Anxiety
"After having surgery on my wrist, my mother suggested to the doctor to give me something to take the edge off of pain in between doses of hydrocodone.  I was given Vistaril (25mg) and told to take as needed for pain with my other meds and that I could take 1-2 of them within every 4 hours or so.  The doc also said it should tame down some stomach issue with the pain medicine (it did).
I noticed not only were they helping me with the pain but I felt relief from some of the anxiety of being out of work &amp; just not being able to function well without the use of my right arm.  I asked him about this at my next visit &amp; he said indeed it was known for help with that and that was in fact part of the reason he added it for me.
No side effects for me."
