Is there anything besides dramamine (dimenhydrinate) i can take for air sickness? flying-or more specifically, the descent-always makes me nauseous.

Yes: Antihistamines have been used for years fo motion sickness . There are several that are used. Also scopalomine, in patch form may be effective. Consult w your dr. For the one that's right for you!

Many options: 1. Consider ginger 500 mg-1, 000 mg before flight. 2. Prescription antinausea medicine zofran (ondansetron) works well and does not cause drowsiness. 3. Scopolamine patches are a bit drastic (last 72 hours unless removed) but do work 3. Minimize air sickness: sit over wings on plane for smoothest ride, eat lightly, avoid alcohol, avoid reading, keep eyes closed and meditate or listen to music.
