I'm not exactly sure how you pronounce it but if you are feeling stressed out about school starting back or a wedding or basically anything this is a really good medication to help out with temporary anxiety. It is a prescription so you would need to discuss it with your general doctor.

My only experience with benzos has been with treatment of a specific phobia that the large hunk of flying metal I had to travel in would fall out of the sky...and it worked like a charm.

Glad it did for you. On my first flight, I took 2 before boarding and 2 mid-flight (on an hour and a half flight). I was STILL nervous as a long tailed cat in a room of rocking chairs. My friends were impressed I was still conscious. I wanted off that tin can!

I have been 70+ miles out in the ocean in a 22 ft boat in 10-15 ft seas and was never once nervous. It was so rough, I broke my foot while motoring out. I was tossed into the air, crashed into the deck, and still not an ounce of apprehension. Thought it was fun. If I even think about boarding a plane, my blood pressure skyrockets.

Last week i watched a girl drive off the road into a drainage ditch. I went down to check on her and she was in a stupor. Just staring off into the distance with music blaring. I was yelling at her to put her car into park. She finally did and I called the police. After I got off the phone with them I looked down to tell her to turn her car off and she was passed out! I went back to my car to pull it onto the side of the road. Came back and she was shaking like she was having a seizure. I was trying to get her to turn her car off, when she puts the thing into drive and takes it further into the ditch. I finally got her to turn her car off. I asked if she was on drugs and she said no. But that she had just taken 4 xanax. The police finally show up, and we walk back to the car and she has a lit cigarette hanging out of her mouth and had turned the car back on and was trying to drive. She yelled at us that she had run out of gas, that's why she's in the ditch and needed to go to the gas station to get some more. The police finally ended up arresting her and took her away. Crazy.

Yep. Control and having several minutes to contemplate falling 35000+ feet not to mention the abrupt stop at the end of the fall. No thanks.

Take off & landing are the only times to worry, if you insist on worrying. If you're gonna die, chances are it will be during the "critical phases of flight".

My first ever flight was from Chicago to San Diego, direct. The lady next to me offered me a Xanax before take-off. I was just like...

I could use a few when I'm in a car with a female driver, though.

Tell that to the Air France passengers that went down in the Atlantic a few years ago at altitude.

I know, you're right. Just doesn't seem proper to be off the ground.without feathers. On my last flight, we had a former Navy pilot that thought the regional jet was his personal F-18 and he was a modern day Tom Cruise back at Miramar, CA. I heard Kenny Loggins singing in my head from wheels up until the door opened. I wanted to throat punch him. Damn reinforced cockpit doors.

Bingo. I know part of it is the "control" thing -- I'm not even crazy about riding in the car with a friend who can't seem to keep it in the lane or passes on the right. But, there is that other nagging fear that something will happen with an engine or fuel line...and you can't exactly just pull over at 40,000 feet.

My first experience flying was on a school field trip. In a matchbox sized Cessna with a pilot who was 140 years old. There I was in the 5th grade with the thought passing through my head that I was going to be in the paper the next day when this pilot died in midair. Either as a hero for landing it, or in the obituaries.

Luckily they stayed away from the light long enough to land it.

Youse guys! Flying is probably the safest thing you'll ever do. I remember flying on a commuter from Alexandria, LA to Atlanta and they had a magazine on board with a story about a plane crash that was the exact same type of plane we were on. I loved it. As soon as the seatbelt sign turned off, I made sure I showed the article to everyone on board. They didn't seem to appreciate it.

I would shed most of the apprehension IF they would build emergency lanes to pull a plane into in case of mechanical problems.

I realize it's 'safer'. But, more people are killed by food allergies/year than snake bites. I would dare say more people have a fear of snakes than they do food. It's called a phobia because it is an irrational fear. If you would have shown me that article, in the state I was in despite taking 4 xanax, you or me one would have taken a butt whoopin.:) Then, I for sure would have went to jail for disrupting a flight. Cornered animals are dangerous, dude.:hi:

Most were amazed that I was functional much less still freaked out. I need the Mr. T treatment from the A-Team. Just knock me out completely, then wheel me on the plane.:)

Why did this thread get kicked out of the Pub into the Zone? They are the mellow xanibars over there.
