Guys, I've used Stugeron a lot and highly recommend it to all my crew when we go offshore. I take it for the first 36 hours or so at sea and then that will be it for the trip (that's just me though. I tend not to get seasick) The only time I've had seasick crew is when one guy didn't take it. I've also never had myself or anyone on board experience any side effects.
You can't get it in Canada or the US though. But, if's over the counter and relatively inexpensive in places like the UK and Bermuda. Best bet would be to find a friend or family member there who will send you some. Or pick up some when you're traveling. If not, the online pharmacies are probably fine. Get the 15mg dosage. Anything more than that is probably more than you need and might invite some of the side effects that people talk about.
