That was pretty much the upshot of the PS article. Most people using the product reported the side effects were tolerable and the drug provided the desired effect.

I don't seem to have problems with sea sickness while on deck or in the cabin for a short while, but would want to take some precautions if I were sailing overnight and expected to sleep underway.

As part of the prep for the Delmarva trip, I'm going to attempt ordering Stugeron from one of the online pharmacies in Canada and see what happens. Hopefully I won't land in a Federal slammer.

I may also ask my Dr. for a scipt for the Scapolimine patches to have on board as well.
