Guest guest Posted January 27, 2001 Report Share Posted January 27, 2001 It probably took about 2-3 weeks for me to notice any type of results with Atarax(hydrox.). Didn't ever feel high. Just extremely drowsy. Not able to function very much and was sleeping an obscene amount of hours. I was instructed to take one to two tablets daily. 25mgs each. I only ever got up to one a day. Couldn't gather the nerve up to take more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2001 Report Share Posted January 27, 2001 Hi Seth, With my daughter we noticed results within a few days but everyone is different. I can't remember the exact mg she was on (5 or 10) but she was instructed to take it 4 times a day. She has never experienced any funny or drowsy feeling from it or any other of her meds. She is one of the lucky ones and I just pray that never changes because the one way we keep her mind off of this is to keep her active and involved with different school functions and clubs because as long as she takes her meds faithfully her outbreaks are fairly light and tolerable. If she forgets her meds then she is miserable and looks awful but even when she is itchy we still continue as usual. She will never know how worried I am about this and her future but I am determined not to let this control her life anyway I can. As long as she can still get out and function she will because there might be a time when she can't. Donna (Richmond, IN) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2001 Report Share Posted January 27, 2001 Seth, My daughter takes the liquid form of hydroxizine and let me tell you it stinks but anyway it took her about almost two weeks to make a MAJOR improvement and after that the Gastrocrom was added and it works like a charm. And about Elena I say YOU GO SETH!!! ~~Alena's Mom hydroxizine dosage Does anyone know how long it takes for hydroxizine to be in full effect? A week, month? Also does anyone know the dosage amounts? I ve been taking one pill. It whacks me out pretty bad. I was halucinating last night and i felt high the whole time. Not to mention the nausea. Someone please reply. -Seth~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you do wish to unsubscribe then you can click on the following link: <mailto:urticaria-unsubscribeegroups>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This list is in the service of those who suffer from Chronic Urticaria (hives).

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2001 Report Share Posted January 27, 2001 Hi Seth, you are taking the hydroxizine which is the generic of Vistaril, i am taking hydroxyzine which is the generic of Atarax, though i think (i could be wrong) are very simular. When i first began it, one 25mg pill knocked me on my butt!! And yes i felt VERY high on it, silly like. Now i am taking up to 75 mg a day and it doesn't cause near the "high" effect that it did in the beginning. Definately your body has to adjust to it and because we are all different for it to take its fully effect is anyone's guess. It began working for me within 2 days. What dosage does your doctor have you on? It could also be that the medication itself is just not setting well with you and that would be something you would know after a few days on it. I never got an upset stomach or halucinations, so i am not sure about that.....unless there is a difference between the "hydroxizine" and the "hydroxyzine" ?? Someone else on the list have any insight into the difference if any? I hope after all this, the medication does offer you relief from the hives....
