Like Claritin or Benadryl? Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that is prescribed for anxiety...

I sometimes take hydroxizine... it converts into the same thing as Zyrtec. It's the only antihistamine I can really take, those two.

I've gotten a few hydroxyzine from a friend as I'm a bad insomniac. I felt so good laying in bed that night. And when I had to go to the ER for a panic attack on Christmas Day and she asked if I ever tried Benadryl to calm me down? I had to laugh because Benadryl won't touch my attacks but that vistaril worked great and I'm actually thinking of talking to my pdoc about it.

I've never heard of this before. Interesting.

I take Vistaril along with Neurontin for anxiety. It helps for the most part.

I've taken Benadryl a few times for anxiety. Not sure how well it helped but it did help me rest well.

I use Benadryl to go to sleep when I'm having a bad day and I know I wont be able to sleep otherwise. It works great for me.

I've taken Benadryl for anxiety. I have histamine problems where my body produces too much histamine and that in turn makes me anxious. I have to avoid histamine causing foods like tomatoes and onions. (Lol salsa is a no-go and gives me horrendous histamine reactions as you can guess!)
