Is vista often prescribed to pregnant women to relax them or make them sleep? Does this drug affect the fetus? ## My daughter was prescribed visteral for her morning sickness and then saw that it said not to take if pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant. I also saw an article that said it would harm an unborn fetus. but her doctor says it is alright. this is very confusing and we are afraid it may hurt her unborn baby?? ## Precautionary guidelines for Vistaril (hydroxyzine) note the following: tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking hydroxyzine, call your doctor. Another reputable source indicates that the use of hydroxyzine does not appear to be associated with increased teratogenic risk (embryo abnor...

I take vistaril as needed between my imatrex for chronic migraines. I have now broken my wrist and have to wait to see a ortho surg. To get it set and have been given Norco for the pain. The pain and lack of sleep is triggering my migraines. Can I take imatRex and/or vistaril with the norco? ## Hello, Crissy! How are you? The main concern here is the Norco with the Vistaril, since they can both increase sedation and, if you aren't used to it, it could be too much for you. Thus, you shouldn't mix those, unless your doctor approves. However, I did not find any problems taking the Imitrex with the Norco, so that should be fine, as long as your doctor approves. The FDA classifies Norco as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, s...

My girlfriend just got prescribed these 2 meds together for bipolar disorder. Is this safe? The vistaril is 50mg twice a day. The lamotrigine is 200mg nightly. ## Hello, Dietrich! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between these two medications, but you should always double check this information to be sure. She may experience some normal side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, mood changes and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I know this was a while ago and do not expect to get a response. -- I had an awful experience on lamictal and visceral. -- I was wondering if any side effects occurred.

I was just curious if this drug is considered in the Buprenorphine or in that category? ## No! Vistaril contains the active ingredient Hydroxyzine. It is an antihistamine, used to treat various conditions such as allergic reactions, nervous disorders and insomnia. ## I have several bottles of vistaril. I only take them occasionally for itching and when my migraine medicine alone is not effective. They were originally prescribed to take “the edge off” and I will occasionally take one for this purpose. I do take Cymbalt 90 mg daily. Should I take vistaril daily also. I drive all day with my occupation. Are they effective for insomnia

I use vistaral for severe itching due to my hepatitis c, sometimes it helps but more than often it does not help. Any suggestions to what else I can take to relieve the itching all over my body, there is no rash. I have been to an allergist.

I take methadone vistiral antabuse busporine Prozac are they any I shouldn't take together ## I'm just curious if it's safe to take these era together ## Busiprone is listed as a severe interaction. Talk with your provider. ## Hello Curious 37, There are actually quite a few interactions between these medications that I found.

My Dr. had me on lexapro and trazodone for my mood disorder and anxiety/ panic attacks. They didn't help with my panic attacks at all. So the next time I saw him he prescribed me vistaril and buspar. I was having severe panic attacks at least 3 times a day...Anytime I have to go into public my symptoms start. I haven't seen a big difference yet, even though I take the vistaril 3 times a day and the buspar twice a day and once a day for the lexapro and trazodone...does anyone have experience with all 4 of these meds? If so how long before I start experiencing some noticed improvement with my panic attacks? ## I would not recommend taking Trazodone (or Nefazodone, it's cousin) if you have panic or anxiety. I've take both in the past and experience intermittent worsening of...

My mental health nurse practitioner prescribed me 30mg twice a day of buspars,vistaril 25mg 3 times a day and I go to a suboxone clinic 2 strips a day I need to know if it's deadly or not the nurse knows I take the suboxone I'm just worried ?!?!? ## Hello, Kyman! How are you? The only possible interaction that I've found is due to the fact that both the Vistaril and the Suboxone can increase sedation, so you do need to be aware of that and keep an eye out for any danger signs, such as extreme sedation, severe dizziness and shallow breathing. Suboxone is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi im trying to quit ...

I take 1 and a half 2mg Lorazepam 3 times a day. What would be close to that? Vistaril 50 mg? ## Hello, Ellen! How are you? Vistaril is not a benzodiazepine, so it doesn't work the same, though it does have sedative like effects, so it can be used to treat anxiety, panic disorders and insomnia. On that note, it will likely make you more tired than the Lorazepam did, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience dizziness and dry mouth. What has your doctor recommended?

This is similar to benadryl or vistaril. It's an older drug and been around a long time like benadryl. It will make u sleepy. It won't cure scabies but it'll help u not to scratch the bumps. Scabies are micro bugs that are kinda like mini ticks that burrow under the skin a suck blood. Be sure u treat all your clothes, furniture, car seats, and bedding. If u don't they'll just infest your home and u. The med will help with the itch only! Good luck getting rid of your little blood suckers......

Is there a over the counter medicine for vistaril ## Hello, BJ! How are you? No, the closest you could get would most likely be Benadryl, which contains the active ingredient Diphenhydramine. It's an excellent antihistamine and usually the first choice used in most ERs to treat allergic reactions, but it doesn't have the same potent sedating effects that Vistaril does. If you need to switch, please check the safety of doing so with your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am allergic to diphenhydromene. would this be suffice?
