It’s so crazy I took it first time today at 2:30am or so mind you I be skeptical of all these meds from doctors so I broke it into pieces a week prior and I took one not 30mins later I’m having a panic attack I don’t know if that attack was gonna happen regardless if I hadn’t taken that little broken piece or it caused me to have a panic attack k but it was scary my blood pressure went up to 174/100 or so but I had a panic attack k last Monday too mines are strong but short and I’ve been able to overcome them without meds but still very weird they’ve happened at 3am recently, also I had a feeling it was coming so I took it to see but I didn’t take all 50mg cause I’m like scared lol
I started taking this within the last two weeks for heart-pounding anxiety and I definitely notice the sedative effects and dry mouth. Gonna try to use it only at night if I can as it makes me spaced out in a non-fun way. I appreciate the deep-dive on this thing I’m putting into my body reluctantly.
You did such a great job explaining the pro's and cons associated with the drug. I've used it as needed. Maybe a few times every several months. It did help.
If you've been on a benzo for a long time and stop suddenly, Hydroyxzine won't stop the withdrawal effects of the benzo. If you start hydroyxzine first, then, I think it will reduce anxiety. But one shouldn't stop their benzodiazopine sudenly and switch to hydroyxine.
My doctor did EXACTLY this. I had been taking benzos for a solid 1.5yrs (4mg/day) then all of a sudden decided he's not prescribing them anymore and gave my hydroxyzine. It was horrible, especially since I was in college at the time. He later got busted by the DEA for things I can't recall but I'm guessing that's why he decided to stop prescribing them out of left-field. Anyways, yes, hydroxizine in that situation won't touch your anxiety/ptsd symptoms.
@@bulletproofair because he is getting a kickback from pushing/selling hydroxine, i got hit run by car which shatered my hip but they insist hydroxine is best for me i said fk and off i will drink hard alc instead, they called me for weeks to see a head shrink because i had beef with a nurse in training bulldogging in trauma unit so they signed me up to be called every week by some residents in training to be quacks
3 mg Klonapin since 2004, 100 mg Hydroxzine has gotten down me to .05 Klon in about 6 month taper I still need the .05 Klon but so so impressed I went a few night klonapin free and the .5 still makes all the difference
I take 50. Mgs hydroxyzine pamoate (Vistiril) 4 times a day as part of my bipolar cocktail. Gabapentin, Zoloft and Remeron keep me stable. Good luck honey, I am pretty sure you will be ok. Oh I had been on Xanax 9 yrs. I was up to bars when a psychiatrist switched me to klonopin and then the Vistiril. I am much better off without benzos.
Im prescribed 1 one mg Clonazepam at night with other meds. I usually try to break it in half and try to sleep thru the night but sometimes I wake up and use the other half. Insomnia is terrible. Orazapine seemed to help me a lot. I didn't get much from visteril
I tried 25mg and then 50mg for anxiety and it didn't seem to help. The 50mg just made me drowsy during the day and I didn't like this. A couple years later and a different doctor, started me at 100mg at night, and I find it more helpful than anything before it for anxiety. I'm a bit foggy for 2 hours when I wake but My anxiety has improved. I did notice I was starting to miss doses of my Metoprolol every now and then, This video got my attention that it inhibits the metabolism of my BP med. That seems to explain it. I will bring this up to my doctor the next time I see him. Thank You!
yea its total bs "modern medicine", so i just resort to hard alc ... "can i have just 4 benzos a month" -no, those are addictive "yea but so is all this other bs you quacks hand out".. fkng quacks these days
Hi Doc 👋 I have been taking hydroxyzine for approximately 4 years. I suffer from skin issues and it helps keep away the scratching at night. I’m at 50mg dose daily, taken at night. I sleep uninterrupted. I do get a minor headache here and there but I just drink more water 💦 the next day. No constipation. A little sinus dryness but no big deal as I live in a high humidity zone. I’m a healthy female with no underlying health issues, so this works great for me. Along with Hydroxyzine I take Progesterone, Minoxidil, folic Acid, Iron. That’s it. So here you have a , 4 year review. Thanks 😊
You're welcome! That is an adverse effect, and if you have more sympathetic responses to anxiety, a beta blocker may be better tolerated. A good conversation to have with your doctor. Also, consider vagus nerve stimulation to improve parasympathetic tone and heart rate variability, which will decrease anxiety by decreasing the sympathetic response.
