Hydroxyzine 25mg

Hi I was wondering if I could take 2-25mg caps of hydroxyzine? I take 1 twice a day but I didn't know if I could take 2 to sleep. I have trouble falling asleep because I'm always having anxiety attacks at night. I'm wondering if this will help or should I just stick with the 1 capsule? ## Hello, Stephanie! How are you? You should not exceed your doctor's dosing instructions. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, and sedation. However, you could speak to your doctor about raising your dose, they may approve your doing so. Is there anything else I can help with?

What Colors do the 25mg.Pills come in? ## Hello, MeeMe! How are you? What are the markings on the tablet in question? That is what would enable me to identify it for you. This is a generic medication, so it is manufactured by quite a few different companies. Just using on pill identified, I have 6 pages of pills, so I cannot possibly list the colors and descriptions of all the 25mg one for you.

What otc can be used in substitution or at least close to for hydroxyzine hcl 25mg. It would be for nausea and other similar side effects of methadone detox. Thanks ## Hello, Brit! How are you?

My dosage on Tramadol is 50mg. Can I take Hydroxyzine 25mg safely with this other medication? ## You should not take them together, unless your doctor has told you to do so. Taking them both together could cause depression of the central nervous system, according to the FDA. It could depress it to the point of being fatal. Are these the only medications you take?

How long should you keep this drug and it be safe to take ## If you are asking if it gets dangerous to take, after a certain age, the answer is no. However, after the expiration date medications do start to lose their effectiveness and will not work as well. When it is past the expiration date, usually 1 year from the date it was filled, it should be disposed of. Do you have any other questions? ## I had a total hip replacement in 2007 and now I'm having hip and knee pain after all this time has passed. What do you think is wrong with my hip and knee.

I have had a total body itch for about 3 years. Hydroxyzine was prescribed but hasn't done much good. What can I take instead? ## Hello, Arvil! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem that you're having. You may be able to raise the dosage to see if it helps, if your doctor approves. This medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. But what type of doctor are you consulting? If you've not seen a dermatologist, that would be the best thing to do in order to get to the root of the problem. Are you on any other medications? Have you tried changing the soaps you use? There are many possible causes, so you need to look at everything to determine what might be causing the issue.

I'm already on 4mg of Xanax but it's not effecting me will 25mg of Hydroxyzine help me sleep? ## That sounds like a pretty bad idea. 4 mg Xanax by itself is a hefty dose ## @Johnny, Interestingly enough, The University of Maryland's drug interaction checker doesn't list any sort of interaction between Hydroxyzine and Xanax. You can take that information whichever way you want, however, this doesn't necessarily mean no interactions exist. Not to mention, since Hydroxyzine is a prescription medication, maybe it would be best to discuss this with your doctor before making any decisions...(You are prescribed it, right?) Never the less, it sounds to me like you're better off playing things safe until you can get a professional opinion from your prescriber. ## Yes, I...

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.

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.
