Hi all,
I haven't posted on here in a while. Feel kinda sad that I have to.
I changed jobs in january, took away all my stress and since about July or August been feeling super calm!
But I have to take an 11 hour flight to Los Angeles tomorrow, and it seems like I no longer know how to deal with feelings of anxiety. I'm freaking out way more than I should. This will be my 3rd long distance flight in 1,5 years and I've never had problems. But for some reason I'm feeling really anxious.
So my GP perscribed me just a few Xanax in case I need them. 0.5mg, but I was thinking of starting with just 0.25mg. He said the perscribed dose will have the same calming effect as 3 drinks, but I get hammered after 2 drinks :P So I was thinking of starting low.
I've never taken any sort of anti anxiety medication before, so I'm a bit concerned about it. Does it make you feel drowsy? And most importantly: how long does it last. Will it last my full 11 hour flight, or will I have to retake it somewhere during?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
