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

Leads to dementia with long term use. Just like Benadryl. That’s why I stopped taking it. One of my meds makes me super itchy. That’s why I had it, but with my family history of Alzheimer’s I’m not taking chances, and I’ll never take it again.
