No, you don't have to worry about weight gain. It is an antihistamines or some sort of allergy med. It will take 3 to 5 weeks to work and you'd probably need a higher dosage. It is kind of like a pill that they give you that never works. All the doctors are scared to give you what you need because of lawsuits. It might under long, long term help. Yet I have never heard of it actually working. I ask for something else if I were you. Good luck, good doctors are hard to find.
So far no
Hydroxyzine: Incidence not reported: Decreased appetite
Pristiq: Common (1% to 10%): Increased weight, decreased weight
Two out of three!
Just started hydroxyzine while tapering; does absolutely nothing. Decided my doc is not too interested in me, I could be wrong, however I am not a challenge for him. 72 yr old female with chronic pain. No opioids, just cymbalta for ten years weaning off benzo 10 yrs
I've taken 25mg twice a day for 3 years. Have not gained any weight.
I've taken vistaril, after a while I got a "moon face" from it. But no other weight gain.
It can make you sleepy, so careful when driving. xx
