"i&#039;ve struggled with anxiety my whole life i&#039;ve tried ssri and benzodiapams they ssri&#039;s made me sick and  sluggish and benzos are severely addicting and i refuse to become addicted to something. vistaril works great for me as you take it longer you won&#039;t be very sleepy. i take 10mg at night and only need it at night sometimes in the day and it lasts. i have no panic attacks. hardly ever. i went from having panic attacks daily to one every once in a while. i love this medication ."
