I've been considering medication lately to try and address my problems.

My question is, since hydroxyzine is an antihistamine used for sleep, does it just "treat" anxiety by simply making you too sleepy to be anxious? I think I've read comments from people who say this IIRC. Or, does it help with other aspects of the anxiety?

Anyone have experiences where it didn't just make them sleepy, but seemed to specifically help with social anxiety symptoms?

Regardless I intend to try it out for my insomnia.
