Luke -
How did you feel when you were on the boat?
Hope the Verapamil works out for ya; I want to go travel (extensively) again eventually, but I fear I may have the same problem as you with motion.

Nice to see you are doing better Scott - thats what I like to hear! Good luck with Paxil too…
I still have an odd rocking sensation top day after being on the boat - biazzarly I felt fine on the boat and had taken motion sickness pills (stugeron). That said I went on another boat a few weeks before that and was totally fine except it was for a shorter duration.
Its the pits when you seem some light at you are back in the darkness again.
I’ll crack on with Verapamil and see what happens!
Scott – Just a word of warning on the Paxil: Not everyone reacts this way, but Paxil can have some really nasty side-effects. My mother was on it for over a year, and she essentially lost all sense of social awareness and inhibition. It was as if she was a very calm, easily distracted child. She later said it was like the drug walled off all of her emotional experiences, not allowing her to process what she was feeling, but simply making her think she didn’t care about anything at all (I can attest to this – she was sort of a non-entity at my wedding). When she came off of it, all of the experiences of the last year crashed down on top of her, and it was pretty overwhelming. Again, this sort of reaction to the drug doesn’t happen with everyone, but it might be a good thing to read up on the possible side effects just to be aware of them.
Scott,
Good luck with the Paxil. I think we discussed this already (but my memory is a bit foggy 
) but I was on Aropax in the mid 90s (I think it’s the same thing - paroxetine?). It made me really agitated and almost aggressive and with woeful insomnia. I then was prescribed Prothiaden to help. The nasty symptoms settled within a couple of weeks.
