    So, the doctor gave me alprazolam...or Xanax for those not pharmaceutically competent.

    I went to look it up, to see how long the effects are.

    According to WebMD, it is widely prescribed for PMS related anxiety....PMS Anxiety?!?!? :?

    uhhh....so I've never taken it, if you've had it, how long are you sedated? Should I take a test run? I just know she told me "Whatever you do, don't drink any alcohol on the plane, and DON'T DRIVE"

    I have taken it before- just takes the edge off nicely. Add alcohol and the edge dulls even more. Can't say about the length of the effect, 3-4 hours maybe.

    a few years back, they changed the runway legnth rules for DC9's. milwaukee was grandfathered in under the old rules. it's runway is about 1500ft below what the new recommendation is.

    that's a tiny airport...runway wise

    meh, I'll be all doped up and not care...I'll be sleeping in the airport as the flight gets in at 5am, and the rental car place won't open till 6am. :roll:

    flying on a plane

    is that the same as but different than riding on a bicycle
    or
    driving in a car
    or
    flying on a hang glider or helicopter

    walking or jogging on your feet

    ;)

    flying scares me. i am afraid of heights.
