"i was prescribed this because i told my doctor that my anxiety is out of hand to the point that i want to increase my xanax dosage. i told him i knew that that was a bad idea because i don&#039;t want to become dependent or addicted. (psst... i already am.) i&#039;ve tried ssri antidepressants (prozac and celexa) for anxiety &amp; they both gave me severe sexual side effects (i could no longer feel anything positive sexually). then i tried wellbutrin, an atypical antidepressant, &amp; it was very energizing which caused more crippling anxiety. then i tried hydroxyzine at 50mg &amp; felt nothing. then 150mg, still nothing. then 250mg-still no noticeable changes. i only weigh 120lbs &amp; this med didn&#039;t even make me slightly sleepy. obviously not for everyone."
