Im afaid of flying! is there anything i can take for my up coming trip?

Short acting drug: See your family physician, explain the problem, and see if he/she thinks that a short-acting anti-anxiety medication would help. Do not mix an anti-anxiety medication with alcoholic drinks before or during the flight.

Aero phobia : You can try a book written by a pilot for people with aero phobia or fear of flying. It is called the joy of flying by walter gunn. You can also try reading: stop obsessing by edna foa. Good luck.

Fear of Flying: A comprehensive course designed by a former airline pilot and clinical therapist can be found at http://www.Fearofflying.Com. As for pharmacologic treatment, short-acting benzodiazepines such as xanax, ativan, and valium are helpful, but only provide temporary relief. Limited temporary symptom relief can also be achieved with non-habit-forming drugs such as vistaril, benadryl, (diphenhydramine) and beta-blockers.
