What time should I take Xanax for my flight?

Question

I have a 3mg Xanax and I have a four hour flight at 2pm, I've never taken Xanax before and I want to only take half of the pill and I was wondering what time I should take it so that it lasts the whole flight.

Answer 1

I would take it about 30 minutes before my flight. I did this with my medicine and it was in my system and working by the time I boarded.  

Answer 2

Three mg is a huge dose! Especially for someone who hasn't taken it before. If you can cut the pill so it is 1/2 to 1 mg that would be the best. It will probably put you to sleep and they last about three hours and take about 30 minutes to start working.

Answer 3

3mg is a large dose for someone who's never taken the drug and for the reason why you are taking it. Anyways, i would take it approx, 20 min before your flight/board. that way by the time u take off it will kick in. you might want to think about breaking the pill in half. that way u have some for the flight there and home.

Answer 4

Doc says-snort now right now!! then later snort more

Answer 5

You can take it about 10 minutes before you get on the plane, it usually takes about 20 minutes to start working and then it should last for four hours.
