Luvachicken Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 My 22 year old daughter is going to Africa for three months and the trip involves a lot of travelling. Sadly she suffers from travel sickness quite badly so we were wondering if any you lovely Omleteers know of the best ways to deal with it.

Grandmashazzie Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I am quite prone to travel sickness and use Stugeron OTC tablets.I think you can get Hyoscine patches on prescription which I have heard are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Do they have any side affects ? ( effects ? - sorry, bit brain dead after a course all day ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Personally for me they are a tiny bit sedating,which is no bad thing when travelling I think.Like all meds there is a list as long as your arm listing everything under the sun.

Valkyrie Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I was advised the Sturgeron too for hubby's sea sickness. Strange thing was I already had them on prescription by the doc for dizzy spells - take if needed (I never did need them as the iron tablets did the trick for me). Wish I'd known they were the same thing before I bought the extra ones - he could have had mine as they were the same strength! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonne Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Stugeron does knock me out a bit, so not great if traveling for several days (as I found on a coach around Australia some years ago) but great for shorter trips such as flights or ferry crossings !

TooLilac Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I get very travel sick and am still waiting to grow out of it Anything with hyocine works for me. My favourites were the Boots own brand but they have been discontinued, so now I get Sturgeron. I would prefer the Boots ones but that's the power of placebo, as the Sturgeron work just as well For me the fear/dread/anticipation (and embarrassment) or travel sickness makes it worse, so I feel much better when I take control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks everybody, you have all been very helpful I think she would rather feel a little bit drowsy than feel / be sick. I will tell her what you have all said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
