Hi all,

I am 36, male, and have an anxiety/depression condition. I currently take Effexor 150mg daily, and Valium 5mg as needed, though my doctior has told me this is to be used sparingly.

I have anxiety most days, and wondered if anyone had anything to say about sedating antihistamines (diphenhydramine, doxylamine, promethazine) as mild antianxiety agents.

I have read an article from 1958 that stated phenyltoloxamine was an useful tranquilizer, but cant fine much else.

Atarax has gone off of the market here, so isnt an option
