I believe dramamine is the same thing as gravol and I took some (2 pills) along with the Lexapro I just started b/c I was very nauseous. It kept the nausea at bay but I felt so out of it...kind of dizzy/weird thing going on in my head. So I reduced it to 1 pill the next night and it wasn't too bad. Today I am still feeling nauseous and I am wondering whether it was the dramamine or the lexapro itself that was causing that weird feeling. I'd like to take dramamine again to keep the nausea at bay but I don't want it to wack me out either (I have a big day tomorrow). For those of you who have used it, does this sound familiar or was it just probably the lexapro adjustment? Thanks.

You can call just about any pharmacy and talk with a head pharmacist and they can answer questions like that.

I actually use Gravol to help me sleep on long car/plane rides. The Gravol bottle I have says it can cause drowsiness and you shouldn't operate machinery while taking it (ie: don't drive).
When I want to be awake and not get nauseous I use Gravol Ginger tablets which don't make you drowsy as it is just ginger. Maybe look for ginger tablets or try ginger tea if you are feeling nauseous.

gravol makes me really tired, as in my eyelids start to close on their own, but i am really sensitive to medications, as K2 said, ginger tablets, pills, candied or tea are great ideas, so is nux vomica, which is the homeopathic help for nausea.
