"i suffer from anxiety, depression, and alcoholism (in recovery). i&#039;ve been using vistaril at 50 mg. three times per day for about 6 months now. i find it works well in combination with with neurontin (gabapentin). i like that the drug is non-addictive and available as a generic with little cost. i get a stuffy nose intermittently, that i believe to be a side effect of vistatil, but the benefit outweighs this minor side effect. i would recommend trying this drug if you suffer from anxiety. it works very well for me."
