I'm Bipolar but also with an anxiety disorder. I go to the guidance center for treatment and they decided to stop prescribing Xanax ( and all medications like it, because of their addictive nature) even to those of us who truly need it and don't abuse it. As you can see I am not happy with their desicion. However, My dr. decided to put me on Vistaril 25 Mg X3 a day to combat my anxiety. The medica...
If your Dr. suggests this drug,walk out and go to a new Dr.;The Dr. here is a Veterinarian! Of all the choices, the person prescribing this should be ashamed and go back to school.

A 1 star rating means Not Satisfied, 2 stars means Somewhat Dissatisfied, 3 stars means Somewhat Satisfied, 4 is Satisfied, 5 is Very Satisfied...for those of you reading these reviews. The capsule is easy to use, but the drug had no affect on my anxiety and it didn't even make me drowsy. A 50 mg dose had no affect on me whatsoever.

This drug has not really done a lot for me. The first time I took it I got extremely drowsy. It has worked only to help me sleep. I will not refill this medication.

I have severe mood swings and anger issues and have taken this drug. It seems to calm me down some but makes me more drowsy than anything. Also upon waking the morning after I find it very hard to wake up fully.

It increased the occurance of atrial fibrillation from once or twice a week to daily, not a good thing for a person with an aortic valve less than four months old.

Was given for insomnia. Will make me drowsy, but within the hour I am back up and wide awake. Will call Dr. to se what else will try. Was on Trazadone. Worked better than Vistaril, but was up in about 3 to 4 hours.
