    I just bought some OTC anti-emetic, Dramamine, for the first time.I've never used any kind of anti- emetic before except for pepto bismol.I heard alot of you mention it, so i thought id buy it. I seen so many brands , and forms of taking them. I have yet to take them because the situation hasent arose luckily. I wanted to know what was everyones preferred method of taking anti-emetics. Which ones do you recommend,not recommend and what are the side effects? Im just scared to take them yet 'cause i'm not sure if i should. Sorry if anyone has asked this before.

    dramamine=makes me feel weird
    bonine (meclizine)= works great but I get REALLY sleepy about 12 hours after taking it.
    zofran= excellent! I tend to get constipated for a day or two afterward.
    Herbal motion sickness/anxiety pills= they have something called nux vomica in them. They are great, no side effects, but I don't know if they really work. I have never taken them when I'm feeling REALLY bad.

    I take prescription anti emetics. I take Metoclopramide and Stemetil and I also take Domperidone 3x daily. All of them are pills.

    The only available in Lithuania is reglan (tablet). It makes me very sleepy and I feel weird the next day, but it always works.
