Has Anyone Tried Vistaril For Anxiety?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My 7 year old son with high functioning Autism is having a lot of anxiety. He is also having difficulty stay in asleep and having night terrors. His Doctor wants to prescribe Vistaril before bed to help him sleep and help with anxiety. Wondering if anyone has had success with this medicine.

Am interested on the feedback for this question.....my son tells me he doesn't want to sleep because he has such terrible dreams. Very vivid. He screams out. If you don't know he does it, it will scare you to death. I feel bad for him. It's like even asleep, his mind won't stop.

My son also is resisting sleep as he's "afraid to dream", it's a terrible cycle as the more tired he is the more pronounced his anxiety, but I don't know how to help him. How are you faring?

Try Homeopathy, try natural medicine. I avoided Risperdil for hiperactivity. I'm trying Ariel with homepathy with excellent results.
