Hi rfs,
The Klonopin and/or Xanax, which Phillipa suggested, seem like the best solutions. When I was on Wellbutrin, I found it could make me very anxious, especially if I was already anxious about something else. I wonder whether lowering the Wellbutrin dose very slightly (just the dose you take before the flight) might help. Don't lower the dose unless you check with your doctor first.
What if you took along something to distract you, like a walkman with your favorite music?
I was also going to suggest working out before the flight, but if you're leaving early, you may not have time for that. Exercise helps to relieve my anxiety, but for some people, it revs them up more.
I think you're going to have a great trip. I would love to be in Florida now. I'd like to be there from now until mid-May.
Try to have fun.
Sarah
