"I have some conditions and I'm in pain 24/7. I use Fentanyl 100mcg every 72 hours and Percocet 2 every 6 hours. I have other medications; but with Vistaril, I don't have to use the dosages of Percocet as prescribed. I'm a veteran."

"I take OxyContin 60 mg 3x a day, and Roxicodone 15 mg 4x a day for chronic back/neck pain. Sometimes I do too much walking or get severe neck pain that the pain meds don't control. I add one 25 mg Vistaril, and it enhances my pain meds' effectiveness. About 3 to 4 hours later, I become EXTREMELY drowsy and often fall asleep, not good in the middle of the afternoon! I think the occasional Ativan is almost as helpful, w/o all the sedation. Good drug, only if I can afford to be asleep."

"I was given Vistaril for pain soon after a neck fusion. The surgeon refused to believe that I was in such severe pain after he 'fixed' me. Within hours of taking the medication, I was in a deep fog. I could not concentrate or think clearly. This medicine also made my legs ache, and I could not sleep until this medication was out of my system."

"Great pain medication, much better than oxycodone without the side effects."

"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."

"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."
