Review
Summary |
Persons who are habitually or chronically ill often become depressed and anxious. A condition that doesn’t have a clear point of origin, or that manifests with unusual symptoms can be worrisome. The longer one remains sick, bedridden, estranged from friends, work and the daily interactions that are so vital to our mental well being, the greater a chance for a decline in health, both mental and physical. Western medicine now accepts and is beginning to research the mind-body connection. Fear of sickness and debilitation can have a severe and negative impact on the chances of overcoming affliction.
Scientists and physicians continue to develop new remedies and discover uses for therapies already patented and on the market. Consumers should be wary, but not necessarily concerned, and should always have prepared follow-up questions and resources of information.
We have recently read that Hydroxyzine, known primarily as an antihistimine is being marketed for persons who present with symptoms of anxiety.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
|
Hydroxyzine is typically applied for itching and nausea. It is now being discussed for its anxiolytic properties; this could have major ramifications for consumers who are diagnosed with mild to moderate anxiety. It is also sometimes used as a medication for patients just out of surgery.
|
| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Antihistamines work by decreasing the effects of histamine, a chemical the body releases that narrows air passages in the lungs and contributes to inflammation. Consumers will be familiar with some over the counter Antihistamines and know that they reduce itching and swelling and dry up secretions from the nose, eyes, and throat.
This drug is being experimented with and studied for what is still considered “off label” applications for anxiety and affective disorders.
|
| Diet Lifestyle |
|
Histamine is released by the body during allergic reactions and some viral infections, such as the common cold.
Dizziness, confusion, blurry vision, vomiting, dry mouth, headache, and reddening of skin are the most common adverse effects reported. They should not be considered innocuous, and should always be immediately reported to a doctor.

| Final Thoughts |
|
Hydroxyzine may be an option for some persons who are diagnosed with mild to moderate anxiety disorders. Consumers should be cautioned that this is a potent drug and can be taken to the point of overdose. Some of the symptoms that one must viglantly monitor are unsteadiness, tremor, convulsions, low blood pressure, hallucinations and disorientation.
Many consumers are finding that natural supplements may be effective in providing support for mood and anxiety. In our online research we have discovered many positive customer testimonials for the mineral form of lithium. It is being said that Lithium Orotate can penetrate the blood-brain barrier which allows it to work quickly; persons have reported that it relieves the symptoms of anxiety, such as headache, sleeplessness and irritability gently and without adverse effects. It is being researched for its application for other disorders, including Bipolar, Attention Deficit, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Lithium Orotate is often available as a free trial sample.
