Has anyone taken ATARAX ?

Question

Did you experience drowsiness and confusion and if so how did you deal with it in your everyday life ?

Answer 1

Atarax (also known as Vistaril), generic hydroxyzine, is both a powerful antihistamine and fairly weak anxiolytic.  I took it for severe itching due to chicken pox.  I didn't get them until until I was an adult, but before the vaccine was approved.  It makes you severely sleepy, like Benadryl, and the lack of anxiety comes from the fact that you can't hold your eyes open.
