I've developed an extreme fear of flying over the last couple of years. I used to take multiple 0.25mg Xanax for mild anxiety during flights, but have since stopped taking that and switched to 0.5mg Klonopin. I don't take it for anything other than flying as I'm in Zoloft 25mg/day for general anxiety.
During my last flight, I took approximately 1-1.5mg Klonopin in hopes that I'd pass out before takeoff. It didn't work. I wasn't able to fall asleep, and I had very bad anxiety during the flight. As soon as any turbulence hits, my heart races, I swear, and just general anxiety symptoms.
I'd really like to pass out prior to takeoff on my next flight in a couple of days. Does anyone have any recommendations on how much Klonopin I should take, and when I should take it?
I also take oxycodone 10mg as needed for chronic pain. But I don't plan on taking it the morning of my flight due to obvious reasons of interactions. I also take cardizem 180mg 1x/day, but my doctor said it should be fine with that.
If anyone is able to give me some suggestions,.I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
