Has anyone taken this kind of medicine before?
She really does not enjoy flying and on our last trip to Washington DC she got so worked up she was just miserable. We don't drink so using alchol to relax is out of the question. Just want to know if this medicine is working for others who may have a fear of flying. If so, how much do you take and how long before the flight leaves do you take it?
Thanks for any advice you can give
Dave
