Hydroxyzine For Light Epilepsy And Feeling Of Fear

Hello. I use prazepam every evening 10mg since 16 years to treat my partial epilepsy (they found I had it at last when I was 30!!!) for 26 years now and to treat some feelings of fear built up during a hard life. It is a low dose. I do not like high doses and it works fine. Now I moved to a country where I want to avoid going to a doctor who prescribes this and charge a fortune for it plus all the explanations I need to give etc. So here so a pharmacist told me about hydroxyzine tablets with a little valium in it will do the same for me. All my life I do not drink nor smoke nor use anything "wrong." I live healthy and exercise a lot. Please advise me now as I am running out of prazepam, if this can be ok for me to try? Thanks so much.

Hello, Caro! How are you?

There is no Valium/Diazepam in Hydroxyzine, that is the only active ingredient. It is an antihistamine that is used to treat allergic reactions, for its sedative like effects and to treat insomnia.

It will not help prevent seizures. You need to see a doctor to be prescribed an appropriate medication.

The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects of Hydroxyzine as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and sedation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
