[Faunaki]

Hey,

I have a wretched fear of flying and am going home this summer with my hubby and baby. I have tried both ativan and clonazepam. Ativan seems much stronger but I don't like the way it makes me feel - I get very forgetful - and a little loopy. Don't wanna feel that way when I have baby with me BUT it does the trick.

Clonazepam seems much better - I tried it for a trip to Boracay and I felt OK but I wonder if it's strong enough to get me through a 13 hour trip home? When I take it I feel perfectly normal sans panic attacks.

What do y'all take? What makes you feel the best?

Thanks^^

I save up Vicodin for long flights.

All my friends take Xanax. I haven't tried it yet, but actually when I was at incheon I went to the Yak and asked for Dramamine and they gave me something which was fantastic! I actually wasn't afraid - very strange for me. Had an enjoyable flight.

Ambien are good too.

Gees, what happened to having a couple of beers before the flight? This thread should be about pharm-flight junkies.

^ Right, having a couple of beers is really helpful for someone who has a serious problem getting on a plane. If you don't know what you are talking about, then just keep quiet. You sound ignorant and you are making light of a real problem. Would you make fun of someone who asked about anti-depressants for depression? It's the same deal.

That alcohol crud just dries you out while the high altitude dries you out even more. Alcohol is no good around flying. They couldn't serve me enough non-alcoholic bevs on a long flight unless I was able to just pack on about 2 of those 2L bottles of water and 2 more of OJ. All to hydrate me and swallow good pills like aspirin, xanax, and ambien. Vikingdins are great if you want to have fun as they give you a narcotic intoxication if you only take them on rare occasion.
