"i was given atarax for acute stress reaction and anxiety. the dr put me on 1-2 tablets at night at 25mg each, it zonks me and gives me a horrible headache and if taken with my pain medicines i can&#039;t even lift my head. it&#039;s an alright medication but after doing research and finding it&#039;s only a short term medicine i think i need to find something else that works just as good and is safer for a longer term use."
