Guest guest Posted September 30, 1999 Report Share Posted September 30, 1999 Dennis, have your employee sit towards the front of the pt compartment either on the bench or in the jump seat. Make sure they look out the front of the cab or avoid looking out. Should take something like sudephed before each shift. That helps keep the fluid out of the ear canal which is what causes motion sickness. If it is really bad they should take Sudephed and Dramamine the night before and in the morning before shift. It will go away with time. I hear they make a non-drowsy Dramamine. If they can not find any they should be careful about driving because it will cause drowsiness.
