Do you take drugs?.......

[birdiesunshine]

When you fly? I do. Usually Xanax unless it's a night flight, then I have a couple of drinks to calm my fear of flying. How about you?

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

No way. I love flying!

 

[robinb]

Nope. I have no fear of flying and neither does my 6 year old DD. If you hear a little voice yelling "Go! Go! Go! Go up in the air!" at take-offs or "Hit the brakes!" at landings, that would be us.

 

[Cruisin]

No drugs needed here.

I love to look out of the window when I fly.

For my very first flight I did, but it didn't do a thing for me. I just try to relax myself. Since all but one of my trips were for work I couldn't drink even though I wanted to. But it probably would have taken a few too many drinks and a whole lot of money getting those drinks in order for them to do me any good.

 

[CLynnJones]

Yes Xanax for me as well AND a cocktail. I'm a very nervous flyer!!!!

 

[allie&mattsmom]

No drugs when I fly but I like a couple of cocktails! No matter if it's a early morning flight, bloody mary will work just fine !

 

[tevagirl]

Yep. Have Xanax, will fly.

I'm not exactly a good flyer, but I'm hoping to get better at it...especially when my hubby goes to work for one of the airlines.

That is, if he gets the job. His interview is tomorrow...

 

[poohandwendy]

No, I love to fly.

Good luck to your DH. I hope it's not Delta!

Don't fly or go to the gynecologist without a xanax.

 

[twojo21]

i take dramine for motion sickness.

 

[Chris2597]

I am a very nervous flyer but I am getting better.....I have on occasion popped a xanax to calm my nerves before getting on a flight. I feel so out of control of my environment on an airplane.

 

[Dakota_Lynn]

I LOVE to fly, so no, I don't need anything to calm my nerves while in the air. I have thought about taking a sleeping pill when I fly to Denmark next year, though. I would much rather sleep though that long flight if I can!

hi all,
i was never scared to fly.but after sept 11,i was terrified to get on a plane.we went to vagas in june 2002.my doc gave me valium 10 mg 2 pills.one 10 mg there and one home.well i took one 10 mg on the way to the airport,forgot i took it and in the airport and about 25 mins before boarding,i got a really bad migraine headache so i took 2 furocit pills.which are a pain killer with barbituate's.then on the plane the friends flying with us decieded to have red wine to celebrate this trip.so i had 2 glasses still forgetting all the pills in my system.end result I loved flying that day and i loved everything else too.the world was great!! . i was for lack of a better word stoned and very.this was the last time i took anything.it really does'nt bother me anymore it was just that first time after those events i had a problem with.have a great day all.

 

[Mysteria]

Nothing for nerves as I'm not afraid to fly. I do take something for motion sickness though.

Myst

 

[candmforever]

No drugs, but on this last flight, I had a drink and it helped. I've never been a nervous flyer until I started flying w/ my kids, and that, for soem reason, makes me very nervous.

 

[Pugdog007]

No. If I did I'd be addicted by now because I fly all the time. I do take Bonine for motion sickness though.

 

[ClarabelleCowFan]

Please don't mix any of these medications with any amount of alcohol - this is extremely dangerous!!
