| 4 | Itch | Could not wake up, sleepy the whole day, could not concentrate on work due to sleepiness. Woke up feeling light headed, like a hangover. | F | 23 | 1 days 25 | 1/29/2015 | 5 | allergies/anxiety combined | sedative effect upon talking- however the best medication by far I have ever been described. I cannot rate it enough. if having an allergy flare up, the tablet works within ten minutes and I am symptomless. Also calms me right down when feeling anxious. I suspect this drug is not for everybody. But I would suggest definitely worth a try. WONDER DRUG! | F | 26 | 2 years 25 1X day | 2/1/2015 | 3 | anxiety | I did take the anxiety away only because it knocked me out. Made me feel so drunk and when i woke up i had the worst hangover like symptoms. | F | 21 | 5 days 50mg | 3/19/2015 | 5 | Anxiety. Sleep was secondary. | It complements the Klonopin. So be prepared to get deep long hours of sleep. Like 12 hr. plus. | M | 37 | 10 months 50 mg. | 5/24/2015 | 4 | Hives (To help sleep and itch) | Was originally to help w/ itch from hives. I have insomnia and WOW this drug has made such a difference. Doctor prescribed two scripts of it during my 1 month of hives. Just taking one a night until I run out and it helps immensely just getting me to sleep. I just need that extra help falling asleep. I'd say it helps with sleep quality as well. Very satisfied. | I had zero side effects other than the purpose the drug was created. | F | 21 | 2 months 25mg | 6/9/2015 | 2 | hives | Drowsiness, can't seem to wake up in the morning, lack of concentration, sluggish through out the day, weight gain to name a few.. blurred vision since last few hours.. | If I don't take atarax or delay my dose I m covered with rashes.. this is not helping much, I mean I will have to take it life long :( | F | 40 | 2 years 10 | 6/16/2015 | 2 | Insomnia | I am not sure if it is the side effect of this drug or of Zoloft (I was put on both at the same time), but I am almost comatose and feel clumsy...constantly dropping things on The floor… | Side effects were much less pronounced the 1st week I took this drug...and was on a half dose of 25 mg | F | 61 | 10 days 50 | 6/28/2015 | 4 | anxiety | Extreme gas | F | 55 | 1 weeks 25 | 10/30/2015 | 2 | anxiety | Hard to wake up headach didn't talk to anyone so I just quit talking it what can happen to me | M | 26 | 3 days 25mg | 11/12/2015 | 1 | anxiety | Extremely sleepy fatigue weight gain sugar cravings | F | 28 | 1 years | 11/17/2015 | 4 | Allergy | So far I could no feel any side effect but I feel inconvenient when I have not sufficien sleep.If I stop again alergy will start. | I am worried side effects in future. | M | 62 | 4 years | 11/27/2015 | 4 | Chronic hives, anxiety, not sleepin | It works, meaning it takes away hives and anxiety and sleeping well. But, I'm tired AlL the the time and feel nauseous for about 2 or 3 hours a day and I cano think. Sleep most of day. | I cut the pill in half, but I get hives. It makes me feel nauseus more of the day too.still, it's good for anxiety- I went to the store and did not have a panic attack! | F | 44 | 2 months 10 mg | 12/30/2015 | 4 | Anxiety | I also have took myself off and I am now itching ALL OVER ..anyone know how long it takes to get out of your system?? | This medicine did help me initially but I found I was getting clumsy ...angry and putting on weight .I have enough problems with hypothyroidism… gaining weight feeling as if I have dementia because my brain doesn't function !!! I read that Atarax can also exacerbate these symptoms and that it's not meant long term usage so I've weaned myself off it . | F | 59 | 3 years 60mg | 6/4/2016 | 5 | Anxiety, OCD, allergies, + asthma. | * Sedation (mild-moderate) * Dry Mouth (mild) * Increased mucous viscosity (mild-moderate) | This has been an almost perfect medication for me. It works with my Allegra to knock my allergies out, it can stop panic attacks and ruminative episodes cold, it increases my peak flow meter readings, and it gives me amazing dreams. Furthermore, it reduces my chronic nocturnal asthma symptoms and boosts my mood, which is a little odd since this medicine is supposed to worsen these condition, but I'm not complaining. | M | 20 | 6 months 10 mg | 9/3/2016 | 1 | For dust allergy | My whole body is aching and I don't know what can I do know ?if I am not take then too much ich | Can some one help me to get out this frustrating condition | F | 43 | 2 years 25mg | 10/5/2016 | 5 | Axiety, bad sleeping, itching. | It's difficult to get out of bed in the morning, I feel very tired, lost the strenth and will for exercising. Sometimes my eyes are dry when waking up. | But, it really works for the issues I'm dealing with. I wasn't getting a good sleep, waking up at 3am and not being able to fall asleep again, or intermitent sleeping during all night. Feeling anxious and stressed and moody all day long and suddenly the itching problem; first just the hands, next day both hands an feet, and as sudden as the itching appeared it suddenly stopped. The very first night I took Atarax all went to normal: sleeping 7-8 hours, feeling relaxed, and no more itching or red spots on my skin. But then I noticed it was getting really hard to get me out of bed every morning and didn't even want to think about exercising; I'm a morning person, and doing exercise is part of my nature, it feeds me and energizes me.....but now, I'm draging myself out of bed. I'm also experiencing the need for more sweet things: sugar in tea, bread and marmelade. I've tried quitting Atarax, but itching starts again at the second day after doing so. The problem behind that itching is not known in my case, my dermatologist sugests is just an urticary problem wich can stop as sudden as it began. I'm going to cut my dosage to 5mg and see if it still works helping with a good sleep, the anxiety and the itching, but without dragging me so down. | F | 51 | 2 months 10 mg 1X day | 11/19/2016 | 5 | For night time itching | very sleepy | It has stopped my itching witch was driving me mad so 10 out 10 | F | 85 | 6 days 30 my | 5/14/2017 | 5 | Sever allergic react.,hives,puritis | Had a severe allergic reaction w/hives & rashes all over stomach & back.Took the inside itch away by day 3 but noticed lucid nightmares, shaking hands & muscle aches | Dr said I had puritis once I still had itchyness once rash was gone so these pills helped tremendously but the side effects are real but the hives & inside itchyness is worse to deal with. | F | 28 | 4 days 25 | 6/5/2017 | 2 | Sleeping | So so tired | Took one to help me sleep - slept ok but felt utterly terrible the next day - could have slept for a week on just one tablet. No energy whatsoever. Wouldn't take it again | M | 49 | 1 days 1X day | 11/26/2017 | 2 | Allergies/ Surgery | None | I've been prescribed this med a few times. No one seems to believe me, but it does absolutely nothing to me. It's like taking sugar pills. | F | 34 | 25mg 4X day | 1/9/2020 |
