Management of emotional disturbances; use of hydroxyzine (atarax) in general practice.

Forty-one patients with anxiety and tension or various conditions associated with neuroses were treated with hydroxyzine hydrochloride tablets. Of the 41 patients, eight had an excellent response, 14 a good response, 16 were improved and three responded poorly. The only side reaction in this series was temporary drowsiness which, in the majority of patients, ceased after therapy was steadily continued on the same dosage level.
