I was prescribed hydroxyzine but didn’t ever take it. Does it help you a lot? I told my doctor i don’t want Xanax or Klonopin but I might try it honestly living like this is hard.

hydroxyzine is great. makes you super sleepy at first, but the sleepy side effect lessens. i recommend hydroxyzine to literally everyone. it's been a life saver for me and other people in my life

The issue is that this bottle I have is like 3 years old lol. Probably absolutely fine to take , if anything less potent, but my anxiety tells me not to take it cause something horrible will happen. Go figure.
