> I want to know how the flight went. I'm on prozac and I need to take something for flying as I have decided I should start flying again after staying away from it for a few years. I'm not scared it will crash; I'm scared of feeling claustrophobic and afraid of turbulence. All I want is to sit in my seat oblivious like a sack of potatoes.
Easy street. Get a short acting benzodiazapine like most doctors prescribe for these situations.
Suggestions: Xanax, Ativan, Valium.
You might feel sleepy but these meds will help you with the present anticipatory anxiety.
Also, try CBT therapy if you haven't already to help to see if you can minimise the need for medication.
Best Wishes. I've been there!
