About Scopace...

Reading in a car - fuggedaboutit.

Yeh, close up work really gets me sick pretty quick.  Once had to perform a vasectomy while en route from Greece to Malta cuz the Director was flying out from Malta.  The seas were pretty calm, but just enough movement to make it real hard to nail that little bugger.  I was ready to puke by the end of it!

Now there's a visual.

Thanks Marmite, my Dr. already filled my prescription. I hope I don't have anymore
problem with this motion sickness thing. It seem every outing I get sick. That was
the main cause of me tipping my kayak over.

Thanks again,
Jed

I believe scopace has amphetamine in it (to counteract drowsiness, and because amphetamine is also effective in counteracting motion sickness), which is a big reason why it'd be Rx only and habit forming.

I'm okay on the motion sickness front, only took one dramamine before we piled aboard the islander.  But some of my friends have severe problems with motion sickness, which keeps them from the ocean on most days.  I've been pushing them to get scopace to deal with that, maybe I'll have to get an Rx for myself and hand them out to get them on the bandwagon.

I used to get seasick pretty easily, but I just kept throwing myself out there until it didn't affect me much.  IMO it's better to build up a tolerance than use a drug as a permanent crutch.
