[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH had a really bad flight over last Thanksgiving which had triggered anxiety over flying. he’s always had bad motion sickness, so flying was never easy but doable.

He’s been prescribed Xanax for upcoming flight. He has physical symptoms (heart palpitations & cold sweats) just thinking about it. Dr said no to beta blockers (with asthma)

He’s thinking taking 1/2 pill before driving to airport (2hrs prior) then 1 pill when boarded. 
He is 5’9 , 160lb - does this timing sound right?

After 4 hr flight, he has to drive rental car.[/quote]

"He’s thinking taking 1/2 pill before driving to airport "
"After 4 hr flight, he has to drive rental car."

Is this a freaking joke? He needs to hire a car or take a taxi. You can't take a xanax and drive let alone 2. You didn't even say what mgs the pills are. Unbelievable! [/quote]

If they are the lowest dose he most certainly won't be so out of it as to not be able to drive. [/quote]

If he's new to this drug, I would not trust him to drive, and neither should he. You should only drive on a sedative medication after you're familiar with how it affects you and what your limits are (ie. after many times of taking it). I personally also get anxiety and insomnia knowing I have to drive somewhere out of the usual. Please hire an Uber or taxi for him OP. [/quote]

That I agree with. He should test how it affects him before the flight. [/quote]
