Being sick

My sister has informed me that she gets sick every time she is on a plane or in a car, is there anything she can do to help with the sickness she is feeling?

For me, I use meclizine and it works great.

Is that the same as Dramamine?  (No sure of spelling...)  I get seasick, airsick, and I used to get carsick when I was little.  I HAVE to take Dramamine on flights or else I'll puke!  It knocks me out too, so I can go to sleep right away and not get scared as the plane takes off & gets turbulent.

No, they are not.

Oh, I see, Melissa...Dramamine is dimenhydrinate. 

Miranda, tell your sister to use meclizine if she DOES NOT want to be drowsy. 

If she wants to sleep on the trip like me, then take dimenhydrinate :)

Meclizine makes me really tired also.
