“I get some sleep now with .1mg clonidine and 25 mg atarax combined but it's often short and really broken up.”
“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.”
“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”
