In reply to Flying Anxiety and Prozac, posted by Laura Jane on May 6, 2001, at 12:28:02
Hi LJ. I too am terrified to fly. I used to have to get so drunk before my flight, that I was actually prevented by security from boarding once.(I don't recommend this) I find that 1mg of klonopin about 45mins before boarding allows me to relax enough to get through the flight & I feel a lot better when I arrive with no hangover. Ask your doc. Hope this helps. Take care.
PS Prozac can exacerbate anxiety for some folks.
> Curious if anyone's taken a med to help with flying anxiety while taking other meds. I am on Prozac. I have a severe fear of flying but have recently decided to try to overcome it. I think I'd be ok if I could be unconscious during the flight. Has anyone taken Xanax or similar for this? My family suggests having drinks but I think that would make me more upset. Thanks.
