---- Microsoft Mail "Note" message ---- From: HeimannJ on Wed, Mar 17, 1993 6:00 PM Subject: Narcosis and seasickness drugs To: techdiver Honest, vomiting is not a fixation of mine. Unfortunately, I sometimes do it when on boats, and so take motion sickness drugs. These tend to increase my narc level to varying degrees. I personally find Dramamine (dimenhydrinate, I believe) to be particularly bad, and have felt confused and panicy from it at only about 100 fsw. I have heard that the scopolamine patch can be even worse. I find Bonine (meclazine) affects me only moderately at least down to 190 fsw, but lasts many hours and makes me feel awfully tired. Does anyone have experience with low narc motion sickness drugs? I've heard for example that amphetamines prevent motion sickness, and presumably would not enhance narcosis. Availability is a bit of a problem of course since they are schedule II controlled substances in the US. Of course there is the trick of taking a long acting drug like Bonine the night before and hoping the drowsiness will wear off by the time you hit the water, but then waking up at 5 AM becomes awfully hard.
