Hydroxyzine for Anxiety and Depression: Does it Work?

I took it! It helped me. Just take it at night because it's also prescribed the same as benedryl so it will make you sleepy

It made me super drowsy when I first started taking it. Now it doesn’t, but I haven’t noticed that much of a difference. There was just one time when I had an anxiety attack, and usually when that happens, I am a little shaken up and can’t function as well for the rest of the day. I took the hydroxyzine, though, and I wasn’t as shaken up afterward as I usually am and I was able to be productive during the remainder of the day. I also took it one time when I woke up in the middle of the night in a panic, and I think it was a little helpful then, too. Over all, the effects seem to be minimal, but I have noticed a few isolated incidents where it seemed to helpz

I get anxiety about taking my anxiety meds so I don't take them 😥😭😅

It's helped lessen it

I took it years ago on an as needed basis. It helped when my anxiety was mild. Not so much for high anxiety situations.

It’s good as needed short term I like it

It might help if you're anxiety isn't severe

I have been so afraid to try it! Did you??

It doesn’t do anything for me, but my wife takes it and it helps her

Yeah, it's for lighter cases of anxiety. I typically take buspar for worse anxiety
