Just to add to solutions here:
There's a drug called Gravol, available in Canada (not in the US). It's a sustained release form of Dramamine. I've had a lot of problems with motion sickness as an instructor (especially on Shenandoah, to the point where I won't instruct there ever again), and this has proven to be a great solution. Dramamine, even in low doses of the non-drowsy form put me to sleep. I suspect part of the reason for this to be that Dramamine is an immediate release form of Dimenhydrinate, so you kind of get hit with all of it at once. Another option I've heard of but haven't tried is the Scopolamine patch, which requires a doctor's prescription.
<-- Chalk one up to having puked in his own car with RJ behind the wheel
