Antimo is a medication to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion/travel sickness sold in Indonesia. You can try to find the same kind of drugs sold in your country. Some friends also suggested drugs, such as Dumolid, Lexotan, Calmlet, Frixitas, Xanax, etc. The problem is that these kind of drugs are classified as psychoactive drug. Those drugs will give you psychedelic sensation if consumed with alcohol beverage. And that's why you can't buy them without prescription in any certified drug stores in Indonesia. These kind of drugs can be consumed if you're having anxiety impeding your sleep. Another alternative is Melatonin. Melatonin is one of drug that is specifically made to handle insomnia. Melatonin is kind of new drug. So, it doesn't have that many medical record.
