Positive experiences
“I get some sleep now with .1mg clonidine and 25 mg atarax combined but it's often short and really broken up.”
“I also take naproxil (hyroxyzine) as a prn if I need it, but it's almost like taking a Benadryl. It's more effective with panic than anxiety.”
“I'm on Dexedrine and I need to take hydroxyzine (Rx) or I cannot sleep.”
“My psychiatrist gives it to me take take as needed (for anxiety and to sleep). It not an opiate or a benzo. It's in the Benadryl family. Stuff is a god send.”
“It really chills me the fuck out without the dopey benzo feeling.”
“No hangover effect, doesn't leave me drowsy or moody the next day ... Definitely best supplement I've used for sleep since it's nonaddictive”
Negative and mixed experiences
“also tried taking my hydroxyzine and that was a temporary fixed but it took like 2 weeks for it to really die down.”
“I eventually landed on magnesium glycinate, hot yoga and hydroxozine when needed. Honestly, after about 3 months of hot yoga...I didn't even need the hydroxozine”
“I've noticed anti-histamines help a lot with my anxiety. Hydroxyzine or even just Benadryl or Dramamine does help me sleep”
“Over the last few years I've been put on Hydroxyzine, Lexapro, Cymbalta, and Mirtazapine...none helped with anxiety”
“Hydroxyzine (worked soooo well, but it always makes me dream)”
“hydroxyzine just makes me feel like a zombie the next day”
