Hivemind question:
Dramamine. I have a weird body chemistry when it comes to many meds, and my one experience with this one was that it put me into a coma. Is there a non-drowsy version that actually works?
Side note for those with pharmacology background: I had a really REALLY bad reaction to an anti-nausea drug in the Phenergen (sp?) family. Is Dramamine the same type of med?

Phenergan.

They're both antihistamines, but I'm trying to see how different they are.
Aha. They're both first-generation, but Dramamine's an ethanolamine, whereas Phenergan's a phenothiazine. So they are structurally different. And Dramamine is more commonly used and probably safer overall, anyway.
Both act as H1 antagonists, though, right? I probably wouldn't take one if I'd had a bad reaction to the other.
Hi Jen!!
Cashmere, I loved that link! So adorable.

Yeah, they do. I was thinking they might have different side effect profiles, but they both have pretty strong anticholinergic activity. Have you ever taken any other antihistamines before, Kristin? Or is it just Phenergan that's given you the bad reaction?
Thanks everyone. I'm going to try the wrist thingies. I appreciate the suggestion.
Off to crawl into bed.
Ginger (the food, not the Buffista) is supposed to be good for nausea. Maybe suck on some crystallized ginger?
Hi Aimée!!
My turn to say g'nite... So sleepy.
