I would rather take a beating than use Scopolamine...
Make sure you are not drunk or hung over and eat a big breakfast. Avoid acidic stuff like OJ and sugars. If you feel queasy stay out on deck. Stay away from exhaust fumes.
Keep your eyes on the horizon.
If all else fails close your eyes and think warm comfortable thoughts... like eating cold greasy pork out of a dirty ash tray.

Why not do Dramamine? ALWAYS worked for me and others that I know use it.

I used one before because the Doc told me it was less drowsy than Dramamine. I decided to cut one in half, glad thing I did because my eyes were dilated and when looking up, I was hallucinating at morphing clouds in the sky.

When I remember, I take the dramamine the night before. I seem to sleep through the drowsy phase.

Working offshore and riding crew/work boats would get me every time. Get sick as a dog. Finally figured out that skipping the meal before the boat ride (empty stomach) and taking along all the saltine crackers I could carry, did the trick. Go to getting queasy, eat a few crackers..... no liquids!
That's what worked for me.
I found this out years later..... getting on a smaller boat, if possible, will solve the problem. Use to dive and would get sick on the dive boat. Dive instructor brought his smaller boat and I rode in it. No problem!

I use Dramamine the night before I go out on a boat. I used to never get sea sick, and then about 10 years ago while in FL on a deep sea fishing trip, it hit me and I've never been the same since. I did go out in Prince William Sound once on a bear hunt/fishing trip and it didn't bother me. Take me to Seward, different story.

I just did a trip for a few days out of Seward and most of the guys had issues with sea sickness. They took a medicine called Bonine that is over the counter and they swore by it. Even the captain took it. Apparently the key is to take it the day before. No drowsiness according to these guys.

I just got back from Alaska. Called my primary doctor before I left and he wrote up the prescription. No appointment required. Worked great for me but the weather out in Pelican was great last week.

That is how it works with those who have a primary care physician or a friend who is a physician. Any decent clinic physician should do the same, if You have been in their care for any length of time.

I havenāt heard many patients complain about the scop patch, but IM or IV (which you donāt have to worry about), it definitely can provide some ācentralā effects, dysphoria, etc. But the patches surely can work for rocking boat sickness.
