Maybe I missed it, but you didn't say if your "ocean trip" is on a cruise liner or your sailboat. I get sick on big ships, but not on a sailboat, no matter what the weather or the seas are like. On a sailboat, it you feel queezy, take the helm - it'll help a lot.Going in a ocean trip for 2 weeks. I am very afraid on getting sick, What can i take, I dont want to feel drowsy.

Reeds Ginger Ale/Beer has 25 grams of ginger in each bottle, and it tastes REALLY good. You can get it at most health food stores.A lot of ginger ales don't have any ginger in them.
Good post and I agree.Scopalomine is great. There are some people that say they don't like the side effects, but I haven't noticed any other than some dry mouth. You put the patch on behind your ear and leave it there for up to 3 days - set and forget. It works great, and we've been in some really rough weather with it. I haven't noticed any drowsiness - I've actually found just the opposite. Just make sure you wash your hands well after putting it on - scopalomine is used by optometrists to dilate your pupils, and if you inadvertently rub your eyes after putting the patch on it will be some time before you can see normally again. Just ask your doctor to prescribe it for you - most pharmacies stock it and it's usually covered by health insurance if you have that.
Taking the helm or even just looking at the horizon is a huge help. Also no heavy drinking or greasy foods starting the night before leaving. Most people will adjust after a day or two on the water.Going in a ocean trip for 2 weeks. I am very afraid on getting sick, What can i take, I dont want to feel drowsy.
