With a international flight soon, i will try to get ativan for the flight. to sleep good while there, would 1-3 mg of melatonin or sonata (zaleplon) be better ?

I would start with: Melatonin taken about two hours before your desired bedtime. If that does not work, you can use 10 mg of sonata (zaleplon) if prescribed for you and in this situation i write may repeat x 1 if you wake up and have at least three hours of sleep time left, so you can take another and go back to sleep within about twenty minutes. Have a great flight and a happy new year.

Ever try Propranolol: Propranolol is prototype beta blocker used to treat anxious conditions including phobias (eg. Fear of flying, stage fright, fear of public speaking, etc.). Would recommend a small dose trial if no contraindications (i.e. Check with your doctor) before necessarily going to benzodiazepines such as ativan (lorazepam). In some patients melatonin works well but dose sometimes needs to be higher than 3mg.
