Does Dramamine work??!

Does Dramamine work??

Ok, I am 13 and am going to Cedar Point with my choir in a few weeks ((early may))
i have dramamine handy but I have heard that it can make you drowsy ((i have the original, not the non-drowsy))
I don't know if it is the same for everyone or not.
but i don't know if it would be good to take for my motion sickness on roller coasters with big drops and spins ((my friends are big roller coaster riders and I hate to be the one that is left to watch the things while they go on.. 'that's what happened to me last year')) soo
for people that have used both dramamine and bonine, which do you think works the best??
and dramamine users, do you find that it makes you drowsy??
thank you, your answers are much needed!!

and please just to clear things up... I love roller coasters this is not a peer choosing for me, i love them just my stomach cant handle them

well if going on a roller coaster i dont like want to be sooo drowsy that i get knocked out, but i doubt that will happen just a thought... lol

You're young and you don't drive, so it should be fine for you. It works great for me, but I don't tend to get drowsy after taking any kind of medicine anyway. I always take non-drowsy, though, whenever I know I'm going to have to drive later, just in case.

Really, though, I've never met anyone who got drowsy taking the original until after they've run around all day. If you still feel like you don't want to take the chance, go ahead and invest in the non-drowsy, but either formula does wonders for motion sickness. Really makes a difference.
