"i have generalized anxiety with agoraphobia. i hadn&#039;t had an anxiety attack in awhile and hadn&#039;t taken medicines for awhile until a few weeks ago when i attempted going to the mall and had a major panic attack. i went to the doctor and she put me on vistaril. i used to take xanax but was left feeling loopy and very tired unable to function. vistaril works very well for me without that drugged feeling and i don&#039;t have to worry about becoming addicted. i love it and would recommend trying it before other medication."
