Reason: Itching / hives Date: 27 February 2007
Side Effects
Extreme sleepiness and grogginess, even up to 48 hours after taking this junk

Additional Thoughts
It made me like a drunk driver! If I take it at bedtime on Sunday night, ALL of Monday is likely to be shot, and possibly some or even all of Tuesday! I was also very prone to lots of mistakes and memory loss, even at age 20! These effects got WORSE over the years and then took two years to get it out of my brain after I stopped taking it! It do well, however, for the itching and hives. Due to screwing up my brain, it (Atarax) can just SIT IN THE FIRE!

Reason: Anxiety and to help me sleep Date: 19 March 2007
Side Effects
No side effects apart from a little sleepy.

Additional Thoughts
I have taken Atarax one 20 mg in the evening one hour before bedtime,to help me sleep, as I was suffering with anxiety. Having a bout of panic attacks and anxiety again at the moment, so I take my 20 mg a little earlier about tea time to calm me down, as the anxiety tightens my chest, which in turn knocks my balance and I become giddy and I hypoventilate. To relieve my bouts of anxiety, (and years ago I did get it anxiety bad, and had trouble going out, dont want to go there again), I get plenty of rest (with the help of Atarax, exercise, lavender baths, talking to somebody, try to reduce worry, let problems go over your head, or laugh at them!

Reason: General anxiety Date: 20 May 2007
Side Effects
None, except possibly some tiredness. No 14 hour nights like some people describe though (thankfully).

Additional Thoughts
Barely helped me at all. I started with 25mg when needed, didn't help, neither did 37.5mg. I then got the advice to take it at regular intervals, 25mg every four hours, that didn't help noticably either. I hear that it's great for others stuff (like hives), though.

Reason: Experienced a bad food allergy Date: 29 May 2007
Side Effects
After about an hour, my heart went into tachycardia and I swelled up like a giant, plump tomato. My skin was extremely hot to the touch, especially my face and the tops of my legs. Had to get to the ER and get IV steroids and Benadryl to counteract. This stuff is dangerous!

Additional Thoughts
I would not recommend taking this without some liquid Benadryl on hand.

Reason: Eczema Date: 22 June 2007
Side Effects
Puts me to sleep. No other side effects.

Additional Thoughts
I've been taking this drug for eczema for a long time on and off. When I have an episode with the eczema its worst at night, so the atarax helps me sleep without all the itching. I don't take it everynight. Only as needed. I was very miserable before I started taking it. Its been a Godsend for me.
