Hey, everyone! I've been having anxiety over some on going health issues. Had surgery 4 months ago to remove my gallbladder and I'm still not feeling well. Currently having an inability to concentrate on much other than my health and am having trouble sleeping. Went to the doctor about all of this yesterday and he prescribed Hydroxyzine which is supposed to help with the anxiety and sleeping troubles. When I read about it the medication though, it's used primarily for allergies. Anyone used it before for anxiety and was it effective? If so, how long did it take to see improvement?
 
I was just put on this as well and was wondering if it worked for you. I know this is an old post
 
It is an allergy medicine & a side effect is drowsiness. I use it for my dog's allergies. My pdoc suggested I try it for sleep and 1/2 tab (25 mg) knocked me out for 18 hours! I tend to be sensitive to these types of meRAB, but this was powerful.
 
I was going to try it out tonight, i will post tomorrow with the results. Good to know I can also use it for my dog! :)
