I'm flying to china next week and I'm a really bad flyer, usually I get drunk but it's a 6am flight so that's not really an option.

Can anyone reccomend anything that will help me get through this? My doctor has said she will not give me Xanax.

    Does Benedryl knock you out? Someone I know takes Benedryl and sleeps the majority of his flights.

    That's an option. I had a panic attack on my last flight so I'm really nervous.

    Kava Kava Root. It's a natural supplement.

    I've never been on a plane. I'd probably need to be shot with horse tranquilizers to even get one lol

    Do I just take it before I get on the plane?

    Benadryl does both make you tired and helps reduce stress. It's safe too.

    Haha I've usually had enough alcohol that I don't care but it's a really bad habit and I need to change that!
