Anxiety trying to surface hydroxyzine hcl?

Hello

Since yesterday I've been on the edge... Anxiety is acting up and I'm scared to have a full attack ... Been to the hospital two weeks ago. EKG was normal and they gave me hydroxyzine to take.. But I'm nervous has anyone taken this med before ??

Hi Ms.Jessy.

I am sorry that you are having a rough night.:( It is my hope that this fades out as quickly as it came up!

In the event that is doesn't however, it is great that you have your Rx just in case.

I have never used meds...but if I were to, this specific choice would be my preferred Rx. (as well as possibly Diazepam...it's a toss up, but one of these two for sure)

This med is an antihistamine, used 'off label' for anxiety. It will have a mild sedating effect, and should not in any way alter the way you feel...other than to lessen your anxiety, and most likely make you sleepy.:)

Try all of your coping skills first if you are still reluctant...and if they do not help, then why not give this a try and see what you think?

Wishing you the best in your decision. Let us know how you are doing soon.:)

S.C.