@@LevelheadedMind thank you so much as always. Is there a good way to stimulate the vagus nerve. Also is vitamin B1 good for and anxiety? Thank you as always and I pray that you enjoy the rest of your day.
In my experience Hydroxyzine was really helpful with anxiety and panic attacks but it made me gain weight, increased my appetite and it made me swell :/
How fast does it kick in for your anxiety,and how many mg do you take a day,and how long do the effects last from it,do you take it everyday or as needed
Seems interesting. I’d consider giving it a shot but drug interactions do sound like it might not be totally compatible. I’d prefer to try Buspar to see whether that helps cos there doesn’t seem many great options for anxiety alone. I’d be interested if you covered some of the TCAs like amitriptyline and Nortriptyline and what the differences and similarities are and what they help the most. Where I live they are still used sometimes cos some people don’t improve on SSRI
@@hopeevo4943 I hope it helps you. One problem here in U.K. is that the max daily dose of hydroxyzine has been lowered to just 100mg a day due to concerns over its affect on QT interval on the ECG. So at this low dose I’m left wondering if it wouldn’t be so effective. The buspar seems worth looking into though
I am taking it now. I first took half of a 25 mg. tablet and 30 minutes later I took the other half. This is my 3rd day and it is not helping as fast as it did the first day but it is helping. I am working my way back to taking Ecitalopram.
Hopefully she won’t. It’s an old school blood pressure medication that can lead to hypertensive crisis upon abrupt withdrawal. To consider this safe compared to benzodiazepines is jumping the shark big time. Clonidine is not used much anymore for BP due to its side effects.
@@timothyayers8596I think guarafacine would be a better alternative. Honestly no psychiatrist in my area prescribe benzodiazepines anymore. They offer ssri’s as first line treatment along with a beta blocker
My Latuda does that. It’s the WORST feeling your legs crawling. My Dr prescribed Benzotropine and I haven’t had restless legs since. I’d ask your Dr. for some.
Very informative . I got prescribed hydroxyzine for panic attacks on adderall. Kinda made dry mouth even worse for obvious reasons lol but that's gone away . The main thing for me is the super vivid and intense dreams on hydroxyzine. I miss them . Now that I've taken to for a while they're gone . They felt so real and I could lucid dream easily.
Wow. Your on amphetamine salts and experience panic attacks and no one suspects the stimulant your on ? The biochemical pathways by which panic attacks occur are not completely known but adrenaline and deficiencies in the GABA-ergic systems (none of which are significantly altered by hydroxyzine) that are good targets. A fast acting benzodiazepine used only when a panic attack is on coming would be something you should have available to you. A systemic beta blocker like propranolol could also help out suffice you have normal blood pressure and no contraindications. Do you really feel you need the amphetamine salts ? They amp up the CNS and panic attacks should be a warning sign that the drug may not be for you. Best wishes and hope you feel better.
First dreams I’ve woken up from with consistently happy feelings in many years. My hubs tells me I was working out some serious stuff in my sleep before I started taking it!
Since 2004 I’ve worked my way up to 4mg Klon daily, never less than 2 mg until last month Hydroxzidine at 100 mg has gotten me to .O5 Klon and have faith I can get it to .25 which is a miracle W/ the results I’ve had so quickly, I have hope to get off benzos I’ve already successfully went from a standard 3mg Klon a day SINCE 2004 to .05 I have hope to be Klon free .. While popping hydroxizine
Hi! I have a question! Do you know if taking hydroxyzine with duloxetine and subutex can cause problems? I was prescribed hydroxyzine for itching. It does help. I noticed that it does have a sedative effect like benzos. I sleep for a very long time.
