It's nice to know that I'm not the only one afraid. If I get the courage, I'm going to start dealing with this soon. My doctor suggested going to relaxation courses so I can control my fears leading up to the flight, and then just taking valium the night before and during the flight. Has anyone taken valium before to relax them?

I am glad to see that I am not the only person either. I too, you used to be ok flying and are now SCARED TO DEATH - at it was before 9/11.
I must have seen said program too *lol* becasue since about 95, in order to step on a plane, I MUST have a valium (I've upgraded to Xanax now
). I have even skipped on things due to the fact that the flight was 4 hours.
