"i used to take this medication for panic attacks, and it worked absolute wonders. it took about 30 minutes to kick in but really calmed me down and it wasn&#039;t at all addictive. i later found out i have severe hereditary liver problems and it has a bad interaction with what i have to take to keep my liver in check, so i can no longer take it. with the medicines combined i just felt foggy and had to sleep for at least 15 hours if i had to take a vistaril, i couldn&#039;t keep my eyes open and function until i&#039;d slept it off.

i&#039;m now trying out xanax, and i don&#039;t really like it, vistaril kept me calm longer and was just amazing when i needed it. with xanax the half life is just terrible and i end up with a worse panic attack than i began with."
