[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 678453, member: 1963"] Vistaril is an old fashioned antihistamine. Like all of that class of antihistamines (Benadryl is another), Vistaril can cause a paradoxical reaction in which anxiety and sometimes aggression occur. This reaction is more common in children and teens. I was prescribed Hydroxazine (Vistaril generic) for itching after an allergic reaction to an antibiotic. Though i was warned that the medication was very sedating, it instead made me very irritable and had me climbing the walls. I had to quit taking it and resort to hosing myself down with Caladryl lotion for the itch. I'd lose the Vistaril and consider going to a psychoactive medication of some sort for the raging. As for the phone and safety, ANY charged cellphone, even if not on any service, MUST, by LAW dial 911. I'd advise that if you get her a cellphone, you get her a Cricket or Kajeet phone which will allow you to specify which numbers she can call, have no internet access, and in general save you a lot of heartache (and money) [/QUOTE]
