Actually, Vistaril (hydroxyzine pamoate) is the form of hydroxyzine that is effective for mild anxiety (Atarax is hydroxyzine hydrochloride). I've tried them both, and there definitely is a discernible difference-- the Atarax didn't even make me drowsy (but then, I tend to find Benadryl stimulating.....), but the Vistaril did what it was supposed to do. I'm sure it wouldn't have lasted long though... these days hydroxyzine is used much more as pre-operative anxiety medication for patients who can't receive benzos or barbs.
