girlsjustwannacruise Posted June 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2014 1st cruise I used only meclizine, had a few very rough nights, ended up sick one of those nights 2nd cruise i used meclizine in conjunction with sea bands, had some rough water but no problems with feeling nausea. 3rd cruise...same Was wondering if anyone has tried the motion eaze and if so, what was your experience. My son hates the sea bands and i hate to give him a pill every day, but he does need SOMETHING as he has a history of migraines and the rocking gets to him sometimes. For whatever reason, if he gets sick, he gets stressed and stress equals a migraine which equals more nausea... you get it. Mecliziine does help though.

SadieN Posted June 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Haven't used it but... If nothing else it will work by 'Power of Suggestion'. Placebos can be very powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffatsea Posted June 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I have never heard of "motioneaze" . I don't see any info on what is actually in it on the bottle?? Meclazine has always worked for us but you have to adjust the dosage to get the best results. I only take 1 pill a day but Mr.Riffatsea needs 2 pills! He takes 2 together the first day before the ship sails and then 1 morning and 1 evening on the rest of the days. When he only took 1 pill it did not work well for him.

JLee1973 Posted June 23, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Have you tried Bonine. Wife gets motion sickness and that works the best for her. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted June 23, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Bonine is just a brand name. The ingredient is Meclazine! It is also the same ingredient in Dramamine II the non sleepy version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is made from a proprietary Botanical Oil Blend [Lavender, Peppermint, Frankincense, Chamomile, Myrrh, Ylang-Ylang and Birch]. The only thing I can tell you is that I used it on my first cruise. But, it turns out, I don't need such things, so I stopped after a couple of days. I've read many reports of people being quite happy with it. I think it smells like eucalyptus.

lottsomom Posted June 23, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 23, 2014 My husband never goes on a cruise without it!! It works great with not leaving him feel tired like other meds. Plus, you can use it as often as you want. Keeps in his pocket at all times. You can get it at Walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked some up prior to my 1st cruise, used it on my plane ride down and it worked great... No problems Never had to use it on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMS MT Posted June 23, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I use the sea bands and chew ginger gum and eat candied ginger I buy at our natural food store. Meclazine makes me drowsy which in turn makes me cranky since I fight the drowsiness. Our first cruise the lady checking us in told me to eat green apples. I never tried it because I didn't really have any issues. Have never tried the motionease. Would be worth trying though. I like that it is natural ingredients.

fourkittys Posted June 23, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I bought this for our first cruise to Alaska and started out the first day or two using it. After feeling fine I stopped and was ok without it. I don't get airsick, carsick etc. so don't know if I really needed it or not. I don't believe I used it on the last few cruises but always had it on hand. Last Nov. we were on a B to B on The Niew Amsterday and sailed thru some pretty rocky seas and began feeling really funny. I decided not to take a chance about feeling worse so applied Motion Eze , took a short nap and felt like normal again. I will always sail with it and hope it works for you.

We are taking our grandkids, 6 and 8, on their 1st cruise this summer and I never heard of this, I just bought some as it's worth a try since it's natural and doesn't cause drowsiness.

SPacificbound Posted June 23, 2014 #14 Share Posted June 23, 2014 We use Bonine and ginger capsules, every evening before bed starting the evening before the cruise. Ginger capsules are at Whole Foods are health food stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear by Motion Eaze....I use it with Bonine. When and if I start to feel slightly ill, you put a small dab of the oil behind each ear. It is comprised of all natural herbs. The only negative to me, is the smell.....it does have a strong herby eucalyptus type smell. No one has ever been able to smell it, but I can after I "dab" it on....but I swear by it....it truly does the job for me each and every time. Try it, you have nothing to lose as it won't hurt you at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whogo Posted June 24, 2014 #18 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Ginger is the only natural remedy that I know of that is effective against motion sickness. motioneaze sounds like a placebo. My thought on medicines is that if there are no side effects, there are also no beneficial effects. If you think that "a proprietary Botanical Oil Blend [Lavender, Peppermint, Frankincense, Chamomile, Myrrh, Ylang-Ylang and Birch]" will prevent motion sickness, then there is nothing I can say that will dissuade you from spending your money on it.
