Fear of Flying

With the holiday season in full swing, we have received a number of queries regarding the prescription of sedative drugs to alleviate a patient’s fear of flying. 

The Lodge Surgery does not prescribe Diazepam for a patient’s fear of flying. There are a number of very good reasons why prescribing this drug is not recommended that can be found on this leaflet.

We appreciate that fear of flying is very real and very frightening. Another approach is to tackle this properly with a Fear of Flying course run by the airlines.
