I ordered some through canadadrugsonline.com last week to prep my kit for Pacific Cup in July. 25mg...so I will have to see how it affects me. I've used Scopalamine patches and they work, but I am not in love with them and if it's really rough, I still get woozy doing anything below. $29 for the 100ct pills and $10 for shipping. They are sourced from India. I'll have time to mess around with them and see how they work.
