hydroxyzine for Anxiety: This medicine is very effective if I need to calm down immediately, but it makes me really sleepy and keeps me from thinking clearly. I prefer the feeling of klonopin because it doesn’t make me as tired, but I’m glad I have both because I can take the Vistaril at night to relax.

I am on Zoloft for depression and anxiety, but I still had anxiety. My skin drove me crazy at night, itching for no reason, hives, having to get up and undress, could not stand anything touching me. (I also have switched to Amway powder detergent which did seem to stop me from making my arms bleed; excellent detergent). Anyway, some nights it is very difficult to get to sleep. My dr. recently prescribed this med. and I find it works very well. At first, I saw no reason to take it, I used to just use Benedryl, but some nights that just did not work. My first night I slept fourteen hours so I was afraid to take it again; but I did several days later and it works just fine. Nice sleep. Apparantly, my body must have just needed to collapse for awhile that first time.

I have been on pain medication for almost ten years because chronic of back pain. As a result it has been very hard on my stomach. I have constant nausea. My doctor put me on hydroxyzine and I had great results. The down side is the medication makes me extremely sleepy. I had a very serious automobile accident as a result. We are pretty sure the medication caused me to black out. Just a word of caution to other patients that use hydroxyzine.

My 4 year old was given this medication for the relief of extreme itching and dry skin. Dr said it was excema. He is also EXTREMELY hyperactive and even though too young to be formally diagnosed, very ADHD! He started having trouble paying attension and sitting still in school. He was ALWAYS antsy and just couldn’t keep his hands to himself. He was like a perpetual motor! Not ever hearing about this medication, I didn’t even think to research it until tonight. It has been one week since he has been on it I have noticed a HUGE decrease in his hyperactivity but thought nothing of it until his teacher contacted me and asked me what we were doing differently at home. I thought back and could only attribute it to the hydroxyzine. Once I started really thinking about it, he has been a completely different child-much calmer, more focused, etc… Now, I have researched it on my own and see that it is somewhat as a sedative. Not sure how long this can be taken for, but it has worked wonders on this busy little 4 year old! Oh, and he doesnt itch anymore either!
