A member asked:

Can hydroxyzine have any permanent side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. G. Wen answered

Safe: It is safe because the medication has been out in the market for a long while. I didn't see any reports for permanent adverse effects or such. Its side effects, such as drowsiness and dizziness, will mostly disappear after discontinuation.
