Hydroxyzine And Alcohol

What over the counter med can I take in place of Hydroxyzine hcl 25mg? ## Hydroxyzine is used to relieve the itching caused by allergies and to control the nausea and vomiting caused by various conditions, including motion sickness. It is also used for anxiety and to treat the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. I'm not sure if it has any other uses outside of those mentioned above, but if you're looking for a replacement medication, I think it'll largely depend on what reasons you're taking it for? ## Need hydroxyzine for allergies, nausea and anxiety as I'm trying to wean off of lithium and lamotrigine. This is my second week. So far so good. I am so sick of prescription meds. ## I got prescribed Hydroxyzine hcl 25mg for treating itchiness, but I ran out and need somet...

Hello, I have taken Hydroxyzine for about a year now. I have found that it works better if I take it at night before bed. I take it for anxiety. I take it at night because it helps me feel more even through out the day. At first I took it only during flare-ups but it was like a roller coaster. Now, occasionally, about one time every 6 weeks, I get an anxiety Flare-up where I have to take an additional dose in the mid morning to settle it down. Is this normal ? What does this mean ? I am 46. Healthy, and some depression kicks in once in a while, I sleep very well and have no other issues. Definitely feel like a mid life crisis. I had to cut out caffeine and alcohol consumption completely and exercise helps. Will I have anxiety forever ? Is Hydroxyzine damaging to my body ? Thank You ## H...

is it safe to take both at the same time? ## Hi Sunshine, Unfortunately, my findings state that there are potentially unsafe interactions between these two drugs. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of: "Using (suboxone) buprenorphine together with (atarax) hydroxyzine may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating.

small white pill with Ah on one side and 71 on the other ## What is this pill and what are its uses? What are its effects when mixed with alcohol? ## The tablet with the AN 71 marking contains 25mgs of Hydroxyzine, which is an antihistamine that's used to treat allergic reactions, nausea and for its sedative like effects. And mixing it with alcohol may heighten the side effects, especially the sedation, so you may experience more dizziness and drowsiness than usual. Learn more Hydroxyzine details here.

Hi everyone. My lawyer just called me and said I tested positive on my urine test. I take HYDROXYZINE PAM 50-100mg (for sleep), 15 MG 5 times a day of BUSPIRONE HCL, and CLONAZEPAM 1MG 3 times a day. I’ve never failed a drug test before. I have been taking zquil (alcohol free) for when I’m having a really hard time sleeping. This contains DIPHENHYDRAMINE HCI. I googled it and it said it may cause a false positive for methadone, opiates and PCP. I have never taken any of those ever in my life. Has anyone had this problem before? I’m f***ing pissed because this is supposed to be my last court date. ## I took an allergy medicine that contains diphenhydramine HCI 25mg and I tested positive for pcp. I’ve never done any hard drugs, so what do I do? ## I recently detoxe...
