A 5 hour power shot with Gravol or Granadine ( US Version of Gravol) has a lot of votes in our group The power shot offset the drowsiness effect Don't wait till till you feel sick cause then its too late The bands work for some people but I,m skeptical on the placebo effect
I can't do 5 hour shots. Got plenty for my boyfriend for his week survival. I'm eplleptic so anything that is for energy makes me shake and prob more prone to a seizure. I can get through the drinking with ativan and Gatorade. Was hoping band would help with possible sea sickness. I have had it before but that was 17 years ago and I was 18. Maybe it was the alcohol I couldn't handle then.
The 5 hour shots are just a mega does of Vitamin C for the most part and the equivalent of 1 coffee. You can always sip on on it,,,, but I would experiment at home and not on a Booze cruise. Hope you find something that works, I find staying on top wear you can see the waves and horizon is the best avoidance.
I have some Sea Bands. Used them during the first trimester of pregnancy when I was constantly nauseated. I do think they help to a modest extent. Gravol is better. However, I would say that I am VERY prone to motion sickness in cars, small planes, helicopters, etc, but in 3 Boobs Cruises I have not ever felt the least bit ill. I do take a Gravol beforehand, but never remember to take one later in the day (having too much fun!)
IN the USA - Gravol is marketed as Dramamine Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief We had never heard of Gravol before - now we know!
pill I always just take the non-drowsy dramamine, it works great for me, I take it the night before we cruise and have one on-hand but they last 24 hours I believe so one should be plenty!:clappyinghappy::daveandmo:
