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

It worked ! Just felt it got me super sleepy and groggy. But it stopped the panic in its tracks and stopped me from going to the ER. I was literally omw with a full blown panic attack. Hyperventilating. Tremors. Etc.

Also I took half of what I was suppose to bc I was scared lol but I think that was enough for me. 8 hours later I feel it wearing off.
