Oh yeah, it works a charm without making you feel dopey. Honestly, if there was some way I could just be knocked unconscious for 10 hours, be packed in baggage and then just wake up overseas, that would be excellent. But the Xanax seems to be the next best thing. I did honestly take probably a total of 8 for the flight, though. (Not all at once. I could feel my anxiety starting to come back at points, and I would take some more.)
