Bonine also comes in a children's size--much smaller dose-- which may be the way to go.
I never get sick behind the wheel but it's different as a passenger. The all time worst was the ride around Bondurant track in AZ our first thing on our first day in a 12 passenger van just to let you know how a big vehicle could get around the track with a good driver. Unfortunately, we were way in the back, had a really big breakfast of stuff I probably shouldn't have eaten and when we hit our second curve in the van van I new it was going to be bad day. I hung tough for a few hours but after the slalom course I was done. I spent half a day trying to recover and downed Dramamine before we went out the next day. This was a 3 day course, so if you get sick early, you could be out a bunch of $
Other things I try are to make sure I've got a relatively full stomach and keep some ginger ale handy. |
Bonine can cause drowsiness too. All I'm saying is that I wouldn't be comfortable if I knew someone sharing the track with me was on such a med. I'd be even more uncomfortable if it was my instructor and I was getting a ride with him or her.
