pamoate VS. hydrochloride

How does hydroxyzine pamoate differ from hydroxyzine hydrochloride?


my experience with pamoate vs hcl



From what I can learn the HCL and pamoate are the versions of salt used to make the drug.

the HCL version is used in the form called Atarax. For me, this version increases anxiety.

I have also noticed that the pamoate versions themselves differ. my favorite is by EON labs but difficult to find near me.

the capsules which are pinkish and yellowish combination don't work well for me, they either give me some extra anxiety or they just don't tame my hypervigillence from the PTSD.

the capsules which are two shades of green work well for me.

they tone down my nightmares and tame my hypervigillence.

I take Hydroxyzine Pamoate 20mg at hour of sleep and it has been the only helpful drug for me with managing my ptsd.

hope my reply is helpful.

hydroxyzine pamoate vs. hydrochloride



I have tried both hydroxyzine hydrochloride and hydroxyzine pamoate. I'm not really sure what the difference is, but while the hydroxyzine hydrochloride did not work for me, the hydroxyzine pamoate works very well for me. The "Vistaril" or rather the hydroxyzine pamoate, was prescribed to help control my anxiety and also to help me sleep. My prescription allows me to take 1 capsule three times daily, but I usually take only two, one in the morning and one at bedtime. It does help with controling my anxiety and also helps me sleep. Again, I do not know what the difference is between the two, but they certainly had a different effect, at least on me.

HYDROXYZINE PAM VS. HYDROXYZINE HCL



I TOO HAVE TAKEN BOTH THE HYDROXYZINE PAM 25MG AND THE HYDROXYZINE HCL 25MG TABLETS I HAVE FOUND FOR ME THE HYDROXYZINE HCL 25MG TABLETS WORK SO MUCH BETTER FOR ME AS I HAVE READ SOEM OF THE CONTENT ABOUT THIS SUBJECT HERE. I DONT KNWO WHY THE OPPOSITE WORKS BETTER FOR ME THAN ALL THE PEOPLE THAT THE HYDROXYZINE PAM WORKS FOR THEM I AM CURIOUS WHY I SEEM TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHERS. BUT AM TOTALLY CURIOUS ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE IN THESE TWO MEDICATIONS.
