Overdosing on Atarax

I panicked and took 1 and a half pills of atarax 25mg. So far it had no negative side-effects, should i be concerned?
Btw, it was not to kill myself or anything, just to clarify.

I have taken dramamine in the past which is also from this particular brand of drug so i have a little bit of an experience with this.

No need to worry. It is fairly harmless. What were you using it for? To make yourself drowsy so you could sleep?

@quitwhendone Yes. They gave it to me so i could sleep. I have been up for 3 days with no sleep at all so i am desperate.
They told me to take 3 halves during the course of the day... so.. this is still within the daily limit, but i was not supposed to take it at once.

@Oleander It doesn't work very well for anxiety and sleep but you should give it a try. Paretin is your best bet along with strenuous exercise daily.

@quitwhendone It does work, to be honest. When i went to the doctor i was shaking, barely able to speak.
I became rather social an hour after taking it. It helped quite a bit with the anxiety. No longer shaking and stuff.
Still.. the goal is sleep. I thought since it worked so well for my mood that it would also just let me sleep whenever i want to.
Didn't quite work out like that so i panicked.

@Oleander Try doing 30 minutes of cardio exercise every day. I am telling you it works.
