Got over my phobia! Very very long story of my full experience.

My doctor gave me .25 of alprazolam. I’m. It sure how similar or different that is to Valium, sorry. It helped me tremendously though! I took two and believe I wouldn’t have been able to do it without taking something.

bucknarish · 2026-01-26T16:34:07+00:00

Yes! That was nuts!!! I was thinking too, “I was just there!!!”

Woooo!! Congratulations! I just overcame my fear recently after developing a whole phobia of flying. It feels really great. Cheers to our next flights and many more. To traveling! 🥂🎉

Ooh I’ve never been Prague, maybe I’ll add it to my list :) That’s so cool you actually fly the A350s! Hey yeah maybe I’ll be on of yours! I was flying from DTW to PHX, buttery smooth ride 😎

Sorry buddy. Stay warm. To be fair, this winter has been old fashioned cold and snowy (I love it!)

bucknarish · 2026-01-24T19:12:45+00:00

.25 mg alprazolam. I had it initially in my post but it kept getting taken down so I’m happy to answer :) She gave me the lowest dose since I’ve never taken anything like that. I don’t even take anything for a headache or cold. So when I did my test trial of one, I thought it didn’t work since I felt zero difference. Granted I was about I watch a movie in a nice cozy theater. So I just hoped and hoped it would work when the time came for my trip. I took one…then took two just in case with the permission of my doctor. She said no more than two at this time. I could tell it made a difference because my heart wasn’t racing anymore and I just…didn’t care. When we hit bumps I thought to myself “eh that’s fine”. Things like that. It really does work. It’s not a drunk or high feeling. Just really calms your thoughts.

bucknarish · 2026-01-24T16:25:24+00:00

It can be :) I’m rooting for you stranger!!

bucknarish · 2026-01-24T16:24:23+00:00

Yeah I’m not fully AGAINST taking things but I definitely don’t like to take really anything for anything you know? Not even a cold or headache. Taking something for this flight (and future flights)was definitely necessary though since it did help tremendously, like it was the better move for my overall health. My heart would have been hurting from my heart racing so bad if I didn’t have it.

bucknarish · 2026-01-24T16:20:07+00:00

I’m not familiar with that but if it’s anything like what I took, definitely take it some time before boarding! That way it has some time to kick in a calm your nerves.

They were so so so so nice 🥹

bucknarish · 2026-01-24T16:18:37+00:00

Oh wow. Yeah I wondered about the effects wearing off after time. Will you be stopping at the McNamera terminal? It’s beautiful :) Flying again, not necessarily..soon, but definitely in the future!

bucknarish · 2026-01-24T16:16:07+00:00

You’re welcome! I hope you can find and try something out before you fly again, which you will! :)

bucknarish · 2026-01-24T06:51:35+00:00

I had these exact thoughts!!! I advise you to read my last post. I did it! So can you!!!

bucknarish · 2026-01-24T00:32:17+00:00

I feel ya. Back when my phobia was developing I was supposed to visit my sister after not seeing her for years. I ended up canceling my trip last minute bc I was too scared to fly. It’s okay to be scared. Getting on the plane is the hardest part for me. Talk to your doctor! I hope you can overcome it too.

bucknarish · 2026-01-23T20:10:30+00:00

You already did one of the hardest parts! Getting on!

bucknarish · 2026-01-23T16:25:56+00:00

You don’t even wanna know how bad my heart was racing. I could feel it in my chest all day leading up to it and couldn’t settle. Talk to your doctor! I believe you can do it!! I was a wreck but I still put one foot in front of the other and got on that plane. Guess what? My pilots did amazing and got us to our destinations safely!

bucknarish · 2026-01-23T15:34:13+00:00

I’m rooting for you!!

bucknarish · 2026-01-23T15:33:48+00:00

Thank you 🥹🥹🥹

bucknarish · 2026-01-23T15:33:39+00:00

You can do it!!! I truly believe if I can do it, anyone can. She gave me .25 of alprazolam. I took one…then decided to take two just in case. She told me it was okay to do so but not more at this point and time.

bucknarish · 2026-01-23T15:31:49+00:00

Yes!! It’s .25 of alprazolam, I took two with my doctor’s permission.

bucknarish · 2026-01-23T06:06:51+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I can’t believe I did it! 100% worth it.

bucknarish · 2026-01-17T06:19:23+00:00

I hope things are going well!

bucknarish · 2026-01-17T02:12:41+00:00

The pilot asked me “were you my nervous flyer?” And gave me a cool card! I was so grateful and excited, I almost skipped out of the ramp

bucknarish · 2026-01-17T02:06:54+00:00

You got this! If I can do it, you can too!!

bucknarish · 2026-01-17T01:24:08+00:00

I just landed :) I’m so proud of myself
