I can't travel as a passenger in a car either. I'm usually fine if I drive but need to take a container with to ride... especially in the back seat! Makes travel less than fun.

They don't make me sleepy at all. That's why I like them so much. Dramamine makes me really sleepy and spaced out, so I really avoid taking it unless there is no other option. It takes me a day to clear my head after taking Dramamine, so puts a damper on the trip.
I really can't feel much of anything from the scopalomine, I just don't get motion sick. I have thought that it might make me a little more thirsty than usual, that's the only thing.
Sounds like you might be a little worse with the sickness than I am, and I thought I was the worst. You wouldn't want to use the patch all the time, I wouldn't think, but for a trip, I'd definitely suggest giving it a try. It has made my life more pleasant.
