do you take it daily, only when you know you're driving the bridge? How does that work for you?

If it’s something occurring on a daily basis, they can give you something else for anxiety. In my case I go through 30 .25 mg of Xanax about every 3 months.
It does sound like a panic attack. It comes out of nowhere-mine began a few months after my father died, and I was under some stress seeing about my mother. I was traveling back and forth over the Basin, and bridges were just getting to me. Night driving can also get to me. It felt as if something had literally snapped in my head. Something I had been doing for decades, became impossible for me to continue doing.
You can take something that’s non-addictive, and the relief will be considerable.

a driver in the right lane and as we approach a bridge, they will move over to the left lane even if it means holding up faster moving traffic. As soon as they cross the bridge, they will ease back over to the right lane

As shitty as that seems I understand it. You feel more in control with the side of the bridge closer to you on the left. When the lake is really windy or foggy, I sometimes hug the left lane on the Causeway. I do move right for faster traffic though.

lake charles has one you should avoid.
similar one in south georgia/florida.

real steep.

you gotta breathe very intentionally.

extra credit if theres ice on the bridge. i can hardly breathe crossing icy bridge. one false move and you are spinning out of control. dont even sneeze.

I kind of get it when I drive up high mountains.

they pretreat them for ice or close them down if they’re iced up baw

Me too when going up the mountain but no problem when going down. If I’m approaching a mountain curve and all I see is sky ahead, then I sorta freak out.

I wouldn't say that I have any trouble going over bridges, but I do occasionally have bad dreams about them .... like going up the bridge at too fast a speed and never coming down.
