what are common side effects for hydroxyzine? I am 54 yo female with many diagnosis of: mddr-s, gad, ptsd, panic attacks, insomnia, ppd, and recently bi-polar- induced mania from taking prestique. I am currently taking trazodon for sleep 200mg , prozac recentlly lowered to 10 mg, had been on 80 mg at one point, also taking i-bprophen 3 x s a day for pain in frozen shoulder - had pt for that 4 mths, at least 1 more month of pt was recommended but insurance wouldn t cover. Supposed to be doing pt 2 x s a day but haven t kept up last 2 wks due to recent inpatient psyche stay-first ever, have been in 1 form of therapy since birth of child 23 years. When mania presented 1 year ago started having panic attacks , hadn t had any since birth of only child. About 3 yrs ago dx with neuropathy in feet to point now I have to use a walker to run errands & can t drive. Itching just started about 3 mths ago with severe insomnia. psych stay was a joke. Left AMA feeling worse than when I went in after 3 days on unit with no good sleep. was taking klonipin 2 x s a day,my psychiatrist just changed my meds2-3 days ago for anxiety to hydroxyzine & itching is slowly getting better. Was taking alpha lipoic acid for close to a year 600 mg per day broken into 3 x s a day. Still having alot of anxiety, severe insomnia . Help!! What meds should I be on??? Got tardive dyskinisea so bad inpt stay from taking resperdal & seroquel for sleep --which staff pushed & pushed on me til i took it so they would go away. My speech was so bad i couldnt even talk & thought I was actuallly dying- staff did nothing. any ideas docs???? speech still effected at times 2 weeks later but much better- will my speech cont to improve??? whats causing the itching? I am trying to get in with old therapist but am on a wait list. Is this all psychological????
