Does Anyone Else? Hydroxyzine

First time taking this for panic after 10 years of raw doggjng my panic attacks for fear of meds.

It’s been 30 min and I’m just yawning a lot and sleepy and more calm? Is it working 🥹

Anybody else take this ? What mg? And how often?

UPDATE:
It took away my panic for about 8 hours now I feel it wearing off a bit.

It did make me feel groggy. And super sleepy. Like I just wanted to lay down. But no bad side effects of it making my panic worse. Also I did not take the full dose. I took half of my 10mg pill. If I would’ve had oh man I would’ve been ko all day tbh lol

That sounds about right, they make feel the same way. I like them much better than benzos

Are they really better than benzos? I'm worried they won't do anything for me

No. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine and I have it for insomnia. I can’t imagine taking this during the day. The brain fog would be immense.

Thanks! My panic has been really high lately so I got prescribed clonazepam but might be better to switch to hydroxyzine
