Scopolamine patches are back on the market, and I see
them used often.  I would not go so far to say that
they should not be used by technical divers.  They can
cause pupillary dilation, especially if you touch your
eye after handling them, and they can cause drowsiness
plus some other peculiar central nervous system side
effects.  Better alternatives?  I often get a kick out
of this debate:  Bonine is better than Triptone is
better than Dramamine, etc.  Some people tell me the
sea bands (acupressure at the wrist) work well, as
does ginger for breakfast, and so on.  I agree with
the recommendation to get a good night's sleep, and
avoid a greasy breakfast.
