[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had great success with a low dose of Xanax. I get 12 pills annually -specifically for severe anticipatory and in-flight anxiety.

I never drink with Xanax- follow my prescribed dosage exactly and never take more than two days in a row, ever. Sometimes I’ll get a migraine the first day I arrive - haven’t figured out if it’s med side effect or perhaps triggered by altitude/dehydration/stress/time change or combo of all!

I’ll offer a Xanax hack: works best/fastest for me on an empty stomach and dissolved sublingually. Bitter tasting but somehow the horrible taste helps mitigate the burgeoning panic (same as eating sour candy).[/quote]

Also need to add a note of caution: I have discovered that Xanax obliterates my memory in an unsettling way; I can’t recall many details of my flight yet I’m fully conscious, alert and engaged in-flight (I’ve read entire books, wrote and edited a speech, chatted with my travel partner) and otherwise feel sober, calm and “normal.” I’m someone who is hyper-aware and observant (likely why I’m prone to anxiety) with a sharp memory and wit. It’s scary to have zero recollection of an event but maybe this is how Xanax works?[/quote]
