Otc Alternative To Hydroxyzine For Mild Anxiety (Top voted first)

Updated

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? There are quite a few non-habit forming options that your doctor can prescribe, such as Prozac.

The FDA classifies it as an SSRI antidepressant and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight loss.
