You have used scopolamine before, so for you it is not an issue, but first time users are well advised to try it out ahead of time if possible. Some people find it makes them really dopey. I like to keep some patches on board though, for those people who insist that they won't get seasick.
The reason why you might want to take Dramamine or Gravol for a day or two in advance is that the active ingredient is a hypnotic (makes you sleepy) but tolerance to the drug's hypnotic effects builds up quickly. So after a few days of consistent administration at the recommended dose, it will not make you sleepy any more. Works for me, but I usually only start the day before, and apply coffee sparingly if necessary.

If one takes Dramamine, should it be taken for 1-2 days before heading out? I've used Scopolamine before and it was moderately effective, but i'll be going on a long rough passage on the outside of of Vancouver Island next week and was wondering about trying Dramamine.
