I was recently prescribed Vistaril 50mg Capsules (hydroxyzine) to help manage my anxiety and relieve itching from allergies. I've been taking it for a few weeks now, and I must say, the drowsiness is quite pronounced. It definitely helps me relax, but I've had to be careful about when I take it because it can make me really sleepy. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm also curious about other side effects and how long it typically takes for the body to adjust. Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Vistaril is a lifesaver for my anxiety. No issues here, just a little drowsy. But it's worth it for the relief.

I just started Vistaril and I'm wondering how long it takes to adjust. The drowsiness is awful right now but maybe it will get better?

This thread is making me worried. I just started taking Vistaril and now I'm wondering if I should be concerned about side effects.

I had a really bad reaction to Vistaril. I developed hives and had trouble breathing. Scary stuff. I'm glad I was able to get to the ER in time. Be careful, everyone.

I had a tough time with Vistaril. The side effects were just too much for me. I had to switch to a different medication. Everyone is different, so just be mindful of how your body reacts.

I'm curious if anyone else has had issues with confusion while on Vistaril. I felt a bit off sometimes and it was scary. I’m going to talk to my doctor about it.

I take it before medical procedures because it calms me down and also helps with any itching. I just make sure to take it at the right time so I don't feel too drowsy during the day.

Vistaril works great for me, but I've had to deal with some dry mouth. Drinking lots of water helps, but it's still annoying.

I've never had any issues with Vistaril. It's been a game-changer for my allergy symptoms. Just make sure to follow your doctor's instructions and you should be fine.

I've been on Vistaril for a while now, and the drowsiness is definitely a thing. I take it at night, so it doesn't affect my daily routine. It's been a lifesaver for my anxiety and allergies. Just make sure to talk to your doctor about any concerns.
