Yes & probably: Many pts who are anxious about flying take a minor tranquilizer to cut their fear--i'd recommend trying it out before the trip to see how it effects you--you want to take enough to control your anxiety but not so much that you are druggy.

Anti-anxiety med.: Lorazepam is an older but effective anti-anxiety medication. Taking it under the recommendation of your prescribing physician can reduce anxiety due to air travel, claustrophobia, and other anxiety-provoking events.
