Insurance SHOCK

[darrsi]

I use Stugeron for motion sickness if I'm going to have to travel a long way by road as a passenger eg an airport coach transfer when I go skiing.

I also use them if I go surfing at The Wave pool in Bristol because when I'm being lifted up and down by the waves in the confined space of the pool the conflict between what my eyes are seeing and my body is experiencing tends to induce serious nausea :-(

Fortunately it doesn't cause me drowsiness unless I'm already tired, but the effects don't hit until after I get home, however while I'm in the pool I also do my best to keep my eyes on something on the horizon which helps avoid triggering the sensation.

Years ago I did have a virus that screwed up my balance, meaning that I could be walking along the road and suddenly start drifting off to one side, but, oddly, I was ok when cycliing.

I was prescribed something called Cyclizine which is an antihistamine that did a lot to relieve the symptoms, but, again, like many other such meds, it has drowsiness as a possible side effect.

Sometimes you just have to try different compounds and see if one works for you without the adverse effects.

The person who told me about Stugeron was a bit of a fitness freak and really looks after himself, and is constantly busy at work too, so i was shocked when he told me he'd had a stroke a few years ago, and one of the knock on effects had been vertigo.
I've no doubt they do exactly what they're supposed to do very effectively, and may have worked on me too, but I can tell you from personal experience that adding four more drowsy tablets to the equation is not a wise idea if you like functioning properly, but they are perfect if you want a guaranteed decent kip resembling a strong operational type anesthetic.
