" I’ve been taking Atarax in combination with VitB12 injections and a multi vitamin for the last 2 months. It took a while – about 2 weeks – to have any effect. I get terrible side effects from almost all anti depressants but since Aterax is an antihistamine and operates quite differently I have had no problems. I haven’t had that horrible sinking feeling and accompanying stomach problems for about 6 weeks. I take 25mg at night. "
