"&quot;atarax&quot; was prescribed to me in a &quot;controlled environment.&quot; i was prescribed klonopin originally, but the 0.5mg dosage wasn&#039;t enough for my anxiety and with the medication (suboxone) i was currently taking there is a risk of taking benzodiazepines while on suboxone (like, death). 
anyway, atarax was prescribed. i can&#039;t remember the dose now, i know it was more than 10mg, but it was 4-6 x daily as needed. it seemed to be working alright at first, but i think it was the controlled environment, when i left, it stopped working for my anxiety and panic attacks and has not had any useful effect since.
*didn&#039;t experience any side effects"
