I was prescribed hydroxyzine for sleep but noticed that it killed my arthritis pain. Why does an antihistamine kill my pain? ## Hello, Rachel! How are you? It could be due to its sedative like effects, since a lot of pain is caused by an excitation of the nerves. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. If it works for your pain, that's awesome!!! Is there anything else I can help with?

I take gabapentin (Gralise) max dose daily for nerve pain. I get breakthrough pain at night. I have taken A muscle relaxer and hydroxyzine and seems to help some with the nerve pain. Any clues about why as well as if hydroxyzine would work alone for the nerve pain? ## It has some sedative like effects, which is why it is often used for anxiety, so it can cause some relaxation/sedation.

I also take Gabapentin for Nerve pain and I take Hydroxyzine HCL 25mg at bedtime for sleep issues and anxiety. I take the Gabapentin at 8pm and the Hydroxyzine at 11pm.

I have a bottle of HYDGROXYZ PAM 25MG and the pharmacist has written Take 1 capsule every 6 hours as needed for pain. I got this from a PA a week after having surgery on my shoulder. So, I'm confused as why it says on here not for pain. ## Hello, Colleen! How are you? No, this medication is an antihistamine that is most commonly used to treat allergic reactions and for its sedative like effects that can help with anxiety. I've never heard of it being prescribed for pain. Even when used for anesthesia, sometimes, it is combined with other medications, not used alone. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness, and dry mouth. I wonder if there was some mix up and they meant to prescribe Hydrocodone, which is a narcotic analgesic? Have you ca...

I am expercing left arm tingling and left leg pain, I am taking Hydroxyzine Pamoate 50 Mg, Bupropion Sr 150 Mg, Buspirone 15 Mg, Risperidone 1 Mg. Could these cause the Symptons I am Having? ## Hi Nikki, According to nih.gov (MedlinePlus), Bupropion Sr and Risperidone are both known to cause muscle or joint pain as a potentially serious side effect. Judging from your description, it sounds like your best bet would be to talk with your doctor about this concern to see if there are any other alternative options that can effectively replace either of those medications. Serious side effects can also be reported to the FDA's MedWatch program at: fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/default.htm You can learn more about each drug on the page for Bupropion Details and Risperidone Details I hope this inf...

I Have several itching to most all pain killers and lots of other meds like middle relaxers and some over the counter meds. The itches is so severe that almost rather hurt than to itch. I have severe back and neck drama so I can't get out of bed if I don't take at least one pain pill a day. To do this I have to take 4 hydroxyzine Pamela to take one hydro 10. When it wears off I can not take another pain pill for 24hours if I don't want to claw my skin off. Is 4 hydroxyzine 50mg going to hurt me in the long run? ## Hello, Tag! How are you? The maximum daily dose of Hydroxyzine is 100mgs, so you are exceeding that and may be risking overdose due to its sedating effects. Overdose symptoms may include severe dizziness, severe drowsiness, slow heart rate, low blood pressure and s...

How long should you keep this drug and it be safe to take ## If you are asking if it gets dangerous to take, after a certain age, the answer is no. However, after the expiration date medications do start to lose their effectiveness and will not work as well. When it is past the expiration date, usually 1 year from the date it was filled, it should be disposed of. Do you have any other questions? ## I had a total hip replacement in 2007 and now I'm having hip and knee pain after all this time has passed. What do you think is wrong with my hip and knee. I walk on my treadmill weekly.

I FOUND SEVERAL PILLS THAT HAVE IMPRINT G307. I ASKED AROUND AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A NORCO 10 PAIN RELIEVER. CAN U PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THIS IS? TY ## You found or you bought a bunch of pills? Oh well anyways its hydroxyzine 10mg a antihistamine. Looks like you got ripped off. ## @original poster, You didn't mention what shape or color your pill was either? For the record, Hydroxyzine hydrochloride 10 mg tablets are listed as having a marking of 307 PA, (NOT G307); and they're manufactured by Pliva. So post #1 is wrong about its identification, unless you can prove otherwise? Depending on where or how you came about these pills, my guess is that they're probably not too common since I'm not seeing any specific details online. However, ill look forward to any updates you mig...

okay honestly ifound these pills in a veterinary bottle and i just need to know what it will do to me if i take it and im not prescribed to it and im totally fine ## I am not sure which medication this is from just this description. What does the K look like? Does it have an arrow on the upper arm, or is it just a regular K? The K10 with the arrow is 500mgs of Acetaminophen, which is also used for dogs and is just a generic for Tylenol that's used to treat pain and fever. However, a K10 with a regular K contains 10mgs of Hydroxyzine, which is an antihistamine that's used to treat allergies. It is used for dogs as well and is only available by prescription.
