Motion sickness: OTC medications that help with this are typically antihistamines . Choices would include Dramamine or Benadryl (diphenhydramine). If you were to seek the advice of the doctor, the scopolamine patch is a very effective solution to this problem. It might be worth investigating this option.

Meclizine: Meclizine is a good, safe bet that you can take OTC. Hope that helps!
