"On the advice of a friend, my wife and I started taking Bonine 24 hours before we departed on a small ship cruise in the Caribbean. It was the best advice we could have gotten because at night while traveling between the islands, the weather was very, very rough. Over half the people on the cruise were extremely seasick and miserable. We felt fine and had no issues at all. I highly recommend this product."

"I didn't get motion sickness until after we got off our 7-day cruise. I have been fighting nausea and dizziness for a week now (the doctor said it is normal to suffer this after a cruise). After reading these reviews, I went and bought Bonine. I took one pill, and I feel great! Sure wish I had researched this a week ago!"

"I went on a 4-day, 3-night cruise with my identical twin. Both of us had previously taken Dramamine but neither of us liked it due to the sleepiness. She bought some Bonine while I had my doctor write me a prescription for the back-ear sticker. Both of us took our medicines 12 hours before getting on our plane. I got tired while she enjoyed poking me and making fun. The back ear patch didn't work because I got sick within minutes of being on the ship. My sister forced me to take the patch off and made me take the Bonine. We had a great trip. We swear by Bonine and our family and friends love it too."

"My husband and I went on a 3-night Bahamas cruise for a romantic getaway. I get 'seasick' when traveling at times, but was thinking big ship = less motion? Wrong! I was sick by dinner @6 PM and we boarded at 4 PM. I was so upset :( crying, nauseous, disappointed. My husband and I went to the gift shop and found Bonine. I took 2 and got very drowsy but no more seasickness. I decided the next dose I would take 1 pill and see if that went better. It did! So for the rest of the trip I took 1 pill every recommended dosing time, and I did not have sickness or drowsiness again. Bonine was amazing for me! Highly recommend it, and it was worth every penny."

"I learned to sail keelboats 8 years ago. I love it, but am prone to seasickness. I tried ginger initially, but that was ineffective. Then a friend suggested Bonine, and I have used it ever since. I don't feel drowsy while sailing, but on the drive home after sailing and all the next day, I can be very drowsy. To combat the drowsiness, I tried reducing my dose, I now take 1/3-1/2 a tablet each time I go out (once or twice a week), increasing the dose up to 1-1/2 tablets if I expect rough seas. Over the 7 years of twice a week use, I have only had trouble twice in stormy 6 ft seas. Highly recommend, but figure out your best dose. I have taken it for up to 10 days continuously without ill effects."

"We are cruisers and have been on many since 1980. My doctor at the time told me to try Bonine, and it has gotten me through many a rough sea, and I'm always able to enjoy myself. I have forgotten to take it twice, and each time got motion sickness. So I always recommend it to family, friends, and other new cruisers."

"My youngest son gets carsick after being in the car for 30 minutes. I discovered these tablets and give him half of a pill an hour before we leave as directed, and he's golden. He does not experience drowsiness and acts like his normal self. Trips have become manageable now and I don't cringe with the puke bucket."

"I wanted to take a helicopter ride while on a trip to Kauai. I have a horrible history of motion sickness. Someone suggested Bonine, so I tried that. I not only made it through the entire 90-minute ride, but I actually enjoyed it and didn't once have the horrible motion sick feeling."

"Bonine is a game changer! My husband and I have a 28 ft boat, which my husband loves offshore fishing! But I get terrible seasickness! Even if it's less than a foot! Tried Dramamine, and it never worked. I would be green in less than an hour! But then I discovered Bonine. 'God sent!' took 1 pill! The chewable lasted all day fishing! Not to mention it was rough seas about 2 1/2 to 3 feet! It was amazing! So I'm sold, definitely a Bonine fan. It was a game changer for me! This stuff truly works."

"I hadn't been on a plane in 6 years, and I had 2 back-to-back flights in which I was extremely sick and threw up. I took 2 Bonine for the flight back home, and I felt absolutely no motion sickness!!! I'm so thankful I got Bonine, now I don't dread airplanes anymore!"

"I took Bonine on recommendation before going to Universal Studios, as some of the motion-simulated rides there make me feel nauseous. It’s been 2.5 days, and I am still so incredibly drowsy. I’ve been drinking lots of water each day to try and flush it out of my system, but it seems to be taking an incredibly long time to wear off completely. I won’t be taking this again. I’m going back to Dramamine."

