Has anyone else tried Hydroxyzine Pamoate 50mg Capsules? I was prescribed these for my anxiety and they seem to help, but I've been experiencing some side effects. I'm curious to hear about other people's experiences and to get some advice.

I've noticed a bit of drowsiness which I expected, but there are some other side effects I'm not sure are related.

The side effects described on the packaging are quite long and I'm not sure if I'm experiencing some of the minor ones, or if I'm overthinking it. I'd appreciate some input from others who have used this drug.

I experienced a really bad rash and I couldn't figure out what it was from. Turns out it was this medication. I had to stop taking it immediately and it took a while for the rash to go away. Thankfully, I didn't experience any other serious side effects though. If you see any of those signs, take it as a warning and stop the medication right away.

I took these for a bit before a surgery to help me sleep. They knocked me out cold, but I woke up feeling like I was in a fog the next day. Not sure if I'd take them again.

I'm not sure what the biggest issue with these is, but my doctor told me to try these and I don't think they were great for me.

Another user here - I've had some serious allergic reactions. Stayed away because of those. The pain and itching from hives was no joke.

I've been on Hydroxyzine for a while now and it's been a game-changer for my anxiety. The drowsiness is annoying, but it's worth it for me. I didn't experience any of the serious side effects, but I did get some dry mouth, which was pretty annoying. Chewing gum helped with that.

Hydroxyzine helped me a lot with my allergies. I used to have terrible itching, but these pills made it bearable. No serious side effects for me, just a bit of drowsiness.

I've been taking Hydroxyzine for a few months now. At first I was really nervous about the side effects, but so far I've only experienced mild drowsiness. I've heard horror stories, but I think the benefits outweigh the risks for me. Just make sure to stay in close contact with your doctor and if you experience any serious side effects, don't hesitate to seek medical help.
