For Anxiety "I've been taking this medication for about a week now for severe anxiety, and I will admit I can tell night and day when I take it (it works), however, it makes me feel EXTREMELY fatigued. I could sleep all day when I take this stuff. Probably not the best solution for anyone with a lot of daily responsibilities. Other side effects I think have come along with it are dry mouth and an increase in appetite. I don't remember being this hungry before. Would I recommend it? Ugh... I think the fact it eliminates my attacks pretty much altogether is worth the cons I mentioned, but I'm still going to be trying some alternatives to see if there's something that doesn't make me feel as tired. Don't get me wrong, it's not like you're going to fall asleep out of the blue, but once you do decide to sleep, you're going to want to sleep way more than you need to."

For Anxiety "I have anxiety and did not realize until I took only a 1/4 of my 25 ml tab how much it was affecting me. Today I have felt more able and productive, and had a day without anxiety. Feels amazing. I did have at least 2 memorable dreams that night. I have noticed a slight dry mouth and eyes. This being said, I do have CKD and will be going back to docs to make sure kidneys are not being affected, and also to ask for the liquid version of this as the other ingredients list more to my preference.... no color additives from what I've read."

"Female, 55 years - Since I was in my late 20s, I had this excessive sweating, only my head, face, neck, and chest. When reaching menopause at 49, the sweating has been over the top. Doctor tried me on Atarax 25 mg, which I have tried for a month. OMW, the side effects... 1. Dizzy and off balance. 2. Sleepy and tired - cannot keep my eyes open. 3. Nauseous. 4. Vomiting. 5. Body itching. 6. Dry mouth. I am thinking, maybe I should take half a pill. But I am for now free of the excessive sweating."

For Anxiety "This medicine, Atarax, is useless for anxiety. All it did was dry me out. I have Sjögren’s syndrome, and this is not a medication to be taken if you already have that immune system disorder."