"Took Bonine for a 3-hour flight, and it worked great. I get motion sickness very easily, and Bonine stopped the nausea and dizziness. I did have some drowsiness, but I will take that over the dizziness and nausea any day."

"Both my son and I took this on a diving trip, and it worked great. No side effects. I have high blood pressure and had no effects that I could tell. We took 1 the night before, and 1 an hour before the boat left the dock."

"My sister and I have a long history of motion sickness: a rocking chair or porch swing is enough to set it off for us! This summer we took a trip to Jordan, Israel, Greece, and Italy, where we traveled on planes, buses, trains, and ferries and rode in taxis, rented cars, and jeeps--and camels and donkeys in the desert!--without any trouble at all, as long as we took our Bonine every morning. We can't say enough about this product's efficacy!"

"I have been on both a 5-day cruise and just returned from a 7-day cruise. Was introduced to Bonine on the first cruise by a friend, also on the cruise, who provided the Bonine for all 4 'cruisers'; not one got seasick. This last 7-day cruise, I took my 14-year-old daughter, who also did not get sick. It did make me a little drowsy, so I skipped it one morning we were in port for the day. I forgot to take it when I re-boarded the boat and was feeling woozy and remembered I hadn't taken it that morning. I popped the Bonine and immediately felt fine. Have not heard of any friends being successful with prescribed seasick meds, and not one complaint about taking the Bonine. Thank you, Bonine, for a fabulous 7 days!"

"I have to swallow two tablets an hour before I expect motion sickness to occur (getting on a plane, riding in a car, etc.), and it totally works. Doesn't work instantly for me, though. I also took this for nausea due to pregnancy, and it helped with that too. I highly recommend Bonine!"

"Works good but after 24 hours, need to sleep for at least 8 hours. OBTW - I have a USCG (US coast guard) license and it specifically prohibits taking Bonine within 24 hours of operating a vessel for hire. Kinda stupid rule if you ask me. Seems like a seasick captain would not be a good idea!"

"A friend suggested I try Bonine because after having a number of surgeries, I wasn’t able to ride in the car without getting sick. I took 2 chewable tablets 1 hour before getting in the car. It was wonderful being able to go for an hour-long car ride with NO NAUSEA, no dizziness and no headache! And I felt good the rest of the day with no side effects."

"Gave one chewable to our son (age 18) on a boat in Hawaii due to big water and some mild seasickness. Within a few mins he had a small seizure (he has no allergies and no history of seizures). He couldn’t control his face, arms, hands, and his breathing was difficult. Everything was stiff and contracted. It passes within about 15 mins but was very scary. The captain of our boat has seen it once before from the same med. Caution that this is a rare side effect, most common in kids (though he’s 18). For him it also didn’t fully take away the nausea and he threw up as the seizure was ending."

"A group of 20+ kids and adults were going on a charter boat to fish. We took this the night before and then again in the morning. Our charter was canceled due to extreme waves in which nothing would have helped. It was a long drive and nobody got car sick. It did make a lot of us very tired though. Just heads up in you're the one driving."

"I took 2 Bonine tablets every morning for 3 days at Disney world. I get stomach/trouble breathing going down hills to fast while driving. With this I went on EVERY crazy ride including Everest... this is a gamechanger. Ensure you get sleep beforehand, eat before taking pill. Was slightly tired but not drowsy."

"It worked immediately. I was on a cruise ship, and as soon as I popped it into my mouth, the vertigo and nausea disappeared for 24 hours. No drowsiness."

"Bonine works great for when vertigo hits from additional fluid in your balance mechanism in your inner ear. Even when no cruising or flying. However, be careful of the getting pregnant warning."

"Bonine is a miracle if you are bothered by motion sickness. I take a caffeine pill with Bonine to combat drowsiness. The combination of the two is a winner for me."

"I love to fish but would get very seasick. Once I discovered Bonine, I never got seasick again! I take one the day before and one just before I get on the boat. Works great!"
