What is the best drug for MRI claustrophobia?

+1 vote

I am claustrophobic, and have to get an MRI in a few weeks. The problem is that I can't stand being in closed spaces, as the MRI tunnel is very small and closed. I am very worried I will not be able to complete the MRI, as it is too confining. What is the best medication to take for this?

1.5 mg of lorazepam 1 1/2 hours before procedure performed in a wide bore MRI machine. Done!
