motion sickness

I tried a search and didn't come up with anything.

I'm looking for ideas on dealing with motion sickness. Short flights (1-2 hrs) I can usually handle but longer (4-6 hr), I seem to loose it.
I've tried the arm bands with miniumal results, dramine doesn't do much. I keep hearing about the patch but have been told they no longer prescribe them in the US?????
Unfortunately, this is not a new issue for me, as I've had car sickness since I was a young child. Now I do all the driving to avoid the problem. Dh doesn't mind. : )

I flew DTW to SFO almost 2 yrs ago and had a HORRIBLE time. Nothing I could do stopped the sickness.

We're flying as a family of 6 from DTW to PHX in Dec and I don't want to lose two days after arrival being sick. OR not be able to help with the 2 yr old and 7 yr boys. (Thank goodness the other two are 13 & 11 yr old well behaved girls.)

Any ideas appreciated.

Rhonda
