hydroxyzine (Vistaril)


[Ze...]

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this med,and if so did it help?

 

For me, in early withdrawal, it made things horribly worse, the anxiety and panic increased that badly on it.  Just my personal experience.  I believe I may just have paradoxical reactions to antihistamines.  I could never so much as take a Benadryl before benzos without feeling wired and experiencing insomnia.

You're welcome.  I wish I could be of more help.  Rough withdrawal myself.  I will not take an antidepressant myself, so I completely understand.  Hoping the best for you.

I have it and it does help. When I first started I cut the pill in half to access my tolerance. It stopped my anxiety and helped me sleep
