Actually, my son was given this med for hives and he almost died from multiple seizures and the hospital staff overdosing him. Now my Dr. prescribed it to me for nausea and it plainly states a side effect is nausea. I think most Dr.s' just don't give a rat's behind.

Works well to help with itching and welts, but makes me extremely tired the next day and I only take it at bedtime. Not sure this is something I will keep taking.

I had been a long time user of Klonopin. Never had a prob with it and it really made my anxiety and quality of life better and much more able to partake in working at therapy. So my psychiatrist changed locations to another state, so was referred to another practice. I waited two months for an appt. New Psych said I don't prescribe benzos so for your anxiety I'm going to give you this awesome alternative that works for many of my anxious patients. Going to the pharmacy to pick it up there was some mixup at the pharmacy and the pharmacist had to call the dr. The dr. revealed that she did send it over and that she's been sending over prescriptions for this medication all day for other patients with no problem. A red flag went up then. She is a cookie cutter doctor who prescribes a fashion medicine to whomever comes into her office. Nevertheless I took this med for one week and each time i took it I felt weird. Like all flushed, heart beating out of my chest and didn't even touch my anxiety. So i had some Klonopin left over so i took that and immediately felt better. I went back to the dr and told her i've been duped into believing that this was a good med for anxiety when in fact it did nothing and she said i could up the dose. That made things worse. I flushed the remaining pills down the toilet and went back to her crying. SHe saw how worked up i was and didn't know what to do. Finally she broke down and gave me a prescription for Klonopin, but at a lower dose than what i was used to. I was fine with that and life went on. Not sure why this is such a wonderful med for anxiety. I talked to other friends who said the same thing. That docs are using it as a way to avoid benzos cuz the war on benzos. Lol.

I have epilepsy as well as anxiety and depression. I hate taking medications and have refused anything for my anxiety most of my life. This medication is a game changer. It relieves anxiety symptoms quickly and doesn’t cause me any side effects and is non-addicting. My son is prescribed it to help calm him before bed and for an anxiety prn and it’s also the only med he doesn’t refuse. I will not take anything addicting or that makes either of us “loopy”. Another perk is that is clears up any allergic reaction I get from working out in the yard. Read More Read Less

Was given this to help with allergies. Instead it gave me severe wheezing attacks when exercising. I did not have this problem before taking this drug. When I stopped taking it the wheezing attacks stopped. Very dangerous.

Heavy metal Poisoning from Titanium Dioxide and Iron oxide. Clear correlation. Opadry is a company that big pharma uses for psychiatric meds. Developed schitzophrenia after 1 month of use. Please do you research into PRIMARY (not alternative) natural medicine. Big pharma and commercial agriculture is poisoning the planet. Why take negative side effects from atarax when an herb will be more effective with no side effects. Solution: -Copious amounts of vitamin C (liposomal is best) combined with MSM (2,000mg) -Drink tons of water and exercise to sweat to excrete wastes -Sauna or steam room or sweat toxins -Dr. Christopher’s blood stream formula (first school of natural medicine in the western United States) used to treat for heavy metal poisoning. -Dr. Schulze potent detox herbs -frequent Epsom salt baths in distilled water -Cilantro and Chlorella (very powerful removing heavy metal poisoning) concentrated tincture -Vitamin B12, Vitamin B1, folic acidic. Neuroprotective. Chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax oil, neuro nourishing. -Vitamin C injection if severe -Eat only organic foods, lots of vegetables, fruits. Organic blueberries are high in anti-oxidants. -Eat balance amount of fats. Chia seeds, non-lignan flax oil, hemp seeds are most effective. Fats are very important for brain health. -Drink tons of water. Reverse osmosis or distilled water with trace minerals added, spring water is OK. -Tap water is Southern California is hard and municipal water supply contains toxic chemicals -Culligan charcoal water filter attaches to vitamin C filter (found on amazon) -Ginger, Tumeric with food -Chinese medicine doctor, Naturopathic doctor ND, DO, for herbs.Read More Read Less

I had difficulties falling asleep (not sure why) and could go a few nites with very little sleep. I tried magnesium tablets (for calming effects) but it does not really work. Doc prescribed Atarax (25mg per nite) and it had help me to fall asleep easily and increase the hours of sleep every nite. I had been taking it for up to 4 months without any increase in dosage.

I had massive hay fever for more than a decade which triggered inflammations in my respiratory tract. Even Atarax makes me sleepy it is the only medication which can fight back all symptoms and the inflammation. Unfortunately my health insurance does not cover it (to old) so I'm forced to buy it online. One way to find fair priced medications is: Drugeo.to which I can recommend to anybody.

Taken for rash and hives, which also caused severe itching in my eyes. Prescribed by dermatologist who suggested taking at night. 25mg up to 3-4 times a day as needed. Well I only use at night, which help me tremendously with the itch, as well as sleep. It also help me the next day and only had to take it at night again, Rash began to subside the first day and was gone completely in 4 days. I have been diagnosed with dermititis and eczema which have caused outbreaks often. I keep my pills handy.Read More Read Less

Iw had sleeping problems for over a a year. I fall asleep easely but wake up after about two hours and feel like I don't fall again into deep sleep. After starting taking Atarax I maybe wake up once a night but fall immediately asleep again. I feel a bit drowse when waking up but its worth it for a good night sleep.

I suffer from endometriosis. When my endo got worse I started itching really badly for episodes that would last up to 10 min. My doctor told me to take Atarax when needed only, which so far it's every 6 days. The first time I took it it made me very sleepy, but in a nice calmed way. After that first day I haven't been sleepy drowsy or anything alike.

This medicine affected me the opposite, made my anxiety worse and made me feel so weird. My whole body felt like I had icy hot on. It was so scary I couldn't wait for it to pass. It eventually made me fall asleep but didn't stay asleep, and felt like I had a hangover the next morning.
