How does Hydroxyzine compare to Alprazolam for controlling anxiety? I want to switch to something safer and less addictive, but I need something to control my panic attacks. They’re talking about prescribing me 25mg of Hydroxyzine. Does anyone know if this will be effective enough? Or if I’ll need a larger dose? I’m told it’s just an antihistamine with mild sedative effects. Anything helps, thanks in advance
