"i have general anxiety disorder and i&#039;m prone to panic attacks. being afraid of benzo and it&#039;s addictiveness, i got this prescribed. so far it has worked great if i take 2 pills at once, and  the effect lasts for about 10 hours. i haven&#039;t really felt the hangover part people talk about, nor have i experienced headaches. the only thing i really have to complain about is that the breathing can get almost too relaxed at times, so when i fall asleep i wake up with a shortness of breath, as if my lungs forgot to inhale. it&#039;s no big deal though, happens maybe 3 times a night and it wakes me up. and i guess it would be nice to have a pill that takes away anxiety but doesn&#039;t make you tired (i sleep like a baby after 30 minutes after taking atarax)"
