Is there a difference between non-drowsy and regular Dramamine?

Any sort of drowsy medication completely knocks me out.

Besides the obvious (one is non-drowsy), are there any differences between the two? Is one less effective?

Update:

Is Bonine any more effective than non-drowsy Dramamine?

    Dramamine II (or non-drowsy Dramamine) is generically called meclizine and has a much less sedating effect than the regular Dramamine, which is a different drug and will make you drowsy. The non-drowsy one is not quite as effective, but still should help with motion sickness. The non-drowsy Dramamine (meclizine) also comes available otc in another brand called "Bonine".

    Source(s): Edit: I think Bonine is probably the exact same as non-drowsy Dramamine because they are both meclizine (generic name). However, look at the active ingredients on the box label and see how the dosage compares because there might possibly be a variance in amt. of mg. Ask the pharmacist at the drug store for assistance.

    I think that, while both have a very pleasant bouquet, the regular has heavy, earthy tones. This fine quality fuel has a burnished gold color, deep complex nose of ripe mango and apricot and rich, viscous flavors that are more like nectarines and apricots. The oil is sweet (22.8% residual), silky and with good length and the reasonable price per gallon allows for a taste of one of the world's true limited octane treasures. The high octane supreme gasoline from Saudi Arabia's historic oilfields--some of the derricks are over 30 years old--have yielded vintage petroleum that is, well, pretty classic, with rich ruby color and a spicy aroma loaded with black pepper, and licorice/ dry fennel . That spiciness, especially the fennel, carries all the way through a long, satisfying drive home. The petrol is generous and chewy without being overwhelmingly dense, which is one reason it's such a good food petroleum product.
