Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / April 2004Best Drug to Remove Fear
I have several phobias, one of which is flying. I thought of taking Xanax, but I don't think that's gonna do it. Seven beers might, but that'll make me too dizzy. Do you have any suggestions for a drug that removes fear, or makes you not care? I think it was Fulton Sheen who said: Why are you afraid of flying? Do you think if God wants to call you home, he has to crash an airplane to do it?

I'm not sure how it works, but there is something about the artificial atmosphere that will react with it and screw you up. Xanax will work if the dose is large enough. Any benzo will work if the dose is large enough. > Trust me. You don't want to get drunk before going on a plane.

Triazolam in particular is noted for its ability to induce retrograde amnesia so you don't even remember the experience. Or I've even heard some people even just taken enough Benedryl or Gravol to basicaly knock themselves out during the flight. > > I have several phobias, one of which is flying.

Seven beers might, but that'll make me : too dizzy. Do you have any suggestions for a drug that removes fear, or : makes you not care? How far are you flying? From where to where? Emma Basically the fear is not being in control, and the fear of the aircraft falling out of the sky. Firstly, there is a backup system in all aircraft called the pilots. Most LNAV/VNAV/AT glass cockpit flight systems nowadays have 3 other backup systems, before all fail, which has never happened. Even if it did, that is what the pilots are there for, who can fully control a plane without the passengers even knowing. WHat you should do is go to a phobia class at your airport before you fly. These classes are usually free, and are lectured by pilots. Most people that go to these classes come out feeling relieved, and have no problem flying afterwards. >: I have several phobias, one of which is flying.
