Okay, so DH and I are flying up to Buffalo tomorrow morning for our friend's wedding. The flight is only 90 minutes! I have NEVER been on a flight that short, and also it never usually matters if I am groggy when I get off the plane b/c I can sleep it out, but tomorrow I can't b/c we are going straight to the church!
I asked my pharmacist what she recommended I take/do. When DH and I flew to St. Kitts for our HM, I took 0.5 Xanax AND a 1/2 Bonine, AND I wore the wristbands, and I still got sick AND was all drugged/groggy til the next morning!!!
I seriously don't know what's worse - getting sick on the plane which may or may not carry over once we get off the plane, or being groggy for the wedding, which may or may not even work against the motion sickness anyway!
GRR! What should I do?????

I did eat breakfast in the morning, I had a bagel w/ light butter and coffee (I had to drink coffee - I would go thru caffeine withdrawl otherwise LOL). I took a 0.5 Xanax and wore the wristbands. I had also purchased from Trader Joe's Ginger candy and a small package of Ginger Snap cookies that I took with me.
I was fine the entire flight til the last like 5 mins, when I got sick The good news is, as soon as I was off the plane, I felt fine! The ginger candy is THE most disgusting thing I have ever tasted LOL! It was literally SPICY and I don't do 'spice' The Ginger snaps were okay but by the time I felt myself getting sick, it was too late.
Coming home yesterday, I took the same meds and wore the wristbands, and again I ate a bagel and coffee and I was fine!!!!!!... well, fine in the fact that I didn't physically get sick, but I still didn't feel 100%.
I truly am going to look into the patch for behind the ear, b/c I can't take this anymore! Thanks for all your help and advice, girls!
