I've been taking hydroxyzine for 4 days now & even if I take 100mg at once I get no effect what so ever. Was prescribed it for anxiety & nausea but it hasn't helped with either what so ever, doesn't even make me sleepy. Should I give up on it or does it take a while to build up in your system?
Is hydroxyzine not working?

It should work soon after you take it. Also some may even build up in your body.
I would call Doctor and tell them it's now working and you need to try something different. I have beem taking Clonazepam for about six years and I think it works very well. It's fast and I have had no side affects.

This is acts as an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. I have used this med and it never did work for me as for as for anxiety. The doctor might try to put you on vistrail or atarax and it is the same type of drug and it also did nothing for my anxiety. Try Atavin for anxiety may help with nausea if your anxiety is causing it. It is a benzo and can become habit forming. If you just need something for anxiety and you know that the nausea is caused by it I would try buSpar which is for anxiety and is not habit forming.

As I said earlier I take Clonazepam for maybe six years. I can take
10 mil. grams up to three times a day.About two years ago I was admitted to a Headache clinic for pain control and to see if blood clot was still in my head.
I was told by the hospital in my home town that the clot was gone and I was just having rebound Headaches, as I was also on Morphine. The first two weeks were for detoxing. Well, I didn't have a problem one in detox. Nothing from Morphine or the Clonazepam. I was jumping for joy, because they seen the Blood clot that was there from the beginning. Our Hospital techs just could not see the clot on the MRI's. To end the story, I think a lot of addictions are caused by over taking of drugs. I took the Morphine, as well as the Clonazepam as directed to. I took the drugs only like I was told to, not like I felt I wanted to.
I hope this helps someone.

I went into the hospital complaining of anxiety, OCD symptoms and horrific nightmares. Yeah! they sent me to lock down. So here I am feeling like I have no control over my life and they take everything and I mean everything away from me. It was like having a scratch on your knee and running to get a band aid and breaking your foot. You no longer worry about the scratch on your leg. Once you voluntarily sign yourself in you are in and they decide when you are out. I had to find out from another patient (not the doctors) that it was the Trazadol I was taking to help me sleep that was causing the nightmares. All they did after two nights and three days was switch my Lexapro to Celexa and gave me a script for Hydroxyzine for anxiety and sleep. I have to say that is like trying to throw a drop of water on an oil rig fire. Absolutely nothing!! I understand that often less is more. I am already on a lot of medications for pain, which I take as directed and do not abuse.

Thanks for your response. It's funny u mentioned Clonazepam cause that's the one I wanted. My nausea is from anxiety & I've lost 30 pounds in just a few months since I couldn't hold food down. One day I found a Clonazepam pill I was prescribed awhile ago. It totally took all my nausea away & for the first time in 3 months I held down food! However, my doc doesn't want to prescribe it to me due to it's addictiveness. I've been on it b4 & actually get no effects from it other then what it's treating
so I've never had that problem. Any advice on how to get him to prescribe it to me??
Since he does not like to prescribe it you may have to look for another doctor who would.
