So far the hydroxyzine has been helping me to stay asleep. It's also helping on cutting down on the obssesive thinking which was causing the wakefulness. The only thing bad is it is harder to wake up when I actually need to wake up and I feel more sleepy during the day which is the reason I quit taking it in the first place.

I think once my overall enviroment quits being so stressful, assuming that does eventually happen of course, I hope I can go back to not needing it again.
