A member asked:

Is taking hydroxyzine 10mg every day for anxiety bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually fine: Hydroxyzine can be used off label for anxiety. In low dose generally safe and non addicting.

I take a half of a 25mg hydroxyzine for anxiety every 6 hours. How soon after I take it can I take Dramamine? I want to take Dramamine for the stomach bug for the dizziness. Is waiting 6 hours after my hydroxyzine dose long enough? Thank you?

A member asked:

I've been perscribed 100mg of hydroxyzine pamoate to help me sleep and 5mg of escitalopram for anxiety (they started me low to make sure I had no reaction). I know that's already risky. Can I take ibuprofen for a headache, or is that a bad idea?
