One thing I have noticed Paul is that different people react
differently to different drugs. My wife (a non-birder) gets terribly
sea and air sick. After many years of suffering and experimenting with
different drugs and other supposed solutions she finally found that
works for her - Travacalm. But it makes her very drowsy and she
certainly can't drive after a plane trip. I take the same drug before
pelagics and have yet to be sick - and it doesn't make me drowsy
either.

So I guess those who suffer should really try again with a different
drug until they find one that works - assuming they are prepared to
suffer that long!
