For Allergies "For allergies, I give this medicine a perfect score, however, the side effects bring my rating down. I suffer from seasonal allergies, and most over-the-counter medicines work, but have limited and sometimes almost no effect. Hydroxyzine was prescribed to me for a skin condition, but I quickly realized that I didn't sneeze or sniffle for upwards of 3 days on one 25 mg dose. The side effects for me are heavy drowsiness when combined with alcohol or a few nights of inadequate sleep (where I would normally be 'okay' with coffee). Sometimes taking it before bed helps, sometimes it doesn't. I also feel removed and emotionless on occasion. These feelings get worse the longer I am on the medication. I don't get sad or happy - it's weird."

For Anxiety "Godsend. This stuff keeps me going through essentially everything my anxiety disorder throws at me. My heart rate goes through the roof during a panic attack, I get anxious, freak out, and my body spasms. With the Hyzine, it nullifies all of my symptoms and is replaced with a semi-euphoric drowsiness. Anxiety melts away. It makes you super tired, though. Exhausts you for a while. Once the drug is out of your system the sleepiness wears off, though. I use it for sleep because it helps me knock out when I'm restless in bed. Takes barely 15 minutes to go into effect completely once you've taken it, and it happens gradually. Best medicine I've been prescribed in my life. I doubt I'd be able to go through a day without fear without it."

For Anxiety "I took it like I was supposed to for anxiety and panic disorder. It did nothing, absolutely nothing. I'm in worse shape now than I ever was. Doctors, please get a grip, you can't treat us for just anything. It's like trying to treat athlete's foot with dandruff shampoo. We are people, we know that you're not supposed to get attached to it. The medicine sucks, doesn't help sleep, doesn't help panic disorder, doesn't help insomnia, doesn't help anxiety. I'm not sneezing - I didn't go in for an antihistamine. Do you think that Google won't tell us everything? It didn't take long to figure out. I mean nothing. Write a proper prescription."
