In reply to Ed-UK: Atarax for Seroquel withdrawal, posted by Sonya on August 16, 2005, at 13:49:59
Hi Sonya,
>He didn't know much about how it might help but prescribed it anyway.
Well I'm not sure whether or not it will help but I certainly think it's worth a try.
I thought it might help for a few reasons.....
1. It has a mild anti-anxiety effect
2. It can treat nausea
3. Seroquel acts as an antihistamine - amongst other things. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine too.
4. Compared with the antipsychotics, hydroxyzine is relatively harmless>Do you have any suggestions?
Do you have the 25mg tablets? You could take it when required as you gradually taper off the Seroquel.
