> 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 because not only does it lose its sedative efficacy over time, the fatigue it causes never ceases at all even after repeated dosing.

I am sorry you're having a rough time but isn't that sort of a blanket statement ? I admit there are better doctors than others...

Many drugs they promote as safe have been found to be very hard to come off. My doc always assured me I can come off Luvox (an SSRI) at short notice. But I had a very hard time recently even while tapering that med. And it was pure hell for many days after I took my last tab. I had to restart Prozac again to help me stabilize.

Prozac from what I've heard is frequently used to stabilize other SSRIs so this isn't unlikely. Paxil is harder to come off of the more "sleepy" SSRIs than Luvox.

And yes, I found Prozac the easiest of all antidepressants to come off though rebound depression is hard to deal with.
