Sickness: it just depends why you are getting sick. is it related to vertigo or BPV . If it is then stemitil 5 mg there times a day may help. If it is pregnancy related you make want to talk to your doctor regarding other options like metocloperamide and ondansetron. If it is migraines then other additional measures may be required. Discuss with your doctor the specifics of your situation please.

Find the cause!: There are multiple reasons why one gets "sick to the stomach" hence its important for you to find the cause why you are having these symptoms. Stemetil is the symptomatic treatment it will not get rid of the cause. Hence request your doctor to pursue further as you are having these symptoms frequently. Get to the root cause that will help you immensely.

Should be enough: That's an appropriate dose, it should work for well for you. If it doesn't work you can have your doctor try you on a different medication.
