Atarax (hydroxyzine) for anxiety attacks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can help: Atarax (hydroxyzine, also sold as vistiril) is a sedating antihistamine. In addition to relieving anxiety, it can also help allergic itching, nausea, & motion sickness. It is non-addictive but can cause drowsiness & other (mostly minor) side-effects. See: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmedhealth/pmh0000796/.

Can you take atarax (hydroxyzine) and ativan together? Ativan helps the dizziness a tiny bit but helps my anxiety tremendously. I've never tried atarax (hydroxyzine). Does that help with dizziness?
