My family is going on a vacation to Hawaii and I want to go. The thing is I can't get past the panic of having to be on a plane for a whole 6 hours stuck next to other people without escape. I think I'm going to freak. Since the flight is over water, they can't stop and let me off. I'm panicking just thinking about it.
I talked to my pdoc about it and he prescribed me two 0.5 mg clonazepam for the trip. That isn't even going to take the edge off, but he won't budge. A lot of alcohol might. I'm tempted to stay home but I know I'll regret it. I don't know what to do???? Help!

Can you sit with a family member?
I would do virtually anything possible to make that trip. Good luck

I agree with Christina. You'd regret it forever if you didn't make the trip. Use the Klonopin, it lasts longer than other anti-anxiety meds and may even make you a bit sleepy. Save the other tablet for your flight home. FWIW, I take it when I have to fly too. It helps relax me and I don't notice the claustrophobia as much.

I had to do something stressful before and my pdoc gave me Ativian. At the time I had never had it before so it did the trick. But I would have love to have had Klonopin. If you can don't miss your trip

We are going to Hawaii next month and I am not looking forward to the plane ride. What about taking Benadryl before take off? It's what our pediatrician said to give our kids before a long flight. They fall asleep and when they wake up we are just about there
Good luck
