default
Posted on Wed, 16 Dec 2015
Question: I have an extreme fear of flying. I am currently in Australia and scheduled to fly to LA on Sunday. I was prescribed .5mg of Lorazepam for my flight to Australia but went through 3/4 pills given and still felt no relief. I am wondering if there are stronger medications or sedatives to help me so I can ask my doctor when I have an appointment at my uni's health center.
