   Your daughter being active may actually help on the plane…your mind will be busy…take a portable DVD player and play her favorite movies or take books or coloring books and I have taken xanax and it doesn't dope me up at all…try one beforehand to make sure you don't get drowsy. Congrats on taking on your fears. God Bless!

   Panic: There are medications specifically for anxious flyers. You can be mildly sedated or a wreck screaming next to your screaming child. Totally up to you

   Toddler: One of you is the parent and one is the child. Figure out which is which. I just flew 13 hours with a mother with two 2-year old daughters who spent the whole time repeating, "Stop screaming or you'll get a spanking. Sit down. Stop screaming." No spanking in 13 hours. They didn't stop screaming either. If that mother can't manage a 2 year old she will have a VERY interesting time when they are teenagers…

   Here's some good information for you to know (extracted from this site): http://www.panic-away.tk

   "This Is The Key To Being Panic Attack Free…

   You Must Learn To Break The Fear Of Having Another Panic Attack Or You Will Never Experience Complete Freedom From Anxiety

   -The anticipation of a panic attack starts the wave cycle of anxiety in motion.

   -The foundation of a future panic attack is laid hours before you actually experience one.

   -The slightest stress trigger will then launch the full blown panic attack into motion.

   -Panic manifests itself in approximately 20 minute wave like formations.

   This Is Where Your Problem Lies

   There is one key factor that makes the difference between those who fully eliminate panic attacks from their lives and those who do not. The key ingredient is not medication, lifestyle changes, or relaxation exercises. It is when the individual no longer fears the thought of having a panic attack.

   This may seem like a simplified and obvious observation but give it careful consideration. The one thing that has you searching for a solution to anxiety and panic attacks this very moment is the fear of having another one.

   The first time a person experiences a panic attack it can feel like their world is falling down around them. Nowhere feels safe as the anxiety becomes like a stalker lurking in the background.

   When this happens people begin to either avoid situations that make them anxious or they medicate themselves to the point where they are numb to the fear. I am sure you will agree neither of the above is a satisfactory solution."
