    NO! It is a benzodiazepine, so it does help in short term relief of anxiety, and is perfect for flights etc, passive activities.

    However, it can cause drowsiness, and there should be warnings in the preparation about taking this before skilled tasks, including driving. Especially if you have not taken it before, I would not take it, as other adverse effects can include lightheadedness and paradoxically an increase in aggression in some people.

    I would stay away from pharmacological agents if possible, and try something like chewing gum, e.g. with menthol/eucalyptus in, such as Airwaves, or other ones designed to help with colds, as these have a calming effect on most people, and the chewing activity can be therapeutic.

    Good luck!
