I've been on hydroxizine before. It made me sleepy if I took two, and one wasn't quite enough. It was originally an anti-histamine, related to benadryl, that is why it makes you drowsy. It was also found to have anti-anxiety properties, that is why it is prescribed for anxiety.

Buspar also caused me to react badly. Drugs I've taken to address both depression and anxiety like paxil made me extremely aggressive and feel violent. I don't know how many anti-depressants you've tried, some have worked very well for me, others didn't work, and some (like paxil) made me feel violent. I would try out some more if you haven't already tried them all. And I would definitely do it with a psychiatrist instead of a general practitioner, since they will diagnose you like a medical doctor, but they are trained in neurology and psychology.

For anxiety, I still haven't found a good pharmaceutical. I have used edible cannabis (legally in Colorado of course), and I have had the best success with that. I use a 1 to 1 ratio of THC and CBD. The CBD is calming, and the THC is a mood elevator. I can take them, drive, go to work, and be normal. If I am using the right ones (some have made me high), I don't feel high or stoned, I feel positive and calm, like I had an amazing night's sleep.

Hope any of this helps.

Thanks

I'm in Texas where CBD and marijuana are both illegal. Buspar isn't a problem for me. I only take the hydro at night. Then again, I can take Benadryl in the morning with no tiredness.
This is a copy and paste from a reply elsewhere on DS: Actually the dispensary I use has 3 kinds of oil you can buy its around $75.00 for 30ML. They have 1:1 Cannabis oil this has around half THC levels and half CBD levels. THC makes you a little less functioning. It gives you the "high" feeling. Then they have straight THC oil which will knock you down it makes you really low functioning. (good for sleep or just a relaxing night). Then there's CBD oil which makes you high functioning but relaxes you so you aren't as prone to anxiety attacks at all.
Hugs to all.

I have cbd oil but dont use it a lot cuz it makes me feel funny. I would be interested in the one with thc but it is not legal in my state

L-Theatine 200 mg twice a day will help. Get good quality at a health food store or vitamin shop (not GMC). You want non GMO and as natural as possible.
The effects only last about 8 hours and that is why it's recommended twice a day.
It shouldn't make you drowsy....but every one is different.

There is also a spray made of flowers by Bach called "Rescue Rededy Spray".
There is one for sleep and another "Stress Relief". You give two spritz on the tongue and it is fast acting. I used the sleep one once and it took about 20 minutes, but my panic attack was pretty intense.
It taste a bit earthy, but not bad.

Their products are non habit forming and you don't need a script.

Thank you. =)

Sorry for the mis spelling of the spray. It's called "RESCUE REMEDY SPRAY" BY BACH.
