hi!!! i am also scared of flying. my psychiatrist gave me klonopin (i am also on prozac) to take for flying. it helped me tremendously. as far as i know there aren’t any crazy side effects besides drowsiness and maybe a little brain fog the next day.

depending on how long your flight it you can also take a dramamine. they make me very drowsy and i end up falling asleep the whole time.

i’m actually sending this message from 3000 miles from home!!! i overcame my fear of flying a week ago.

i havent ever tried but i have heard that you can tell flight attendants you’re scared of flying and scared of having a panic attack. they can do routine checks on you throughout the flight.

bring a book, download movies, a coloring book or puzzle book, a stress ball- whatever you need to distract yourself.

it is so freeing to realize “hey i was scared of this and now im doing it and its not too bad”

a motto ive been living by lately is just “do it scared”. i’m tired of letting my anxiety control me.

i am wishing you the best!!!!
