I don't know about you, but I get twitches and itches with anxiety and this clears it up. I do not take this on a daily basis, only when I feel like I have itching or twitches. It works. I'm not sure why people give this to people as a replacement for depression or anxiety meds otherwise. But for itching it totally works.

Overall calms my anxiety attacks down after I take it and helps stop my crying sometime doesn't work effectively if I take it so far along into my attacks.I was also prescribed it one to two times daily as needed for anxiety.

Was on various depression meds for last 5 years. Lexapro made me more aggressive, was on it maybe 2 months. Went to psychiatrist for the first time, he started wellbutrin and sertraline for depression. Helped some, but side effects. Went to wellbutrin and cymbalta. Cymbalta worked pretty well, but felt a little drugged sometimes, not to mention the constant constipation. My psychiatrist then diagnosed that anxiety was also a component of my issues. He upped my cymbalta, which helped some, but got to where I didn't like the way I felt on that dosage. Finally started seeing the VA doctor after my psychiatrist was hospitalized (no, he wasn't mentally ill). The first psychiatrist I saw there put me on the hydroxyzine pamoate with the wellbutrin. I thought, yeah, right, just an antihistamine, figures, it is something cheap the government would prescribe. But, always wanting to obey the doctor, I gave it a try. No improvement immediately, but 2 or 3 months after I started, I began to feel different, more peaceful, but not drugged. AS time went on, I felt even better, and am thankful the doctor put me on it. I was able to survive a tumultuous period on my job with a new supervisor and maintain my composure, even for 6 months of hell, until things worked out. I would have exploded in the same situation on the old meds. Also, since I am less anxious, my concentration seems to have improved. I'm on 25mg twice a day. I'm not drowsy like I thought I'd be. I'm just overall happier. Still have some anxiety and depression, but I don't feel so hopeless anymore. Anyway, for what it's worth, hope this helps.

I think doctors need to quit giving patients an "Antihistamine" to treat Anxiety. This is just absolutely wrong!! So, you want to DRY Our Sinuses out in order to effectively treat Our Anxiety?? This is misuse I would say!! USE the Antianxiety medications... it is not fair for those of us who need medication... do too Junkies Misusing Medications!!
