"i am a nervous flyer and my anxiety has been getting particularly bad, so i decided to go to my family doc and get a prescription. my doc gave me ativan and said to take 1 mg 1 hour before the flight. i took 1 mg exactly as she told me and then another 0.5 mg midway through the flight.during the flight, i felt completely calm and at peace, which has never happened before. highly recommend for infrequent fliers with anxiety"
