Pick up some Bonine at Long's, Lynn. Doesn't make ya as sleepy as Dramamine. And take it an hour before you get on the boat. Unless it's winter storm seas you should be fine as long as you're not one of those who is prone to motion sickness even in cars and planes. Also, you might want to test whatever 'pill' you get before boat day just to see how you react to it.

Correct. And since Auntie is already on various medications, she should definitely check with her doctor before taking anything, even the over-the-counter seasick meds.
And Auntie, when you talk to your doctor, ask him about Scopalomine for the seasickness.

YES! Good point. I'd completely forgotten about Auntie's other meds. Thanks, LN.

ask him about Scopalomine for the seasickness.

Be warned, however, that Scopo patches can REALLY make you wiggy; do NOT ingest alcohol if using them.

Of course, alcohol will often intensify seasickness anyway.

Look around the pharmacy and see if you can find generic over-the-counter Meclazine; same anti-emetic medicine as Bonine, but cheaper than the brand name product. Good stuff to have around the house for any incidences of nausea.

To be fair, we should point out that only a small fraction of people have that adverse reaction to Scopalomine.
(Otherwise, lots of people would take it just to get "wiggy"! )
We should also point out that ginger is reportedly a good cure for seasickness. And there are wrist bands that one can wear which allegedly work through pressure points.

Look around the pharmacy and see if you can find (...)

Again, I warn folks that if you're already on other medications, you must check with your physician first.
