Anxiety
"Unfortunately I had started seeing a new Dr that didn&#039;t believe in using any benzo&#039;s. She took me off my 9  yrs of benzo therapy &amp; prescribed Vistaril. Started with 25-50 mg, 4-6 times a day. It wasn&#039;t long before she raised me to, literally, up to 150 MG&#039;s, titrated over 40-45 mins! That was ridiculous, it also did nothing. 
Now I use my Vistaril for my allergies &amp; my current Dr has me alternating 3 x&#039;s each, approx 3-4 hrs apart - Xanax 2 mg with Vistaril 25-50 mg to &quot;extend&quot; the Xanax.
IMO, this medication stinks!! Doesn&#039;t even assist me to sleep."
