Question 1

does atarax (hydroxyzine) help to last longer in sex?

Accepted Answer

Not so much: If you're looking for a medication to slow your machinery down, don't self-medicate with something that can be a troublesome as "atarax" / hydroxyzine. Your physician might offer a very low dose of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Especially, work with your partner on "edging" and on the "squeeze technique" -- you'll reprogram yourself and bring each other to new heights. Best wishes.

Question 2

About a half day: By average, it will take at least a half day before all its effects wear off.

Question 3

i stopped taking hydroxyzine 25mg about 2 weeks ago for anxiety. i've noticed at night i itch really bad. how long will this last? is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: It is likely that your itching had been controlled with hydroxyzine and new unmasked without it. It is not normal. Check with your doctor about this but in the meanwhile, apply a moisturizer &lt;3 mins after bathing and hope this helps. Go back to hydroxyzine 25 mg at bedtime if necessary.

Question 4

atarax (hydroxyzine) how long do side effects normally last?

Accepted Answer

Depends...: On which side-effect, how much you took, & your personal susceptibility. If you took a standard dose for hives, say 10-25 mg, and had sleepiness as a side-effect, expect resolution in 8-24 hours. For more specific answers discuss your concern with your physician or other health care provider.

Question 6

Yes: Half-Life Of Robaxin (Methocarbamol)
The plasma elimination half-life of methocarbamol ranges between one and two hours before being excreted in the urine. Nearly all of methocarbamol's metabolites are excreted in the urine.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Hydroxyzine: It is an antihistamine which may cause sedation, drowsiness, changes in blood pressure, dryness, exacerbate narrow angle glaucoma or urinary retention, may interact with other medications but in general is safe.

Question 8

take 25mg of hydroxyzine for sleep most nights for last 3 months and noticed weight gain?  likely culprit? also was lexapro between 10 and 20 mg.

Accepted Answer

Hydroxyzine : Can increase your appetite/ makes you feel hungry more often, most antihistamines have this side effect in various degrees. Just be cautious using both hydroxyzine and lexapro together, stick to the lower doses and keep the follow-up with your doctor, wish you wellness

Question 9

is there any side effects when you take antihistamines like atarax (hydroxyzine) for a longer period?

Accepted Answer

No: Even though it is an effective sedative, hypnotic, analgesic, and tranquilizer, it shares almost none of the abuse, dependence, addiction, and toxicity potential of other drugs used for the same range of therapeutic reasons.

Question 10

hello
i took atarax (hydroxyzine) 12.5mg last night once for insomnia. today i feel extreme breath problem and rapid heart rate what should i do please? urgent!

Accepted Answer

Time: There has been recent warning on cardiovascular issue from atarax (hydroxyzine). I expect that the anticholinergic effect would subside in less than 24 hours. However if this problem is very bothersome, you will need to go to the emergency room if you can't get an appointment with your own doctor. 
In the meanwhile, avoid any stimulant such as caffeine.
