I just lost 123lbs what can i do to prevent hydroxyzine from causing me to gain weight back? how much does a person gain on hydroxyzine?

Congrats: On this achievement, loosing that much weight, hydroxyzine, like any other antihistaminic, is an appetite stimulant, other antihistamines differ in their appetite stimulation capacity, especially the newer ones, please revise your treatment options with your physician, look for alternatives if possible, good luck
