If you do take travel sickness pills (this goes for anyone), try taking them the night before. That way you sleep off the drowsiness and the anti-nausea works for 12 or 24 hours. I worked on yachts for 2 years and an old sailor gave me that advice just before I started. Makes sense when you think about it, and it has always worked for me.
Good luck with your flying, don't worry about the sickness thing - it will only return with vigour when you realise how much money you are spending, and how much more you can spend when you get around to buying your own plane
