Dramamine

I mean, the whole family, we were, we were ready.

We had Dramamine and backups, and my mom was like, "I got extra reinforcement." Dad like, you know, [laughs] like, reinforcements? I can only imagine how that feels.

It's, it's not that he's incapable of being a smooth driver.

He just doesn't have the patience or the interest.

So we were getting there quick, and he was shaving off minutes as fast as possible, but, uh, I don't think any of us were really able to look up and, and see that at the time.

So we had all the ginger chews and Dramamine and different medications and, and knock-out toxins to try and pass out.

Um, but it was, it was tough.

We tried mint, prayer.

When picking products, technicians especially can also be watching closely for brand name extensions.

For instance, Dramamine usually contains Diamond Hydronate, but Dramamine Less Drowsy actually contains Meclizine.

So it has that age 12 and up limit.

And Dramamine Advanced Herbals actually contains ginger root, which, as we'll discuss shortly, doesn't have strong evidence behind it.

So we want to flag these for the pharmacist to help ensure patients get the intended product.

Now, these first-generation antihistamines work pretty well for preventing motion sickness, but keep in mind that they come with anticholinergic side effects, so sedation, dry mouth, confusion, and urinary retention.

If you have to go here to here, I can't do that because I would get motion sickness and literally grow up.

I'd have to take Dramamine to go to Six Flags.

Uh, we were at the park and my grandson was on the spinning thing and I was just spinning and spinning.

And she was like, why are you not throwing up? I'm like, I don't know.

And it explains how, when you're depressed, all your systems shut down.

And mine just happened to be my digestion because it's so much work for your body to digest stuff that it's putting its energy other places.

But, um, I did find this time around, uh, somebody suggested that I take, um, Dramamine ginger pills, and that did help some days.

but I literally just throw up stomach acid for months because there's no food in there.
