My doc gave me Vistaril to take "as needed". It works ok... does have a calming effect, but so does any sedating anti-histamine. I can't see how it would be very effective long-term for GAD. Works alright for sleep too, except that it seems to take a while for the full effects to kick in, 1 to 2 hours sometimes. Doesn't leave too much of a hangover... the first half-hour the next morning can be a bit heavy, but probably no more than that.
