A member asked:
Help docs, is hydroxyzine a good sleep aid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can help: Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine, and is often prescribed as a sleep aid. It is a bit like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and makes people drowsy, and often a bit groggy in the morning. It seems to make people less anxious as well.
