I started Vistaril for anxiety. It appears to have very few side effects, a low abuse/addiction profile. It sounds safer than other anti-anxiety pills. I've never really taken Xanax or Klonopin for long periods of time because they made me feel loopy. Trazadone didn't work for me and IDK why but it triggered mania and insomnia. I was taking it to help me sleep. Some people complain of hallucinations on it so be careful.