I have taken Hydroxyzine 50 mg for anxiety since 2009 off and on. I feel it has a subtle affect if any. I don't have side effects. In the hospital they use it a lot, as they don't give ant Benzodiazepins much any more like Kloopin. I also other medications like Porpranolo,10 mg. 3x a day, and not sure if it helps, again maybe subtlety.
hi Jezel! Thanks for Caring! I ran across the QT Prolongation in this video per chance and wondered if that has something to do with A palpitation episode that landed me in emergency for several hours. I take citalopram37.5 mgs day and 4 mg o fAtivan 4 times per day. could this be causingit and wou buspar be a good replacement citalopram also knocks down my erections. We haveBlue Crossblue Shile POs can you work to some extent with themon this? thanks so much Arthur
I was given this for GAD, I do not take any type of medications or have ever had to take medications. I was prescribed 50mg four times a day as needed. I have been dealing with really bad anxiety, but I am also afraid of the reaction and side effects of this. Should I take 25 mg to start or is 50mg the normal starting dose for a person that doesn’t take any meds
@ it works okay, but I also do not like taking pills. So I do not take the full amount prescribed to me. It makes me sleepy/tired. It does calm me down but with my job I cannot be sleepy like that.
So, would you then be able to take Benadryl, for example, for anxiety and/ or withdrawal symptoms from substance abuse? That’s a connection that I’m making? lol 🤷♀️
Hydroxizine just helps me sleep but makes me wake up SO TIRED. I take hald the 25 mg dose they give me too and it just knocks me out. But I have severe pain and ptsd and horrible nightmares so I go weeks without real sleep and then finally give in and take half of one tablet and sleep pretty solid.
i just have 1 question. Someone please answer with the right answer please. IS THIS PILL SUPPOSED TO FEEL LIKE A SUGARY WHEN TOUCHES THE TOUNGE OR WHEN BREAKS DOWN???? or is this pill supposed to be hard as a pill like advil or something like that?!!!
My experience with hydroxyzine I take 2 50 mg at bedtime for Sleep which doesn't work and it's never worked for my anxiety or my panic attacks the only thing that works for my anxiety and panic attacks is diazepam at least two other medications you listen here on the screen on never heard of them the one in the middle sounds like the medication you take to put you to sleep for surgery
@@rudestbeast4907 Benzos aren’t the magic pill you think they are, one day you’ll wake up and they won’t work the way they used to and then your rebound anxiety will be 4x worse than you were before starting benzos.
A much safer medication for anxiety but it can cause sleepiness. It’s an antihistamine so the body doesn’t build a tolerance to this drug as opposed to benzodiazepines . Benzos create tolerance after just a few days and truly does if a patient is taking a daily dose for weeks. Tolerance is when the body needs more of the drug to reach the desired affect. The risks is that tolerance developed for most people taking it for weeks at a time every day.
If you take it, don’t drive on it. Be where you’re going to be because you will be asleep soon after you take it. It’s good for anxiety because you don’t know that you’re having an anxious episode if you’re SLEEPING!! Lol
That’s not true for everyone. I can take my 10 mg and not deal with any tiredness. It’s depends on the dose and the persons sensitivity to the sedative effect
It doesn't work. I was so disappointed because I wanted an alternative to alprazolam so that doctors don't have to turn pale when they see that I've been prescribed it. Incredibly disappointing. It didn't even make me drowsy or, quite frankly, any changes at all with regards to my panic attacks and the feeling you have when you have multiple panic attacks. You know the kind of dread feeling of impending doom that other people who haven't experienced it cannot relate? Benzodiazepine medications have saved my life. If only you knew, but this comment is already becoming TLDR, so later web Universe!
When I was a kid in the 60's I took the 25 mg. for allergies, it worked for that, I have never had anxiety but I could see how it could take the edge off.
