[quote=Anonymous]I was never quite so afraid of flying as you in the sense that I didn't avoid travel (although I chose trains whenever I could) but I can certainly relate to sitting there waiting to die. I'm mostly over it. First, I got on Zoloft -- relatively low dose but has been quite effective for me in reducing anxiety generally. Second, I take a Xanax 30 minutes before the flight. Third, I keep an airplane bottle of bourbon in my purse and drink it while the plane takes off. (Don't do this when a flight attendant is watching!) Then I do something mindless during the flight. I still feel somewhat nervous but it is not debilitating, and has gotten less over time. I've also tried meditating and reminding myself that planes are quite safe and everything is normal but my Xanax-bourbon combo is much more effective. :lol: [/quote]
