| 3 | OCD Anxiety Before Sleep/Insomnia | Initially, stomach upset. That went away in a few days. The feeling of calm others described set in quickly, and helped me rest for about a week... then it completely stopped having any effect on me. Felt very tired in the mornings as well, but since I have chronic insomnia and slept, it was a small price to pay. | Started on 50 mg. after trazadone stopped working for me to sleep. Worked nicely for about a week, then completely stopped. I just tried 100 mg. last night hesitantly and was tossing & turning all night. Now I feel like a freight train rolled over me. | F | 30 | 14 days | 5/3/2007 | 5 | Panic Attacks & OCD anxiety | I finally got some sleep!!! Only side effects are slight sedation with light euphoric feeling. | I was having such bad substance abuse withdrawals I was having BAD panic attacks and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The OCD was so bad that I was in a constant state of Panic. Once I was put on Vistaril, it worked tremendously and helped until the Zoloft kicked in. Absolutely Miracle Drug. Non-Addictive!!! | M | 25 | 2 weeks | 1/7/2007 |
VISTARIL (HYDROXYZINE HYDROCHLORIDE): Hydroxyzine is used to treat itching caused by allergies. It is an antihistamine and works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. Hydroxyzine may also be used short-term to treat anxiety or to help you feel sleepy/relaxed before and after surgery. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
