"i had my first (and only so far) panic attack april 14,2014. i thought i was having a heart attack and had my husband take me to the e.r.  after ekg was cleared the doctor gave me 2 xanax and told me i suffered from a panic attack. i have not been the same since. i have had anxiety, arm pain and jaw pain (from tension), heart palpitations, hot flashes etc. i saw my doctor and she set me up with hydroxyzine and it has been a life saver. 25mg up to 4 times a day as needed. i sleep great and function mostly every day normally. every now and then i have a bad day , but very far and few between. 100% recommended to everyone."
