Long haul flight

[emirateslad]

Hi all,
I am new here and am a little embarrassed to post this

I'm a nervous flyer and can never sleep on a plane. I've been to my DR and she has prescribed me 12 x Valium 2mg. I’m flying to New Zealand next week and have 4 flights there and 4 flights back on the return in a months time. My question is, when should i take these and what are the feelings like when i have taken them? I have never taken these before by the way.

Thanks for your help

Perhaps try one a few days before you fly out so you know what to expect. I know it's good for people who have trouble sleeping. Other than that I imagine it just helps you relax and take the edge off when you're feeling anxious

Im not sure about valium, but for lorazepam, it takes 30 mins before it starts to kick in. And i fear most when the plane is going up or going down, so i probly will try to take my pill 30 mins before it goes up lol.

I feel the same way, I have a flight this Thursday and I'm freaked out. I will definitely have my xanax on hand and will take it 30 minutes before my flight....

I am also a nervous flyer. I liked valium for travel as I felt chilled but not out of it. i got worried about sleeping tablets as I like to have my wits about my when I am in transit. I fly from Australia to London often, and find Valium takes the edge off and i feel like its all ok and I cn sit and watch the movies and have a bit of a sleep as well.
