I hate flying and get terrible anxiety days before I have to fly but it’s always the worst the day of and when I’m actually on the plane. While I have flown quite a bit the only way I can get through it is with copious amounts of alcohol. With the recent issues of obnoxiously drunk people on planes I talked to my doctor who prescribed me .5mg of Ativan for my upcoming trip. Now I’m nervous about taking that for the flight since my SO keeps telling me about the harmful effects of benzos and addiction. So now I’m stuck trying to decide whether to use my current coping mechanism of alcohol or try the prescription. The flight is from Los Angeles to Chicago with a layover in Denver. Thanks for the help!
