I've always used Dramamine for long car rides and boat trips, but I'm curious about the side effects. Has anyone experienced anything severe? The drowsiness is usually fine, but I've heard some scary stories. I'm thinking of trying something else, but I want to know more about the potential risks. Anyone have good alternatives?

This thread is making me rethink taking Dramamine again. Maybe I'll switch to something else and see if it works better for me.

Dramamine works great for me, but the drowsiness can be brutal. I usually just take it before I go to bed and it helps me sleep through the night

I've used Dramamine a few times and never had any major side effects, just the drowsiness which can be annoying. I would say that the risk is worth it.

A friend of mine had a really bad experience with Dramamine. She started feeling really weak and dizzy, and then she had trouble breathing. She had to go to the ER, and it turned out she was having an allergic reaction. Be careful, folks.
