 5  Severe case of hives I fell asleep very quickly.. almost like a zombie state, I mean instantly with a 25mg pill. Caused me to sleep almost 14 hrs. I since learned if I quartered them it worked fine for a normal 8 hrs sleep. But it is wonderful and gave me relief almost immediately when NOTHING else helped. Also excellent to use for inflammation of various types (mucuous membrane) to halt histamine production. Apparently my physician thought the hives were caused by anxiety which it's also good for. I'd had them a month, no known trigger and nothing else gave me relief and the Atarax worked like a miracle!! thank goodness. F 50 2 days

 2  Chronic hives Initially Atarax helped for my hives, but after taking 4 25mg each day, then 8 a day, then more and more, my hives still came out all over my body....It's like my body wanted more and more Atarax.....so then I went on Prednisone....and then Doxepin F 27 60 days

 2  allergies very drowsy (first few doses) seems to help with anxiety, as far as allergy relieve I can't tell..seems to help a little. in general anti-histimines don't work at all for me so this was sort of a last ditch effort. First few times I took it it put me to sleep like I'd been hit by a train...but that wore off. F 33 14 days

 4  hives reaction to antibitotics Nothing bad or serious. Made me VERY tired and sleepy (which was to be expected). I slept very deeply while taking it, which was good, because the hives kept me awake from the itching. Sometimes I woke up with a minor headache. Gave me brain fog and felt a little I would definitely take it again, if the need arose. F 47 10 days

 1  To apparently stop bedwetting I was a child then, but from what my mother and other relatives told me was that within a week I had ballooned. I got a huge stomach, and also seem to get man breasts. Which research I've been doing says that it goes back to the thyroid gland. I suspect that Atarax messed up the function of my thyroid. My mother discontinued use after the third dose or something like that, too late the damage was done. I've struggled with weight all my life, while my sisters had no problems, they might actually have been on the too skinny side, all this cosidering my birth weight was lower than both of theirs. I would appreciate any feedback if anyone else has had similiar experiences. M 33 3 days

 5  Chronic Hives No side affects that I can remember, maybe a sluggish metabolism. I take 1 25mg. pill every 3 days or so. If I don't take them I break out in hives all over my body. This pill has been a lifesaver for me and I couldn't live without it. F 40 30 years

 5  Severe Night Sweating The main side effect I experienced was sleepiness. Produced a 'cloudy' feeling in the morning, making it extemely difficult to wake up. Easily slept very deeply for 10 - 14 hours a night. It definately worked to ease my night sweats! I never wake up needing to change my clothes or the sheets anymore, ever! I'd also give it a rating of 5 as a sleeping pill. F 25 1 days

 5  Acute attack of hives I had the best sleep I've experienced for years! I do feel a little sluggish the next morning, but this tends to wear off as the day goes on. As a chronic insomniac, I've tried virtually everything in an effort to get a good night's sleep. Conventional sleeping tablets either don't work, give me rebound insomnia when I stop taking them, or make me feel so awful the next day that it simply isn't worth it. Purely by chance I discovered that Atarax works like a charm for me - 8 or more hours of deep, restful sleep. I don't take it every night as I suspect that the effect would wear off. Also, it isn't recommended for people with early signs of glaucoma, such as raised intra-ocular pressure, which my opthalmologist is monitoring me for. I just keep this wonderful pill as a sure-fire cure when I can't handle the insomnia any longer. F 58 8 months

 3  anxiety and runny nose side effects: background headache and sleepiness This medicine made me feel more like a woman, and that would be fine except I am a man and admitting that is fine as long as I don't say that outloud, that would be embarrasing. M 46 12 days
