Hi, @doorman - I did a double take when I saw your post, as I'd been prescribed hydroxyzine in the past for a totally different reason: for allergies, to take at bedtime. I looked it up in Mayo Clinic's drug reference, and sure enough, it's used for allergy as well as for anxiety https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/hydroxyzine-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20311434?p=1.

Some members I'd like to invite into this discussion who have mentioned this medication include @mrser52 @mattkl817 @kbee6973 @gailb @abopp2022 @realtor123. Hoping they can share their personal experiences with taking hydroxyzine for anxiety or how things went for a loved one who took this med. @gingerw also may have some input.

Are you taking this now, @doorman? If so, how is it going?
