you'll have all the answers, so let's hear them
Nobody pretends to have all the answers - each solution is right for that person. Your solution is a chemical one: If it works for you, and is approved and acceptable in your country, then good for you. That same solution may not be approved in other countries, or by other airlines or doctors, and even if it is, may not be appropriate for other people to use. There is an opinion held by some that says that any prescription medicine type solution to jet-lag is incorrect for aviation professionals.

There's no "authoritarian" position being taken - simply a degree of slight surprise that an aviation professional should recommend a prescription drug that is a member of the benzodiazepine/valium family to one and all: Further I'm slightly surprised that you are able, categorically and finally, to state that your ability to stay awake on the flight deck when others can't is caused by the drug mentioned. Believing it to be so is one thing, proving it is another.

Nobody is looking for a fight here skol - just suggesting that a greater degree of thought should be applied before posting your opinions in this way.
