    dramamine

    Hi, Has anyone taken Dramamine ( a motion sickness pill) with IC? I was born with severe motion sickness!!! Seriously, I have always had it. I used to take it along with other prescriptions for motion sickness, but haven't traveled in a while since I never feel like it with IC. Thanks for any help.
    Diagnosed with IC in September 2010, after suffering from chronic UTI's. I suffer from pretty bad insomnia as well.
    Prosed in the beginning of diagnosis. Cysta- Q helped heal my bladder.
    Amitriptyline (discontinued now, but was very very helpful), and Macrobid to maintain pain relief and get some sleep. Prelief and Marshmallow Root capsules/ or tea leaves, daily to maintain pain relief.
    Lyrica and Pristiq to maintain bladder urgency and help with nerve pain and sleep.
    IC diet is my life now. Stress reduction is a MUST to survive this illness.

    I don't take dramamine, but I have had vertigo and when it hits I do take meclezine with no bladder problem.

        I have taken the non-drowsy version of Dramanine and Bonine for cruises. They do not bother my bladder at all and a lot of other things do.

          I have taken dramaline but that was before my diagnosis of IC. They help alot with sick stomach.

            I don't get motion sickness but have tried the following to calm my nerves on long flights. I've used Bonine but it's a non-drowsy med (as least for me). I've used ginger tablets (be careful if ginger causes flares) and I've use Klonipin. Klonopin works best but it doesn't work on the inner ear issues that you might have. My ex had severe motion sickness and I was told it's due to an inner ear issue. Bonine and ginger combined worked well for him.

            Also, I use a medicine called promethazine for migraines. It prevents vomiting. And it makes you sleep. It works well for IC as well but my doctor has not given me the ok to use it nightly. So I use it once in a while. You might want to consider that if vomiting is an issue.

            Also, there are some natural treatments such as pressure point wrist bands (I believe they are called Sea Bands) I used them when I was pregnant to help with nausea. It's something you might want to consider. (though it depends on how bad your sickness is)

            I know this post is old but wanted to give a response in case others looked.

            Diagnosed: 2011 - have had symptoms for over 20 years. Diagnoses so far: Overactive Bladder, then IC, and now Myofacial Pelvic Pain Syndrome.

            Medicines: For IC am doing PT, and will be taking Gabapentin, Ativan, Tramadol and Ambien. Ice packs and drinking vanilla shakes help. Foods that cause a flare, tomatoes, yogurt, coffee, soda, all sports drinks, and most teas. Take Verapamil, Naproxen (as needed), Omeprazole, Frova (as needed) and receive Botox shots(every three months) for migraines. For allergies I use Claritin and Flonase. (Feel free to ask me any questions about meds.)

            Other conditions: Migraines, allergies, mild IBS.

                Re: dramamine

                Strangely enough, I sometimes take dramamine when I'm in a flare because it helps my pain tolerance. Also, I have tried sea bands when actually nauseous and they do help me.
