A member asked:
I have to take a 3 hour flight, but i'm extremely phobic of flying (agoraphobia in general). what's the best benzo for this situation? xanax? ativan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fear of Flying: The lack of control that flying can trigger is certainly uncomfortable. Rather than using medication, which is one possible alternative, consider utilizing clinical hypnosis and self-hypnosis training. See www.asch.net for licensed professionals who are trained in this modality. Peace and good health.

Any better med for sedation other than benzos? I"ve tried xanax, (alprazolam) klonopin, & ativan. none work great on me but i've never had more than 1mg of each
