I'm a veteran diagnosed with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. During a s severe period of hypervigilance and insomnia I was hospitalized at the VA and prescribed this medication to help me sleep. It worked and I slept for nearly 30 hours. I take 50mg as needed for sleep and anxiety/panic attacks. It also helps with my congestive heart failure allowing me to use less lorazepam. The only drawback for...

This medication does not work for bipolar disorder or depression and should be look at by the FDA because to many doctors are giving this medication to treat these conditons. Hydroxyzine is a antihistamine and should be given for that condition only. Many of us are told by our doctors that this medication will help us with our depression and bipolar disorder to which this is untrue.Congress needs...

Overall this medication has been good, however, because of the cause of fatigue, it is a little rough taking this during the day and having to work.

I was prescribed 25 mg. 2 x daily. It seems to make my insides shake and feel worse at times. On the upside, I can breathe more clearly but that doesnt help my head. I've also had dizziness, eyesight blurry, lost weight (10 lbs) quick. If you are thin, be sure you are able to eat properly. If not, contact your Dr.

25 MG was prescribed to me for anxiety an panicking. It has definitely helped with that, but sometimes I get headaches that I didn't regularly have when I wasn't taking Hydroxyzine Pam. Sometimes I feel like certain parts of my body feel weird (right ear ringing, eye starts to hurt) and I didn't feel any of these regularly before taking the medication which kindof makes me more anxious sometimes so much that the medicine doesn't make it go away. I came on here to see if there were any side-effects. I'm thinking about changing to something else soon.Read More Read Less

I had very bad nightmares. It did not help with sleep, and finally had to get Ambien, which helps me sleep greatly.

I wake up all night long due to pain. I have just started taking this medication and slept almost all night for the first time in a long time. I do take a lot of other medications so that may be a factor. In any case 50mg at bed time realy worked well for me.

I finally broke down and asked for medication for my anxiety. I hadn't slept in 4 days. Within an hour of taking this medication, I felt like I could actually go to bed and sleep. I only slept 4 hours, but it was 4 sound hours.

I was prescribed this drug during the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy because I suffered from severe Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP). After taking this medicine for about 3 days I noticed a difference -- it practically cleared up in 1 week! It made me extremely tired the first few days but it got better.

After a long 5 months of soberity, I gave up one night after the baby screaming for what felt like forever and took a Kolinpin which is a no-no, but i choose to give it up due to the additiveness i had on it. At 50mg of this i get what I need, and nothing i don't, as far as additivness and can move on to staying sober!!!!

After years of attempting to find a medication that will help with my bi-polar, depression and psych-affective disorders, Hydroxyzine Pamoate seems to be the one that curtails the symptoms greatly. It is also used to handle certain skin ailments, of which I also suffered due to the stress and anxiety disorders. I sleep better and sounder and am much calmer in social settings. It is by no means a cure-all, and I still have episodes. The medication helps to achieve at least a 40%-60% alleviation of the terror and anxiety that I so very often experience in public settings.Read More Read Less
