"started having really bad anxiety &amp; panic attacks which i ended up in the er for. i was given xanax which helped out tremendously and i was fine for a long time. then i had another really bad panic attack and ended up back in the er. i was then prescribed hydroxyzine 25mg to take four times a day as needed which i ended up needing to take the following day because i had another panic attack it did nothing. the next day i had one at work at took another, since i was told to try it four times a day i figure maybe i would take one every 6 hours to see if maybe it can prevent a panic attack from even starting but nope! this medicine does nothing for me and with my anxiety and panic attacks it feels like i&#039;m having mini heart attacks. i rather take the xanax"
