    Abstract:
    Fear of flying is a common specific phobia usually treated with behavior therapy; the possibility of pharmacologic treatment has received very little study. The authors report two cases in which successful fluoxetine treatment of major depressive disorder unexpectedly and unintentionally resolved a concomitant fear of flying that had preceded the depressive disorder.
