Default To much of a good thing is making me sick.

I've noticed that since my car handles so much better now than when it was stock that after :30 minutes of spirited driving on some world class roads I am about ready to loose my cookies. I feel so sick that it takes 3-4 hours before I start feeling better. Is there anything you guys take to settle a stomach before you go out for an aggressive drive?

Dramamine or Bonine should help you out.

Has anybody tried one of those battery powered wrist strap thingies? I only get motion sickness in extreme cases (like, eating a lot of cotton candy just before riding the Gravitron ) so I don't have any way to judge their effectiveness.

What did you just do to your car that resulted in the improvement?

I've also never heard of this problem affecting the driver. I thought the person at the controls gets a feeling for when the lateral forces are coming, so they subconsciously prepare for it... ?

That's just a little strange.... Usually motion sickness happens to those who are not in control of the motion; i.e. passengers on a boat or passengers in a car. Typically the driver of a car doesn't experience any problems because they cause the motions. You sure you're not just bragging??

Hondafan: What was mentioned above, about the antinausea device that you wear in the wrist....IT WORKS, let me tell you, I have used it in 2 patients (both on chemotherapy) and it really does control the nausea/emesis.
Go to their site, it's called the "relief band" I think you will need a doctor's prescription, if you do, let me know.
I would not take dramamine or antivert before driving the S in the twisties, you need to be as alert as possible, and dramamine may make you drowsy and slow your reflexes down a bit.
Cheers,
Daniel

You need a tamer car. I suggest you send the car to me and I'll lend you my Civic