I use 50 mg at night for sleep and prn for anxiety. It helps, but unlike a lorazepam, I cannot go out or drive with hydrozine...makes me way too tired.
Anti histimes are a big deal and so are histamines,as we have to keep gut histamines in check, or you may find you are allergic to many foods-even things like spinach. May I reccomend Dr Josef on you tube.
@@marsenarichmond2208There are different types of histamine receptors. Histamine produced by microorganisms in your gut are beneficial because they are anti-inflammatory.
This type of medication does nothing for my anxiety, the same can be said for inderal. Doctors prescribe these meds simply because they dont want to prescribe benzos. The same can be said for the anti depression medication trazadone for sleep (one of the worse medication i have ever had). Drs are to worried about the DEA than what is best and what works for their patients.
I was prescribed sertraline, hydroxyzine, and propranolol for my anxiety. I take the sertraline and propranolol daily and the hydroxyzine on an as-needed basis.
Just took a 25mg on top of my 10mg buspir….anyone got any advice? Felt so hopeless and was losing it so I popped. Hydro as docter said these would help in an emergency situation…I work tonight for first time in 4 days please tell me I won’t be too out of it🤦♂️
Great video but that snapping noise is horrible and may lead me to needing hydroxyzine LOL. I could not watch many videos with that noise, it's obnoxious

No, Benadryl does not help anxiety but Hydroxyzine does..it acts on serotonin receptors as well as histamine. Also gives better sleep in my opinion!
Hydroxizine just helps me sleep but makes me wake up SO TIRED. I take hald the 25 mg dose they give me too and it just knocks me out. But I have severe pain and ptsd and horrible nightmares so I go weeks without real sleep and then finally give in and take half of one tablet and sleep pretty solid.
Wondering how hydroxyzine would fit in with SSRIs or bupropion. Also, as an antihistamine, is it itself anticholinergic?
I hated hydrozyzine. I was zoned out! Klonopin works for me.
they only prescribe benzos to women, men just go back to hard alc
@@rudestbeast4907 hahahahaha. Made me laugh bruh!
I just made me sleepy.
I am not a nurse ....thank you about your information..😊
Hi, does hydroxyzine work for claustrophobia??? I really need to know, I can't take benzos
i just have 1 question. Someone please answer with the right answer please. IS THIS PILL SUPPOSED TO FEEL LIKE A SUGARY WHEN TOUCHES THE TOUNGE OR WHEN BREAKS DOWN???? or is this pill supposed to be hard as a pill like advil or something like that?!!!
im sorry in other words i could’ve use instead of sugary. Does it suppose to dissolve on the tongue type?
Works really wells for me
My experience with hydroxyzine I take 2 50 mg at bedtime for Sleep which doesn't work and it's never worked for my anxiety or my panic attacks the only thing that works for my anxiety and panic attacks is diazepam at least two other medications you listen here on the screen on never heard of them the one in the middle sounds like the medication you take to put you to sleep for surgery
Should i take the whole 25 mg pill or cut it in half???
This antihistamine tripled my anxiety they actually listed me as allergic
made my heart race, so they keep offering it to me, i ask for 4 benzos a month, i hate quacks.
@@rudestbeast4907
Benzos aren’t the magic pill you think they are, one day you’ll wake up and they won’t work the way they used to and then your rebound anxiety will be 4x worse than you were before starting benzos.
A much safer medication for anxiety but it can cause sleepiness. It’s an antihistamine so the body doesn’t build a tolerance to this drug as opposed to benzodiazepines . Benzos create tolerance after just a few days and truly does if a patient is taking a daily dose for weeks. Tolerance is when the body needs more of the drug to reach the desired affect. The risks is that tolerance developed for most people taking it for weeks at a time every day.
