Re: NEED HELP

Tylenol PM?

Maybe you can get a Rx from your Dr. for Xanex or something like that.

Good luck.

Re: NEED HELP

I agree with Kim. I recommend some kind of calming drug prescription from your dr.

Re: NEED HELP

Go and talk to your Dr and he may be able to give you some thing to help relax you- I take an xanax about an hour before and then I really dont care what happens lol---jk talk to you Dr.

Breath and close your eyes put your head set on and relax

Re: NEED HELP

I was gonna suggest an ambien but then I remembered you are only on a plane for 5 hours. I would say take 1 tylenol pm. I like flying but I am not sure how I will be on a 12 hour flight myself!

Re: NEED HELP

Maybe you can talk to your doctor about taking a xanax. I use them for flying.

Re: NEED HELP

I would think xanex would help...or just have a few cocktails before you get on.

Youll be fine!!!

Re: NEED HELP

Do not take over the counter sleeping pills -- go talk to your Dr. and get a prescription.

sleeping pills work for people who aren't overly anxious. you need something different -- xanax is a good one and most doctors will give you a prescription for it when flying.

Just test it out first if you have never taken it.

Re: NEED HELP

I agree with the others-ask you dr. for somethng. I've gotten better at flying, but our honeymoon requires a 14 hour flight-and I will definitely be asking for a Xanax prescription.

After 9/11 I was super nervous and used to just take a benadryl for short flights. Knocked my butt right out! But then you may suffer groggy medicine head afterwards!
