How many Hydroxyzine 25 mg are equivalent to 2 mg Xanax? ## They are not in the same class of medications, so there is no way to convert one to the other. Xanax contains the active ingredient Alprazolam, which is a Benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. However, Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that's used to treat allergic reactions, insomnia, to prevent nausea and for its sedative like effects. So, they just aren't interchangeable and, for either one, you shouldn't take more than your doctor has prescribed, because doing so may be dangerous.

I was prescribed hydroxyzine for itching with a bad case of poison ivy. I found that helped with my mild anxiety. Is there anything similar over the counter that I can purchase for the anxiety? Thanks! ## Hello, Hearher! How are you? Unfortunately no, there is nothing as potent available over the counter. Have you tried anything else to treat the anxiety?

The FDA classifies it as an SSRI antidepressant and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight loss. ## Hi. Have you tried essential oils for anxiety? I had it really bad but now I am in control with DoTERRA.

What can happen if you're taking 50 mg of Hydroxyzine for itching? ## Hello, Seleah! How are you? The FDA classifies Hydroxyzine as an antihistamine that is also used for its sedative like effects, so a higher dose may exacerbate those effects and someone taking 50mgs may experience side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, strong sedation and somnolence. They should also only take that dosage, if that's the amount their doctor has prescribed. Are there any other questions or concerns?

My pa prescribed me the 6 day methylprednislone PAC 4 mg I've only took two of the first days dose. He prescribed it for a bad reaction to bactrim l.

I have a small round pill with the letter m on it that's purported to be Hydroxipam. Has anyone been able to find information on this drug? ## From what I could gather, Hydroxipam is simply a trade name for Hydroxyzine Pamoate; which according to MedlinePlus is in a class of medications called antihistamines, and is used to relieve itching caused by allergic skin reactions, as well as anxiety and tension.

Seeing as to how this is not in the same class of prescription drug as Xanax but both are used to treat anxiety, is this just a more mild form of Xanax when talking about the effectiveness in treating anxiety?? ## Forgot to mention the pill I'm asking about is 25mg hydroxyzine ## Hello, Joe!
