User Reviews for hydroxyzine HCl oral

I have eczema that I treat with a combination prescription Betaderm Ointment 0.1% with Hydroxyzine 25mg. I have been on these prescriptions close to 20 years and yet my condition continues to only get worse and keeps spreading. I am supposed to take one tablet a day but when I get flareups I have to cheat and double the dose for a couple days or so before I get any relief. Starting to wonder if I have developed some type of immunity or resistance on hydroxyzine

does not work

It helps me relax and also to have a restful night sleep

I have used for years. I take when I need to. I am allergic to my medication, but my meds help me more than hurt me. So I take the hydroxyzine HCI for the inching. It works and has for years.

My anxiety seems heightened or this medication has not helped at all. It makes me extremely itchy all over my face and upper body. Trying to find a safe alternative for Xanax and for me, this ISN’T it.

Have been fighting for breath for 2 days noticed I haven’t really drank anything fr 3 days I was just sipping here and there dizziness and while sitting still felt like I was moving the gasping for air caused panic attacks

The first day it was pretty good, took it at night and slept really well. Now I'm on the 3rd day and it is giving me one heck of a headache, which I rarely get. I'm unable to sit still, I'm trying everything I can to work this out of my system after having taken it last night. It did not help me sleep. I'm going to stop taking this drug.

Did not see a difference in my anxiety at all while on this medication made me sleep for EVER and made my dreams very vivid

Really can’t tell any difference while taking this drug for anxiety. I was unaware until I looked it up that it was also an anti-histamine.

It seems to take forever to ease the itching. Most times I have to keep reapplying

I was prescribed this medication after having one of those panic attacks that makes you think you're having a heart attack. My doctor said to break up the 25mg pills into 1/2 or 1/3 portions. I took about half a pill at the doctors office and felt the relaxing effects within an hour. I had to take a nap that afternoon. Otherwise I've been using small portions of the pills about an hour before bedtime in the days following that incident. It has helped tremendously considering I had a lot of trouble sleeping last week due to work stress. I think people just need to be aware that the 25mg pills will have a strong effect. I've taken full antihistamine medication for allergies in the past (not the non-drowsy kinds, aka Benedryl) and those knock me out instantly. I hate that feeling and always feel drowsy the following day. But knowing how much to take and when has been very helpful in treating my current anxiety. Read More Read Less

I was prescribed this for anxiety. I took 12.5mg during school and i have been feeling extremely drowsy and cannot function when i take it. Helps with anxiety but side effects arent worth it.

I had a condition called erythroderma. Look it up on google. I was covered head to toe, and most miserable. I had this for almost 10 years. The only thing that kept me from tearing my skin off and helped me sleep is 4x25mg of these tablets. Once, the doctor gave me 12.5mg, and my skin was absolutely crazy and I could not sleep. He changed me back to 25mg. I can finally sleep without scratching my skin off.

In has caused dizziness, and increased areas of itch to all over body...

It made me very drowsy and walked around like a zombie. Could not drive,read or think clearly. I felt it was very dangerous and my doc wanted me to replace klonopin which was safe and worked well on panic attacks

Did not substantially decrease anxiety. Did make me very tired; slept for ! 10 hours with very vivid dreams.

My doc prescribed this to me for anxiety. It definitely has helped with racing thoughts and pounding heart beat. As a plus, I have ezcema and it had helped with the itching. The first couple weeks I used it, I was so tired all the time, so dizzy too, and it made me feel weird and gave me dry mouth. Now week 5 and The side effects have faded significantly.

I have atopic dermatitis, I scratch until there is blood running. This med kicks my butt. I'm out like a light within 45 minutes. My mouth is dry as dirt, I feel hungover, lagged down. I do not like this med at all!

Helps with anxiety

Was prescribed during a problem with wound healing. Really helped, did not make me sleepy. Beats Benedryl hands down.
