airsickness prescription

Even very mild motion sickness can manifest as "Sopites syndrome", a nearly irresistible drowsiness that contributes to many "asleep at the wheel" accidents. Sopites syndrome can be about as bad as narcolepsy. .... The scopolamine pills allow one to tailor the dose to avoid side effects. Are you saying that scopolamine relieves Sophite's Syndrome? I had assumed that the only thing that Sophite's and motion-induced-vomiting had in common was "motion" as a trigger. I understand that no one really knows the detailed mechanism/pathway for either, but "Scopolamine relieves Sophite's".... really?? Or is it the placebo effect? Pure curiosity here as I suffer neither curse (so far). Sophite's is a very interesting thing.
