Might I suggest that your wife take the Bonine before bed? I also
experience the unpleasant Bonine side effects, but have worked around
them, by taking it right before retiring for the night. That way, I'm
sleeping through the (mild, compared to seasickness) nausea and
drowsiness. I wake up feeling fine, and the drug is still totally
effective (the dose lasts 24 hours).
