I have been prescribed two Xanax pills for an upcoming flight next week, one for the flight down and one for the flight back. I will be 5 months pregnant at the time of the flight and my doctor (after much research) has determined that a low dose of Xanax taken on a two time basis only, would be highly unlikely to cause harm to my baby at this stage of development. This drug is also likely lablelled the "class D" as a precautionary measure because there hasn't been a lot of research on it.
I've done a lot of research of pregnant women and sedatives and almost all have been prescribed Xanax for limited use over drugs like Valium and Adavan.
My question is that since I've never taken Xanax before (pre-pregnancy I took valium to fly), I'm not sure how soon I should take it before my flight and how long it lasts. My prescription is for two .5 mg pills (one for the flight down and one to fly back)
Also I'd love to hear positive stories from those who've taken it to fly.
