| 4 | hives reaction to antibitotics | Nothing bad or serious. Made me VERY tired and sleepy (which was to be expected). I slept very deeply while taking it, which was good, because the hives kept me awake from the itching. Sometimes I woke up with a minor headache. Gave me brain fog and felt a little | I would definitely take it again, if the need arose. | F | 47 | 10 days | 9/27/2004 | 3 | anxiety | sleepiness, muscle weakness, slow weight gain | stopping the medication all at once caused insomnia, itchy skin, general | F | 54 | 1 years | 9/14/2004 | 4 | insomnia | F | 51 | | 7/31/2004 | 5 | allergies/headaches/pain | works wonders for me | I take the generic form-it is cheaper- it is one of the only things I can take to help me sleep | F | 51 | 10 years | 7/4/2004 | 2 | hives | none | didnt help at all even at 75 mgs. | M | 8 days | 6/30/2004 | 2 | allergies | very drowsy (first few doses) | seems to help with anxiety, as far as allergy relieve I can't tell..seems to help a little. in general anti-histimines don't work at all for me so this was sort of a last ditch effort. First few times I took it it put me to sleep like I'd been hit by a train...but that wore off. | F | 33 | 14 days | 5/2/2004 | 2 | Chronic hives | Initially Atarax helped for my hives, but after taking 4 25mg each day, then 8 a day, then more and more, my hives still came out all over my body....It's like my body wanted more and more Atarax.....so then I went on Prednisone....and then Doxepin | F | 27 | 60 days | 8/23/2003 | 5 | Severe case of hives | I fell asleep very quickly.. almost like a zombie state, I mean instantly with a 25mg pill. Caused me to sleep almost 14 hrs. I since learned if I quartered them it worked fine for a normal 8 hrs sleep. But it is wonderful and gave me relief almost immediately when NOTHING else helped. Also excellent to use for inflammation of various types (mucuous membrane) to halt histamine production. | Apparently my physician thought the hives were caused by anxiety which it's also good for. I'd had them a month, no known trigger and nothing else gave me relief and the Atarax worked like a miracle!! thank goodness. | F | 50 | 2 days | 12/11/2002 |
