Hydroxyzine for anxiety?
Does anyone have experience with Hydroxyzine for short term anxiety? My doctor just prescribed it but I’m curious to see if others have tried it.

It's helped me with the physical symptoms of anxiety. For a couple days it made me kinda sleepy until I got used to taking it as needed. It's also an antihistamine which I didn't realize until I noticed I was sneezing and felt more congested during pollen season on the days I wasn't taking it.

I was prescribed this to help me sleep. I have a difficult time falling asleep due to my anxiety, and it’s helped. My doctor prescribed me Gabapentin as needed for anxiety symptoms and it’s really helped.

Medication
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.

New diagnosis
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
