Question of Queasiness

[bunn]

Can anyone recommend a non-drowsy sea-sickness tablet that is available to buy in the UK? Philmophlegm had some really good ones in Iceland, but we don't know the brand, and a local pharmacy says no such things exist.

Well, the people who gave him them did *say* they were 'non-drowsy' and they seemed, frankly, to have a pepping-up effect so that not only was he not drowsy, he was popping all over the place like a jumping bean, guzzling hot chocolate and cinnamon buns like there was no tomorrow. I speculated they might have caffeine in.

I have already asked the whalewatching company on facebook if they could possibly tell us what was in their Magic Pills, but they are maintaining a distant Icelandic silence.

Ah yes, those "fun" situations where they mix slightly stimulating and slightly sedating psychoactive substances and then cross their fingers and hope for the best that it'll average out about right, but could leave you zombied or wired.

OTC cold remedies are a real nuisance for that kind of thing.
