Atarax (hydroxyzine) for Nausea/Vomiting: Atarax is the best for relieving nausea, especially while taking pain killers. I have a broken tailbone and am taking Vicodin, which makes me so sick. I take 50 mg of Atarax and the nausea is gone within 20 minutes. It is GREAT. Also helps with anxiety and hives.

Vistaril (hydroxyzine) for Sedation: I have tried Ambien, Cymbalta, Clonazepam, etc for insomnia. All have had the opposite effect - keeping me awake worse than if I hadn't taken anything. Nothing has helped me sleep as well as Vistaril, with no side effects. I wake up refreshed every morning without any fatigue.

Vistaril (hydroxyzine) for Anxiety: I have extreme anxiety attacks that make it hard for me to breathe, which makes the oxygen levels in my brain go down. I have found that it helps me calm down to the point where I can rationalize the stress and anxiety that is causing the attack. I also find that when I am nauseous it helps me not vomit.

Vistaril (hydroxyzine) for Nausea/Vomiting: I have migraine headaches that have me vomiting with great force. I use Vistaril and it is marvellous. I don't know what I would do with out it. It also relaxes me so I think that helps with the headache as well. Don't waste time go straight on to Visatril.

hydroxyzine for Nausea/Vomiting: I use hydroxyzine when I am having a reaction to other medications and it relieves my itching and upset stomach. It is also very soothing for anxiety. It doesn't make me sleepy unless I am taking it in conjunction with Vicodin (which I am taking short term for pain)

Atarax (hydroxyzine) for Anxiety: I take this along with Lexapro... I was having such hard times falling asleep due to nine million things going on through the day ... then the anxiety kicked in...sometimes I would be up for hours while everyone is sound to sleep...When I started taking this I fall asleep within thirty mins and usually sleep sound. It is not addicting... and good price for the good things the meds do.
