Sedation
"My doctor prescribed 25-50mg of Hydroxyzine with Lexapro to help me sleep. I&#039;ve had Panic Disorder, Social Phobia and severe anxiety for 20 years (I&#039;m 30). I&#039;ve been taking Hydroxyzine for a week; the first night I did 25mg. It knocked me out but kept waking up every 2 hours. In the morning I had severe dry mouth and felt hungover. For each night since, I&#039;m still waking up every 2 hours but not having dry mouth or feeling hungover. My anxiety, however is greatly reduced. Tonight I will try 50mg and see what results I get. Overall it&#039;s a great drug, but my rating would be higher if it did the job it was intended to do."
