I was prescribed Hydroxyzine Pamoate 25mg Capsules for anxiety a few months ago, and I've had a mix of positive and concerning experiences. On the positive side, these capsules have significantly reduced my anxiety and helped me sleep better. However, I've also experienced some side effects that I'm not too keen on. I want to hear from others who have taken this medication. Have you experienced any severe side effects? What are some effective remedies for the drowsiness and dry mouth? My doctor mentioned these side effects are common, but I'm curious to know if anyone else has had similar issues. Please share your experiences and tips!

I've been taking Hydroxyzine for a while now, and while it does help with my anxiety, the drowsiness can be brutal. I've started taking it before bed to avoid feeling too tired during the day. Has anyone else found a good way to manage this side effect?

Hydroxyzine saved my life! I was having a severe panic attack and my doctor prescribed this. I felt immediate relief and no side effects. I think my body tolerated it well.

I had a rare but serious skin reaction to Hydroxyzine. I had multiple small skin spots within large areas of redness and swelling. I had to go to the hospital and was told to never take it again.

I'm glad I found this thread. I've been experiencing severe dizziness and fast heartbeat since I started taking Hydroxyzine. I'm going to call my doctor right away. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Dry mouth is the worst. I've started chewing gum and sucking on hard candy to keep my mouth moist. It's a small inconvenience compared to the relief I get from my anxiety, though.

I had a severe reaction to Hydroxyzine. I developed a rash and had trouble breathing. I had to go to the ER and was told to never take it again. Be careful, folks.
