> My doc is gonna presribe it to me for social anxiety. Does it work well for anxiety and anxiousness? He wanted to try benzos but i refused because of the addiction potentiol and i don't want to take benzos for the rest of my life.
Vistaril did nothing for my anxiety except make me sleepy and anxious. I was on it for 6 weeks with varying doses and it just doesn't work for me. I too am not a candidate for benzos due to addictive qualities. Currently am on buspar (30mg split dosage) and a teeny bit of xanax. Eventually the third med I am on (effexor xr) should have a better efect on the anxiety and I'll be able to taper off the others.
Of course, everyone is different; but I haven't heard of many people who had relief from vistaril.
