User Comments about Dramamine
02 Aug 2011 What's nice for me about dramamine is I take it for the fact the it helps against motion sickness and it makes me drowsy. This is especially nice for long car/plane rides.

12 Jun 2010 Dramamine helps me handle travelling in cars and trains better - I get motion sickness very easily. This relieves my nausea very quickly

02 Mar 2010 It is good to take before going on a boat if you get seasick. It is good for other kinds of motion sickness as well. It makes you extremely tired.
