Default Travel Sickness Pills?

Does anyone know of any good travel sickness pills that also make you a bit drowsy? We are sitting at the back of the plane, so might be in for a bumpy ride Also want to have a nice sleep, so a tablet that will do both will be just the job

I've used Kwells in the past also, and they certainly make me feel drowsy!

They don't me. Mind you, they don't stop me wanting to heave either

My boys (10 & 8) were really ill on the flight to Oz. So on the Flight back home they took 'Kwells' and whether it was mind over matter or the fact that they worked i'm not sure.....all I know was that they weren't sick and felt much better

Hope it goes well x

Just interested to know why the back of the plane may be a bumpy ride as opposed to the rest Haven't flew for a couple o months but the last i remember all the plane took off the ground ! One thing good about being at the back of a plane is it's a well known fact planes don't reverse into mountains
Good luck and enjoy the flight See you soon hopefully

Was at the back last time Bobby and it was bumpy in parts and I felt quite sick! But that could have had something to do with the quantity of alcohol I consumed Chose the back again so if we hit a mountain, we should be ok

I feel sick more because I'm a very nervous flyer, not through motion sickness or anything. I took valium when I was last on a plane and think I'll be doing the same the next time....although not flown to Oz yet so god only knows how I'll be!

I use Avomine because it is longer acting than the others - it says it makes you drowsy on the box but I am always asleep anyway so it makes no difference to me.

The best things I ever had were Scop patches but dont seem to be able to buy them anywhere now.

Don't make you drowsy, but Root Ginger tablets are good for travel sickness. You can get them in Holland & Barratt....

Anita finds that Stugeron (or anything with Cinnarizine) makes her sleepy...kept her quiet all the way from Sydney in September
