I do see a psych and a social worker as I am bi polar schizophrenic. Klonopin is a Benzo. Calms me. The vistaril is an antihistamine and anti inflammatory. I refuse to take any of those RA drugs! Nope.. I’ll hon with the what the rheumatologist says and if he’s correct all my organs will soon be affected and within 10 years I’ll be dead. He’s so blunt. At first , and by 3 other docs I was told it was all in my head, lonely housewives disease??!!, and fibromyalgia. I have a host of mental illnesses going on from childhood abuse ( of all kinds in every way and no way out) so I’m hoping to die. I’m f———— tired! ( excuse my French) but it’s frustrating

As a retired RN, I used a lot of Vistaril for my patients, both in Labor & Delivery (years ago) and with other postop meds in surgical recovery room. I have never heard it referred to or used as an anti-inflammatory drug? It definitely can be used as a great antihistamine and like so many of the older antihistamines, can have a mild sedative effect. (Great when you are itching from who knows what!) I know it is used for people who have been diagnosed for chronic hives/urticaria. Nice that it helps you feel better!

@susandenise You are sounding really down and tired. Has any thought been given to selling the farm and moving closer to your husbands job? I’m sure it would be much too difficult right now but it is something to think about.
Are you seeing a therapist?
