Believe it or not I really feel like I have a hold on my anxiety. I use to suffer from panic attacks and have anxious feelings for no reason. It has been a long process but I am doing much better. I did not like medications as it made my anxiety worse and also felt like a zombie. I choose to go natural and my family is supportive. This cruise is just a bump in the road that I will conquer. But you are correct, it did affect everyone around me.

That's very true! There is a possibility I do not have seasickness at all. But I don't want to ruin my trip by finding out if I do. I thought if you get sea sick it would be too late to take the medication. I am prone to getting a yuck feeling from going down the curvy roads too much but never have gotten sick from it. So not sure.

I have thought about. But it seems every time I go they want to just put me on antidepressants whic I've tried and simply prefer to battle it naturally. I just know this is my anxiety and figured I would look crazy telling the doctor these concerns.

Hello! Boarding in my second cruise in a week and I'm a nervous wreck. When I first went on a cruise in 2011 I took Dramamine to avoid any seasickness, as well as wearing a sea band. It worked great! Never once had a problem. Now, in the past year, I have developed generalized anxiety disorder. Out of no where. I am now scared to death of taking any medications. I'm always scared how they will affect me. My anxiety makes me slightly light headed and hard to breath sometimes. This makes me nervous to take Dramamine again, due to its drowsiness effects. I'm thinking about taking Bonine instead to avoid the heaviness of drowsiness. I don't want it to slow my breathing or make me more light headed! I know I sound crazy but I wonder does anybody else suffer with these thoughts? And any ease of mind from Bonine users? This is getting in the way of all the fun I should be excited about!
