Vistaril (hydroxyzine) for Pain: This medication made me very nervous and depressed. Almost like the effects I had from oxycodone. I had to stop taking it after 4 days.

Vistaril (hydroxyzine) for Pain: I have seen vistaril prescribed a number of times for pain, especially muscle pain. I found it useless for pain itself, but it was great to potentiate opiates and stop rashes that might develop

Vistaril (hydroxyzine) for Anxiety: I've been taking Vistaril 25 mg for 3 weeks and it has not helped me what so ever. At first I felt a little less nervous but when I had to go to an assembly it kicked right back up! Now I'm getting ready to get on Lexapro. Hopefully this drug works for me.

Vistaril (hydroxyzine) for Anxiety: It works really well for panic and anxiety although it seems like if I take enough of it to get rid of the panic feeling, then I feel depressed. I think benzodiazepines do a better job, but it's nice to have a non-addictive alternative.

Vistaril (hydroxyzine) for Anxiety: I have PTSD with flashbacks/anxiety and don't want to take benzodiazepines because I'm also an addict. While Vistaril doesn't work quite as well, it does help and I feel better about taking it.

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.
