Vistaril 25mg capsules: Has anyone had bad side effects from this drug? Experiences?

#mentalhealth #medication #anxiety

I've recently been prescribed Vistaril 25mg for anxiety and it's been helping, but I was curious to know if anyone else has experienced any concerning side effects. The leaflet mentioned some potentially serious ones but also that they are rare. I'm just a bit worried as I have a history of adverse reactions to meds. How about you all? Good experiences? Bad experiences? I need to be sure this is the right route for me.

I wouldn't worry too much about the side effects. Every drug has them, and it's all about finding what works for you. Just make sure to stay in touch with your doctor!

I had a friend who had a serious reaction to Vistaril. It was scary. I would definitely recommend always having someone around when you first start taking it just in case.

I had a mild rash after taking Vistaril. I stopped taking it and it went away. Wish I had known about the serious skin reactions before I started taking it.

I take it for anxiety and it’s worked wonders. But I also take it at night because of the drowsiness. It’s been a lifesaver, but I’d hate to take something that could cause a severe reaction.

I take it for allergies and it works great for that, but the drowsiness can be intense. I’d say try it out but be cautious, especially if you're driving or operating machinery.

I actually found Vistaril to be really helpful for pre-op anxiety. The drowsiness helped me relax, but I kept waking up feeling groggy the next day.

I can’t believe this stuff makes people drowsy. It makes me so wired, and I feel like I could take on the world. But I’m not sure if it’s just a self-perception thing.
