First time flyer with extreme anxiety. To provide some context: years ago, my family went on vacation to San Antonio. We wanted to explore Natural Bridge Caverns. Due to my anxiety and claustrophobia, I was not able to enter the caverns. My now ex took on the great responsibility of taking the kids.
Additionally, with my fear of water and bridges, I was convinced I would never fly. Fast forward to 2025: I had a work trip with my company to Vegas, and there was no option not to go. I had no idea how I was going to get through it.
I did my research and found Kick. I considered the idea for about a week. About three days before my trip, I finally decided to visit the website and go through the process. The process was quick and simple. The next day, I picked up my prescription, and I took it exactly as instructed right before my flight.
Next thing I knew, I was comfortably resting in my seat, actually enjoying the flight. For me, Propranolol didn’t completely eliminate my anxiety, but it minimized the symptoms that make my anxiety overwhelming—racing heartbeat, profuse sweating, hyperventilating, numbness in my hands, you name it. I felt normal, great, not groggy. I was alert and able to function.
Overall, I highly recommend Kick. Not because the company reached out and asked me to write this review, but because, as a 45-year-old who was raised with the fear of flying due to my mom's anxiety, I was able to overcome my fears. Thanks to Kick’s support, I was not only able to enjoy my work trip but am now ready to travel with my kids.
