I'm not a person that often takes drugs.
However, after being tossed around a rather nasty flight through
a storm about a year ago, I have become rather apprehensive of
flying. It's sort of sad, because flying used to never bother me up
until the point I thought I was on a roller coaster ride (and I hate
such rides).
Co-workers suggested I take Valium. It sounded like a good idea.
After all, it seems like I can take one and enjoy the flight as if I
didn't have a care in the world.
My doctor prescribed me a small handful of 5mg pills. I only needed
enough for the flights I had booked through the rest of this year.
Just sort of wondering what the Valium experience will be like:
1. How many hours does it stay effective? In other words, is
5mg good for a 6-hour flight?
2. How long after taking it does it kick in?
3. What is the the Valium experience like? Will it make me sleep
or just put me in a tranquil state? Can I get up and move freely
around the cabin of the plane if I need to?
I realize to some this entire thread may sound silly, but seriously,
I am not the kind of person who pops pills regularly enough to know
what the experience is like. I am interested in hearing what you guys
think of the drug.
