> Atarax (Hydroxyzine) is considered not to be addictive or habbit forming, but just like you I had to spend some disturbed sleep nights when I came off it. Personally, I don't like that stuff
I like it. Even 12mgs are enough to put me to sleep! What i do NOT like is that it is long-acting. If i take even a small dose late at night, i will be drowsy for half of the next day. :-(
> because not only does it lose its sedative efficacy over time, the fatigue it causes never ceases at all even after repeated dosing.
I know. I think that this is the case for all sedative antihistamines. That's why i don't take it dayily and i try to do breaks from it, although the previously mentioned withdrawal symptoms make this somewhat difficult.
