 1  Early morning wakeups Modest Drowsyness when doubling the maximum dose... My doc told me to take maximumly 30 mg's per night of use. Only at 60-70 mg it helped me fall asleep. But not to remain at sleep. This is a waste of cash, and i'm sticking with mine to see if there might be some effects some other time. Atarax is a waste of cash, does nothing. Only maybe helped me with falling asleep by 5% or so.. M 18 14 days

 4  allergies hives hayfever Weight gain (5lbs/month), drowsiness, headache, hypersomnia, muscle weakness, dizziness, dry mouth Significant reduction in allergy symptoms, shortness of breath, hives, nighttime itching etc, but side-effects are extremely debilitating. I would not be able to work whilst on this drug, then again, I was unable to work due to severity of intial allergy symptoms and tend to be hypersensitive to all prescribed medication. F 28 3 months

 5  Anxiety, Insomnia, Hives Dry Mouth Atarax works great for mild to moderate anxiety (doesn't help severe with me). For insomnia it helps get to and stay asleep unless severe anxiety exists... and at the worst, your very relaxed and at least able to rest. For itching it works and hives it seems to work pretty well. The plus is that it's not addictive like Xanax, Ativan, etc. and that it's fairly safe from what I've read/my Dr. has told me. I use it as needed. It's nice to know there is something you can get for anxiety from your doctor without a whole lot of hassle. M 28 2 years

 5  Acute attack of hives I had the best sleep I've experienced for years! I do feel a little sluggish the next morning, but this tends to wear off as the day goes on. As a chronic insomniac, I've tried virtually everything in an effort to get a good night's sleep. Conventional sleeping tablets either don't work, give me rebound insomnia when I stop taking them, or make me feel so awful the next day that it simply isn't worth it. Purely by chance I discovered that Atarax works like a charm for me - 8 or more hours of deep, restful sleep. I don't take it every night as I suspect that the effect would wear off. Also, it isn't recommended for people with early signs of glaucoma, such as raised intra-ocular pressure, which my opthalmologist is monitoring me for. I just keep this wonderful pill as a sure-fire cure when I can't handle the insomnia any longer. F 58 8 months

 5  Severe Night Sweating The main side effect I experienced was sleepiness. Produced a 'cloudy' feeling in the morning, making it extemely difficult to wake up. Easily slept very deeply for 10 - 14 hours a night. It definately worked to ease my night sweats! I never wake up needing to change my clothes or the sheets anymore, ever! I'd also give it a rating of 5 as a sleeping pill. F 25 1 days

 5  Chronic Hives No side affects that I can remember, maybe a sluggish metabolism. I take 1 25mg. pill every 3 days or so. If I don't take them I break out in hives all over my body. This pill has been a lifesaver for me and I couldn't live without it. F 40 30 years

 1  To apparently stop bedwetting I was a child then, but from what my mother and other relatives told me was that within a week I had ballooned. I got a huge stomach, and also seem to get man breasts. Which research I've been doing says that it goes back to the thyroid gland. I suspect that Atarax messed up the function of my thyroid. My mother discontinued use after the third dose or something like that, too late the damage was done. I've struggled with weight all my life, while my sisters had no problems, they might actually have been on the too skinny side, all this cosidering my birth weight was lower than both of theirs. I would appreciate any feedback if anyone else has had similiar experiences. M 33 3 days

 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
