THIS MEDICATION IS VERY GOOD FOR ALLERGIC REACTIONS. IT STOPS THE ITCHING IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THIS DRUG ALS0 HELPS WITH SLEEPING...I RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO HAS FREQUENT REACTIONS WHICH RESULT IN HIVES OR DIFFICULTY BREATHING AND THE REACTIONS ARE UNKNOWN.....

Once I saw it could cause heart disturbances I refused to take this drug. I am using benedryl instead. The risks seem to be very high with this drug with what I see as a low effectiveness for the risks at hand.

I was prescribed 10mg 4 times per day due to an allergic reaction to Sulfa Meds. After 4 straight days of constant itching, this was a godsend!!! In just one night I feel so much better. I also suffer from anxiety and have been prescribed vallium in the past to treat it. This drug works on my anxiety really well too, without falling into the benzo family. I wish I had known about this before!

I have a condition called dermatographism. Just the lightest touch or scratch to my skin causes big red scratch marks. If I try on clothes it looks like I was in a catfight with a cat!!! This medicine seems to help a little but I think I might need a stronger dose cause it still happens.I take 10 mg twice a day. I think if my Dr upped the dosage it might work better for me. I do not get sleepy or anything with this. Maybe cause it is such a low dose.

Really helps with my anxiety and helps me sleep as well. It does make me tired, so I try and only take it when I really need it for anxiety or to get a good nights rest. Also, it's non-addictive. I am a recovering alcohlic and did not want any habit-forming medications.

This drug is SO much better than klonipin, which I had been taking for at least 5 years. I started forgetting EVERYTHING and it began to bother me. I started taking atarax and it helps and my memory is back. It doesnt help as well as klonipin, but I have taught myself breathing exercises when I feel a panic attack coming on.

Im prescribed 50mgs every eight hours and it does not help my anxiety. Klonopin and Xanax are much more effective. I dont like it and I want Benzos!

I use this drug when I fly. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder (I am already on 20mg of Prozac/day) and flying usually just puts me into a state of pure panic. I am still nervous during flight when we hit bumps but I don't have the constant sensation that the plane is falling from the sky. However, I can't function well afterwards. Both times I've taken it, it's been 100mg, and I fell asleep for hours after getting off the plane. So depending on the dosage, be prepared to be VERY calm and VERY sleepy!!! Read More Read Less

I have been using this medicine for itching, due to am implant that I was found to be allergic to. Boy did this medicine do wonders for me, it calm my reaction to the itching sensation, and controlled the skin reaction, the underlying small bumps i would get that itched so bad, have calmed about 90 %. I guess I using this for a long time to come, since I CANNOT have the implant removed. I recommend this pill highly.

I have anxiety attacks on a regular basis. After starting to take this medication, I feel great! It makes me really sleepy, but if I know I'm going to do something or go to work that day I just take 1/2 of one pill.. and it just calms me. I really recommend this for those of you with anxiety!
