3 | Anxiety | Decreased anxiety but did not help as much as a benzo would. Was prescribed this after a toxic reaction to flagyl causing central nervous system damage. If you have high anxiety/panic this won't do much to help but it is good for mild everyday anxiety. It made my eyes play tricks on me at times like objects moving when they are not but I would just take a break for a day or two and it would go back to normal. Wish it did more to help the anxiety to be honest but better than risking addiction to a benzo, I guess. Also didn't notice it help at all with my sinus allergies even though it's an antihistamine. | Nowadays I just take as needed. | F | 20 | 30 days 50mg 3X day | 4/1/2023 | 1 | anxiety | Miserable. Could not sleep or concentrate.

It doesn't help with my anxiety at all and makes me sleepy at first but I don't stay at sleep so it doesn't help with insomnia either. Total waste of time. | F | 35 | 0 months 50 mg | 6/30/2020 | 5 | M | 23 | 5 weeks | 6/27/2020 | 1 | Anxiety | Heavy Metal Poisoned from titanium Dioxide and Iron oxide (opadry is the company that big pharma uses Solution: -Copious amounts of vitamin C (liposomal is best) combined with MSM (2,000mg) -Drink tons of water and exercise to sweat to excrete wastes -Sauna or steam room or sweat toxins -Dr. Christopher’s blood stream formula (first school of natural medicine in the western United States) used to treat for heavy metal poisoning. -Dr. Schulze potent detox herbs -frequent Epsom salt baths in distilled water -Cilantro and Chlorella (very powerful removing heavy metal poisoning) concentrated tincture -Vitamin B12, Vitamin B1, folic acidic.

Fats are important for brain health | Developed schizophrenia after 1 month of use | M | 23 | 35 days 75mg daily | 6/11/2020 | 2 | Anxiety | Does not help my anxiety at all! My Dr. doesn’t seem to believe me but most of the time I don’t even take it as it’s basically pointless unless I want to feel like a zombie all day long. | Not effective for my anxiety. Wake up feeling exhausted. | M | 33 | 3 years 10 mg | 3/4/2020 | 2 | Allergies/ Surgery | None | I've been prescribed this med a few times. No one seems to believe me, but it does absolutely nothing to me. It's like taking sugar pills. | F | 34 | 25mg 4X day | 1/9/2020 | 2 | Sleeping | So so tired | Took one to help me sleep - slept ok but felt utterly terrible the next day - could have slept for a week on just one tablet. No energy whatsoever. Wouldn't take it again | M | 49 | 1 days 1X day | 11/26/2017 | 5 | Sever allergic react.,hives,puritis | Had a severe allergic reaction w/hives & rashes all over stomach & back.Took the inside itch away by day 3 but noticed lucid nightmares, shaking hands & muscle aches | Dr said I had puritis once I still had itchyness once rash was gone so these pills helped tremendously but the side effects are real but the hives & inside itchyness is worse to deal with. | F | 28 | 4 days 25 | 6/5/2017 | 5 | For night time itching | very sleepy | It has stopped my itching witch was driving me mad so 10 out 10 | F | 85 | 6 days 30 my | 5/14/2017 | 5 | Axiety, bad sleeping, itching. | It's difficult to get out of bed in the morning, I feel very tired, lost the strenth and will for exercising. Sometimes my eyes are dry when waking up. | But, it really works for the issues I'm dealing with. I wasn't getting a good sleep, waking up at 3am and not being able to fall asleep again, or intermitent sleeping during all night. Feeling anxious and stressed and moody all day long and suddenly the itching problem; first just the hands, next day both hands an feet, and as sudden as the itching appeared it suddenly stopped. The very first night I took Atarax all went to normal: sleeping 7-8 hours, feeling relaxed, and no more itching or red spots on my skin. But then I noticed it was getting really hard to get me out of bed every morning and didn't even want to think about exercising; I'm a morning person, and doing exercise is part of my nature, it feeds me and energizes me.....but now, I'm draging myself out of bed. I'm also experiencing the need for more sweet things: sugar in tea, bread and marmelade. I've tried quitting Atarax, but itching starts again at the second day after doing so. The problem behind that itching is not known in my case, my dermatologist sugests is just an urticary problem wich can stop as sudden as it began. I'm going to cut my dosage to 5mg and see if it still works helping with a good sleep, the anxiety and the itching, but without dragging me so down. | F | 51 | 2 months 10 mg 1X day | 11/19/2016 | 1 | For dust allergy | My whole body is aching and I don't know what can I do know ?if I am not take then too much ich | Can some one help me to get out this frustrating condition | F | 43 | 2 years 25mg | 10/5/2016 | 5 | Anxiety, OCD, allergies, + asthma. | * Sedation (mild-moderate) * Dry Mouth (mild) * Increased mucous viscosity (mild-moderate) | This has been an almost perfect medication for me. It works with my Allegra to knock my allergies out, it can stop panic attacks and ruminative episodes cold, it increases my peak flow meter readings, and it gives me amazing dreams. Furthermore, it reduces my chronic nocturnal asthma symptoms and boosts my mood, which is a little odd since this medicine is supposed to worsen these condition, but I'm not complaining. | M | 20 | 6 months 10 mg | 9/3/2016 | 4 | Anxiety | I also have took myself off and I am now itching ALL OVER ..anyone know how long it takes to get out of your system?? | This medicine did help me initially but I found I was getting clumsy ...angry and putting on weight .I have enough problems with hypothyroidism… gaining weight feeling as if I have dementia because my brain doesn't function !!! I read that Atarax can also exacerbate these symptoms and that it's not meant long term usage so I've weaned myself off it . | F | 59 | 3 years 60mg | 6/4/2016 | 4 | Chronic hives, anxiety, not sleepin | It works, meaning it takes away hives and anxiety and sleeping well. But, I'm tired AlL the the time and feel nauseous for about 2 or 3 hours a day and I cano think. Sleep most of day. | I cut the pill in half, but I get hives. It makes me feel nauseus more of the day too.still, it's good for anxiety- I went to the store and did not have a panic attack! | F | 44 | 2 months 10 mg | 12/30/2015 | 4 | Allergy | So far I could no feel any side effect but I feel inconvenient when I have not sufficien sleep.If I stop again alergy will start. | I am worried side effects in future. | M | 62 | 4 years | 11/27/2015 | 1 | anxiety | Extremely sleepy fatigue weight gain sugar cravings | F | 28 | 1 years | 11/17/2015 | 2 | anxiety | Hard to wake up headach didn't talk to anyone so I just quit talking it what can happen to me | M | 26 | 3 days 25mg | 11/12/2015 | 4 | anxiety | Extreme gas | F | 55 | 1 weeks 25 | 10/30/2015 |
