This is a question Water, boats and all that floats

Scaryduck hasn't changed the question because he's away drinking on a boat. So.

I get seasick.
Very seasick. For someone who spends most of his spare time afloat, this could be a problem, but I keep it under control with Scopoderm patches and all is well. Unfortuately, supply of these little beauties is highly irregular (on prescription, unvailable, over-the counter, unavailable, on prescription ...) and in one of the unavailable phases I ran out in the middle of (a) a trip and (b) the Irish Sea.

So I went to see a nice sailing doctor in Peel (there is always a sailing doctor in any seaside town) and explained my problem. No problem, said he, and happily prescribed me something rather more powerful than the Stugeron / Kwells / over the counter stuff.

Being a good little chap, I read the patient information leaflet very carefully. And there I found, regarding the drug I had been given to prevent seasickness...

"Side effects. May cause nausea, dizziness and vomiting."
