> I am currently on 30mg Prozac and 300mg Neurontin. My pdoc just added Hydroxyz Pam (Vistaril) for anxiety. If you have taken Vistaril, I would like to hear about your experience and why it was prescribed to you. Thanks!!!!!!!

I haven't taken Vistaril (hydroxyzine pamoate), but I do take the similar Atarax (hydoxyzine HCl) occasionally. However, I don't take it for anxiety; I take it for hives when neither Zyrtec nor Benadryl seem to help (although a bad enough case of hives that will not go away causes its own kind of anxiety!). It works better for hives than anything short of prednisone.

I haven't really noticed any antianxiety effects, but then I don't really have a problem with anxiety. It can occasionally make me a little sleepy, though it isn't any more sedating than Benadryl.
