Hi Phillipa,
Vistaril/Atarax are very different to Benadryl, both are antihistamines, but Vistaril also has a specific anxiety releiving action based on blocking the 5HT2A receptor, where as Benadryl just makes you drowsy.
In a recent controlled trial in Europe, Vistaril was found to be as effective as bromazepam in GAD
