I am going on a trip in the next few weeks and all i have access to is some Xanax. I usually always use Ativan but of course I cannot get in to get some....doctor all booked up. I have Xanax which i have never taken in the cupboard. Here is the dilemma. i am scared to death.....i can not describe the panic attacks i get when getting on an airplane...they are so bad I can get banned from the airline for acting like a psycho. Desensitizing has NOT worked. Ativan has always worked i take 4-5mg and i dont have a care in the world when on that plane....we hit a little turbulence and it is an adventure for me!!
What can i expect when taking Xanax for this trip? When should i take it and how much? If i take one today to test out their effect on me will they be less effective when the trip time comes? I mean a tolerance type effect? I take Klonopin now but it is and has always really worked half-ass for me. I still get bad anxiety.
As long as I am on the topic of Xanax. i have done some research on it. I read that it is good for anxiety related depression. I think a good part of my depression is from anxiety. Anyone used Xanax for this?
In my opinion i think the klonopin lasts too long and might aggravate a person's depression....what do you think?
What is Xanax good for and should i speak to my doctor about maybe switching? How likely is he to give it to me, compared to the Klonopin. I have heard that doctors do not like to give it out.
Well thanks for any help,
Bobbi
