<p>I would suggest the Bonine approach, starting a few days early. I also get seasick and had a terrible reaction to the scopolomine patch. I am about 5’4 and I think the dosage was way too strong. It actually made me seasick and I had to have a shot from the ship’s infirmary to counter it. Then I lost 24 hrs. sleeping…not too excited to go on another cruise as a result, but I think I would have been fine on the Bonine which I used after recovering from the patch!! Alaska cruise, by the way…</p>
