Anxiety meds

[Elmijack15]

Just a comment I've been reading alot of posts on here where people are dealing with anxiety while going thru detox or taking suboxone and just wanted to share my experience, 7 years ago after taking narcotics and getting addicted, I went to a doctor who introduced me to suboxone, but the one thing I had really bad was anxiety and the last thing I wanted was to get benzos and she gave me a medication called Vistaril, it's not a benzo, it's not addictive and it works great for
anxiety. My uncle is a doctor and he said that is a great med that has been around for a long time. So if anyone wants to try it, talk to your doctor and see if it helps. I know it helped me tremendously. Hope I can help someone with this info while you're on your journey! best of luck to
all!

I will 2nd this post...
I have taken it for anxiety and it is not addicting.

[Elmijack15]

Yes, they are not addictive, I started taking 2 a day of the 50 mgs and made me sleepy at first and then my system got use to them and I was fine, after a while I would just take them when I felt anxious or irritable and I wound up throwing the rest out when they expired. For anyone going thru detox they will probably help you sleep at first too. Hope this helps

Is it really non addictive??????  I am afraid to take anything now.  Then again I am afraid of everything.

A psychiatrist prsrcribed it and it worked extremely well and doesn't take forever to kick in like some meds. They have different strengths I believe they gave me the 50 mgs. Glad to help!

Good information Elmjack.  I've read that it is also an antihistamine, and since runny noses and sneezing are a very common withdrawal symptom, you can kill two birds with one stone....

Thanks for the post!
