so i hate flying more than anything in the world, and i have to fly to london. my dr prescribed me xanax bars. i think its 2mg?
heres my thing tho i only hate the takeoff. my question is....do i take it normally or do i break it up and put it under my tongue. also how long will it take for me to pass out in both those scenarios? i'd like to be asleep for the beginning of the flight, but i realize i actually have to get *on* the plane somewhat coherent XD

like i said im fine with the rest of the flight, just HATE taking off, its made me have to miss flights and leave the airport in a total panic mode.
also how bad is it to do a few shots, my dr said it can kill u.
pls help
im sorry if this is in the wrong area :/
 
If you have no benzo tolerance, 2 mg of xanax will knock you out indefinitely. I'd avoid drinking, esp if you have never taken a benzo before. You will (no doubt at all) black out if you drink. 100%

Xanax is a very, very fast acting benzo. If you hate taking off, but need to be coherent for security and all that, I'd just wait to take it once you're in your seat. You normally board planes about 20-30 minutes before take off, and if you sit down and get situated then pop the xanax, it'll start working within 10-15 mins. If you don't fall asleep before take off, I'm willing to bet that the 2 mg will treat you really nicely and you wont have any panic whatsoever.
 
ty guys

ok i will take it when i get in the plane (if i havent collapsed from fear LOL)
 
I would take it as you are boarding or even a little earlier just in case as you want to have definatley started feeling it before take off starts, better safe then sorry. Welcome to bluelight as well, have a great night :)
 
Riding in a plane is considerably safer than driving in a car.
Especially if the driver's taken too many xanax...
OR shots...

Guitargirl: Maybe you could take half a bar pre-flight..
other half once you make it to your seat?

Welcome & Good luck!

thanks guys

do you think it will have worn off when its time to de-bark (about 10.5 hours later)? i want to be able to enjoy the city! thank you so much for your responses :)
 
Alprazolam is a very short lasting benzodiazepine.

You should be fine. The flight will likely be longer than enough so that when you land, you'll be ready to enjoy London.

2mg is a high dosage though, keep that in mind. If you have at least a week before your flight, try out 0.5mg to see what four times that is going to do to you.
 
Welcome to BL!

Another suggestion is you can break up the doses as you go thru the airport. So as you arrive at the airport (anxiety is starting to build) take .5 mg. As you proceed thru security and all that biz, take another .5 an hour after initial dose. Then right as you are about to board take the final 1 mg. By then you should be fairly benzo'd and feeling sort of like a tired robot. Find your seat on the plane, sleep. :)

Any other questions feel free to ask :)
