Answers:
Dear Kelly.....I used to HATE flying. As a matter of fact I would become paralyzed with fear. The worst part was that I had to fly as a part of my job. I would self medicate with alcohol (even if it was an early morning flight) just to get on the plane. This wore me out. One day, at my doctor's office I told her about this. She prescribed Xanax XR. This is an extended release anti-anxiety medication. Today I still am not wild about flying but I don't have nearly the same level of anxiety. Oftentimes I don't even take the medication, I just carry one in my pocket and it is like my golden parachute. Just knowing that I have it if I need it helps immensely. best wishes to you
