How to prevent car sickness?

Ramona Pago: Sometimes siting by a window helps

May Stands: Dramamine [or benadryl or diphenhydramine] or Bonine [or meclizine - need prescription for that]. Ask the pharmacist.

Monica Voltin: car sickness is just a myth.

Donnell Mollo: I was gonna say "take the bus" lol.A couple things that might help is do NOT read, play video games, text, etc whatever you do with your head looking down. Perhaps have some music / earphones, watch the sights, and if you can have a window cracked for fresh air, go for it!

Eldridge Rieves: You'll need to visit a drug store today and pick up a bottle of meclizine. It absolutely prevents motion sickness so you won't have to worry about it at all. I suffered for years and now I'm able to fly, sail and do other activities I always avoided due to a childhood punctuated by traumatic bouts of car sickness. Meclizine is available without a prescription, over the counter, but is sold under different names, and possibly with! other active ingredients, but all you need is to ask the pharmacist and check the label for 25 mg tablets of meclizine HCL, of which, if you're over 12 years old, you'd take 1 to 2 tablets one hour before travel, which is effective for 24 hours.After taking meclizine you can read, watch movies, eat, gaze out the window, etc. without any ill effects. The only side effect is mild sleepiness, which will be hard to distinguish from the usual tiredness people get from riding in a vehicle anyway.Meclizine:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH000070...Meclizine used to require a prescription, about ten years ago. It is sold over-the-counter now....Show more
