For Anxiety "I was taking 50 mg three times a day. It worked awesome for my anxiety, however, after a month, I started having seizures and severe muscle twitching, and I had to stop it."

For Anxiety "Atarax is very helpful with panic attacks. So far, I take it only when I'm having panic attacks, not at a regular dose. It takes about 30-60 minutes to work and gives me a warm, safe, sleepy feeling."

For Pruritus "It really helped me stop itching from the atopic dermatitis. I had not slept for days. It does make you very sleepy at first, but then seems to make you less sleepy after a while."

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."

For Anxiety "Helped me a lot, non-addictive, but sometimes it keeps me half sleeping and half awake at nighttime, otherwise, it's a great drug for its calming effect. Thanks."
