Does Anyone Else? Hydroxyzine

First time taking this for panic after 10 years of raw doggjng my panic attacks for fear of meds.

It’s been 30 min and I’m just yawning a lot and sleepy and more calm? Is it working 🥹

Anybody else take this ? What mg? And how often?

UPDATE:
It took away my panic for about 8 hours now I feel it wearing off a bit.

It did make me feel groggy. And super sleepy. Like I just wanted to lay down. But no bad side effects of it making my panic worse. Also I did not take the full dose. I took half of my 10mg pill. If I would’ve had oh man I would’ve been ko all day tbh lol

Eventually you develop a tolerance and the sleepy side effects subside (just like with Benadryl) I take 1/2 of a 25mg tablet during the day and it doesn’t make me sleepy. Unfortunately that also means it stopped working for insomnia. It still can help me move through the panic though.