Everyone is different - this never worked for me
It had no effect for me
Any weight Gain if taken longer
If you take it, don’t drive on it. Be where you’re going to be because you will be asleep soon after you take it. It’s good for anxiety because you don’t know that you’re having an anxious episode if you’re SLEEPING!! Lol
That’s not true for everyone. I can take my 10 mg and not deal with any tiredness. It’s depends on the dose and the persons sensitivity to the sedative effect
It doesn't work. I was so disappointed because I wanted an alternative to alprazolam so that doctors don't have to turn pale when they see that I've been prescribed it. Incredibly disappointing. It didn't even make me drowsy or, quite frankly, any changes at all with regards to my panic attacks and the feeling you have when you have multiple panic attacks. You know the kind of dread feeling of impending doom that other people who haven't experienced it cannot relate? Benzodiazepine medications have saved my life. If only you knew, but this comment is already becoming TLDR, so later web Universe!
Was it 25mg or 50mg you we're taking?
It doesn't work for you maybe. it works just fine for my wife, she swears by it
@@ADPTHEONE21how’s it going do you feel better? I just got it prescribed too
When I was a kid in the 60's I took the 25 mg. for allergies, it worked for that, I have never had anxiety but I could see how it could take the edge off.
Your lucky you never had it
I'd fall in love if she was my doctor...😮
Never worked for me at all
Isn't hydroxyzine Benadryl stronger cousin?
Benadryl does nothing for anxiety
@@boatergirl4811 that I do know that neither Benadryl or Vistaril can stop or relieve anxiety
I use 50 mg at night for sleep and prn for anxiety.
It helps, but unlike a lorazepam, I cannot go out or drive with hydrozine...makes me way too tired.
are you aware of the increased risk of dementia with using it long term?
I have used Hydroxyzine for 2 years str8, it was helpful and i didn't have side effects. My Dr, Says this an antihistamine so its not that big deal
Anti histimes are a big deal and so are histamines,as we have to keep gut histamines in check, or you may find you are allergic to many foods-even things like spinach. May I reccomend Dr Josef on you tube.
@@marsenarichmond2208There are different types of histamine receptors. Histamine produced by microorganisms in your gut are beneficial because they are anti-inflammatory.
This type of medication does nothing for my anxiety, the same can be said for inderal. Doctors prescribe these meds simply because they dont want to prescribe benzos. The same can be said for the anti depression medication trazadone for sleep (one of the worse medication i have ever had). Drs are to worried about the DEA than what is best and what works for their patients.
Amen I quit3a Dr that jumps on DEA SCARYCAT Wagon...b a good Dr n don't allow DEA to determine what is right for one is right for All 6:22
If its anything like benadryl that's worst thing for my anxiety. Id say makes it atleast 20x worse
That finger snapping is irritating. Just saying.
Yeah.
Take a hydroxyzine.
Definitely
Long term use bad for 🧠 ???
Dementia etc ???
Hated it. Made me feel too drowsy during the day
I was prescribed sertraline, hydroxyzine, and propranolol for my anxiety. I take the sertraline and propranolol daily and the hydroxyzine on an as-needed basis.
At what age did you start taking anxiety meds?
Do propranolol and Hydroxizine interact?
I thought propranolol was for hand tremors that’s what my doc gave me it for
It doesn’t work I’m a registered nurse she give it to people all day long it didn’t do a thing.
Just took a 25mg on top of my 10mg buspir….anyone got any advice? Felt so hopeless and was losing it so I popped. Hydro as docter said these would help in an emergency situation…I work tonight for first time in 4 days please tell me I won’t be too out of it🤦♂️
this made me very depressed after taking 50 mg at night for sleep......but also taking klonopin with it...
Then how do you know come on man
Great video but that snapping noise is horrible and may lead me to needing hydroxyzine LOL. I could not watch many videos with that noise, it's obnoxious
Sorry.
I mean it kinda works I guess. Better than the bottle of Klonopin I have
To me this is way stronger than Xanax I take one pill in I’ll be sleep for like 3 days 😂
It did NOTHING FOR ME
Didn't help my anxiety at all. It was like swallowing air. Nothing!
It doesn’t help me at all
