Hydroxyzine Sleeping

hi, my doctor prescribed hydroxyzine 25 mg for sleeping. I stopped taking them for more than 4 months, now I have trouble sleeping and I was wondering if It would be dangerous to start takeing them again? ## Hi ducky, Sorry to hear about your troubles with sleep. In my honest opinion, it's probably not dangerous to start taking something that you were recently prescribed 4 months ago, if you're using it for the same indications as before. However, it would still be wise to discuss this with your doctor first if you have any concerns pertaining to the dosing, potential side effects, and other prescribing information. From what I could gather, Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine most commonly used to treat allergies, anxiety, and motion sickness. But it also has what appears to be an ...

My little brother was prescribed 25 mg Hydroxcine for his sleeping disorder and I am trying to find out if there is something better to give him since the doctor is using that pills side affect to help him sleep, he has a disorder that he can't ever fall asleep on his own, he needs something to help him. ## In reality, since it's an antihistamine that can cause drowsiness as a side effect, it is likely safer than many of the other choices. Most are in the sedative/hypnotic class and tend to be habit forming and addictive. Learn more Hydroxyzine details here. Is this medication working for him? Is he having problems with it?

I was diagnosed with bipolar, anxiety and depression. I am taking hydroxyzine pam 50 mg 3x daily, oxcarbazepine 300 mg 2x daily, lomotrigine 100 mg 2x daily, and trazonone 100 mg and temazepam 30 mg, each each bedtime. I feel tense and tired thoughout the day. I'm not sleeping soundly, I feel depressed and I'm easily aggitated. Isn't this what I'm being medicated for? I look like I've been up for days! What can I do? ## Hello, Draggin! How are you? Most psychologically active medications cause REM onset latency, which means it takes longer than normal to enter the REM stage of sleep and you spend a shorter amount of time in it. So, it is normal to feel tired and rundown for awhile, though it will usually improve, as your body adjusts to the medications. Additionally,...

I am currently taking 1-100mg of lamictal once a day, 1-25mg of celexa a day, and 1-.25mg of xanax 3-4 times a day. Is it safe to also take the 1-25mg of hydroxyz pam for sleeping at night? ## Have you consulted your doctor about this? The interaction that I'm finding listed is between the Xanax and the Hydroxyzine, since they both can cause depression of the central nervous system, combining them can increase the risk of that occurring. CNS depression could result in shallow breathing, lowered pulse rate, severe sedation and, in extreme cases, completely circulatory/respiratory shut down.

Hi everyone. My lawyer just called me and said I tested positive on my urine test. I take HYDROXYZINE PAM 50-100mg (for sleep), 15 MG 5 times a day of BUSPIRONE HCL, and CLONAZEPAM 1MG 3 times a day. I’ve never failed a drug test before. I have been taking zquil (alcohol free) for when I’m having a really hard time sleeping. This contains DIPHENHYDRAMINE HCI. I googled it and it said it may cause a false positive for methadone, opiates and PCP. I have never taken any of those ever in my life. Has anyone had this problem before? I’m f***ing pissed because this is supposed to be my last court date. ## I took an allergy medicine that contains diphenhydramine HCI 25mg and I tested positive for pcp. I’ve never done any hard drugs, so what do I do? ## I recently detoxe...
