When AF pilot trainees get motion sickness, we give them scopalamine patches, but they have to take an amphetamine (dextroamphetamine) to counteract the drowsiness. SO, all that said, just take one of the above meds and just realize that it is going to make you tired and pissy.

Good info. doc.
I hear too many people complain about taking dramamine, bonin, .... and saying it makes them sluggish and tired. Get sea sick once, and you will be begging to just be "tired and sluggish".
And to those who do not get sea sick and do not have to take this stuff, ya'll are truly blessed. I love to fish offshore, but it is like gambling every time I go!
