Instead of using the patch, which can cause dry mouth and more severe
problems I heard, I have used wrist bands for sea sickness.  Two elastic
bands, one on each wrist with a "button".  The button in the elastic band
hits a pressure point on the underside of the wrist.  I went from the patch
before medication to the wrist bands for sea sickness, it works!  I live in
Southern Calif. & picked a set up for around $15 at a scuba/dive shop.  If
you need more information on purchasing this product, let me know.
Good luck,
