"i was prescribed hydroxyzine as an anti nausea med  for after surgery. i quickly noticed how it calmed me down. post surgery bathing was especially anxiety inducing for me. i would take one before getting in so i could handle it. it also was the only way i could sleep otherwise i would be up after a couple hours due to inactivity (surgery was from a sports injury). 

i decided to get another prescription for it as an anxiety medication after having an anxiety attack. i took one to calm down and within minutes my panic was under control. 

highly recommended for post surgery and the occasional anxiety attack."
