My new doctor (I moved) is taking me off hydroxyzine pam 50 . She said it is not good for people over 65, I am 67. I itch and that was why my doctor where I lived put me on it 3 years ago. I need this medication or the itching come right back. The root of the itching is hep C and diabetis. Is there an equivalent that will work as well? ## Hi, Jan! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having.

Learn more Hydroxyzine details here. You've been on it for awhile, so any side effects wouldn't be new, but I can't control what your doctor does. However, I'd suggest discussing it with her and...

My doctor has prescribed the above pills for severe inching taking one at bedtime. The recommended from the drugstore is 4 a day. As the inching has continued to be a problem. is it harmful to take more than one at night to see if it would help. ## Since Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that has strong sedative like properties, that means it can cause depression of the central nervous system, which could result in severely lowered blood pressure, heart rate, shallow breathing and etc. Thus, it wouldn't be advisable to up the dosage, without the approval of your doctor. Learn more Hydroxyzine details here. At this point, it would probably be best if you could determine what's causing the itching to eliminate the problem. Do you have any allergies that you're aware of?
