Hello, Fallon! How are you?

None of the medications you've mentioned are narcotics.

Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that's very commonly used for its sedative like properties, as well as to treat insomnia and allergic reactions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as including dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and sedation.

Xanax and Valium are benzodiazepines that are commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. The carry the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

Is there anything else I can help with?
