Anxiety
"Hydroxyzine is a pretty great medication for me. I mean, it isn&#039;t a perfect drug; I feel slightly foggy and out-of-it whenever I use this medication and the only thing it does for my anxiety is to take the edge off. 



That being said, hydroxyzine is pretty much exactly what I&#039;ve been looking for. It takes care of my anxiety when it&#039;s worse than usual but not nearly intense enough for me to feel justified in using a benzodiazepine while only causing a minor degree of cognitive impairment. 



Be sure to take this medication with a few glasses of water and some food (and maybe even an antacid), as hydroxyzine is dehydrating and can cause heartburn or other stomach issues if taken on an empty stomach."
