I've tried it also. It helped with my sleeping issues I was having. It helped me to fall and stay asleep through the night. My only concern is that I was taking it in the interim until my Trileptal dosage was at the correct level to help with my sleep. I started with 25mg and that was not enough, I had to move up to 50mg a couple of weeks later to get any relief. Luckily I didn't have to go up any higher because Trileptal began to work, but I don't know if Vistaril is something that has to keep being increased in dosage because you develop a tolerance or if it is for regular use. But it did help me for short term use.
