we were about to land. It helped me with anxiety, too."

"Amazing. Helps with my severe nausea and helps me sleep. It's better if you take it 30 minutes before the trip. And it also helps with anxiety, it relaxes you."

"Works excellent. Went on whale watch with family. Took it 1 hour before boat trip, and it worked awesome. I even was able to have food on the boat with no nausea."
