Hi. Can someone tell me if there are any possible side effects from taking these two medications together? ## Hello, Nefer! I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications. However, according to the MayoClinic, Hydroxyzine is on the list of medications that is usually not recommended for use alongside Bupropion, even though it may be required in some cases. They go on to note that if both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines. Ref: MayoClinic Hydroxyzine is classified by the FDA as an antihistamine that is also used for its sedating properties. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and drowsiness. Ref: MedlinePlus (Hydroxyzine) Bupropion...

I want to know if my pharmacist gave me the right pill. They are for my itching and they don't seem to be working. ## Hello, Sonya! What do they look like and what are the markings on them? This is the information needed in order for the medication to be identified. Can you please post back and clarify? And being that this medication is an antihistamine, it will only help with itching that is due to some type of allergic reaction, according to the NIH. Do you have any idea why you are itching? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including drowsiness, dizziness, and sedation. ## It is Hydroxyzine. Hal. 25. MG tab. Dark green. With logo. ( 160. Round

Will taking hydroxyzine hcl 25 cause me to test positive for SUBOXONE on my drug screen for probation? ## Could I test positive for a UA after taking vistaril ## The FDA doesn't list this as being a common occurrence, but there is really no way to be sure how any given medication might affect anyone that takes it, since we are all different. Has this happened to either one of you? Do either of you take any other medications?

My Rx hydroxyzine pamoate says to take one capsule three times a day as needed. It's 50mg, does that mean I don't have to take it at a scheduled time? Please clear this up for me. Thank you. ## That is correct, that means that while the dosing should be at least 8 hours apart, if you don't need one at the next schedule dosing time, you do not have to take one. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. 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.

My boyfriend was prescribed to take (2) 25 mg tabs of hydroxyzine at night but it doesn't work that well and when he takes (1) of my 50 mg tabs it's more effective and works better. Does the higher dosage of the same medication absorb differently or quicker than the lower dosage? ## No, there should not be any significant difference. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, hypotension, and dehydration. What issues is he experiencing that makes him feel that taking 2 of the 25mg tablets isn't working as well? Has he consulted his doctor about prescribing the 50mg dose? ## He was originally prescribed it when he had hives last year and i think he started taking 2 because 1 tab wasnt really working for the i...

Hi. My husband has a toothache. Can hydroxyzine 10mg syrup stop the pain from the toothache he has? Please let me know. It's bad. ## No, this medication is an antihistamine that is also used as to treat anxiety, and insomnia, but it will not do anything to alleviate pain.

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...

Has anyone else had a hard time lately getting this medication from their pharmacy? The last couple/few times i've needed it, i've had to call around to different CVS's. My regular CVS hasn't had it for at least the past couple of months. Last month, i got it filled at another CVS downtown, but this month they only have 3 in stock, so i called yet another CVS and luckily they had them in stock. What a hassle to get my medication. I live in Lowell, MA. Thank you. ## I'm not finding any shortages listed for this medication. Have you considered trying a pharmacy other than CVS? It seems unusual to me that they wouldn't have it in stock, or get it in stock, if they know they have a regular customer that needs it. I know several pharmacy chains here in Washington that...

This Capsule is half light green with 25 mg on it and half dark green with Watson on it and another marking under Watson that I can't read. ## Yeah, some of them are very hard to make out, since the print is so tiny.

My wife took 10 tablets of 25mg hydroxyzine. Is that ok? She is suffering from anxiety and she said this helps her to go to sleep. ## No, that is a dangerous amount to take and she should seek medical attention. It is never safe to take more of a medication than one's doctor has prescribed. Did she experience any adverse effects? The FDA warns that taking this amount could be fatal, due to it's sedative like effects, which can cause issues breathing, as well as lowered heart rate and lowered blood pressure. How much has her doctor told her to take?

I have a prickly, burning, deep itching on my upper arms that started about 1 month after a deep sunburn. If I touch it, the itching becomes relentless and VERY uncomfortable. I have used cortizone cream, fungal cream, Vicks (as per suggestion on Internet), aloe; but the itching continues. There are also skin-colored bumps that have appeared. A pharmacist mentioned it could be a yeast infection. I have a prescription from 10/12 for hydroxyzine when I had shingles. Could I use it for this? ## Hi, Nanner! Sorry about the problem that you're having. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that is also used for its sedative like effects. Learn more Hydroxyzine details here.
