flying anxiety

agathi

Dear doctor,

I am on citalopram 10mg since 2 weeks.

Would like to take something to stop panic and anxiety before flying.

Can I take xanax 0.5 mg every four hours for the whole day of travel? I have tried 0.25mg it doesn't do anything for me.

Or is Clonazepam better? What dosage would be appropriate for flying? I can ask my doc to prescribe.

Thanks.

There are no doctors in this forum. You have to go to the expert forums for that. Doctors do prescribe anti anxiety medications like what you describe (i.e. Xanax) for flying but ensure you do not self medicate. Why not ask your doctor about a specific prescription that you may need?
