Hello,

My son is autisic, and he can be very aggressive at times. My doctor put him on Atrax or Hydroxyzine for aniexty. My question for you is, have you ever heard of this being used for an autisic teenager?

Sincerely,
A Concerned Parent ?

My Son's doctor is also considering putting him on this med for aggression, property destruction and general out of control type behavior.  He is also a teenager with Autism.  My son had no aggression and little or no behavior problems prior to puberty.

Hi, I have a 12 year old daughter with autism. We have just started Atarax. I am very nervous. Her behavior has changed since puberty hit. Aggression, OCD and anxiety.
Did Atarax help at all? At what dosage? Thanks.
