A member asked:
Sudden increase in hair loss- started taking 20 mg atarax 2 months ago for sleep aid- direct relationship? if so, if medication stopped will hair loss stop immediately?

Not likely related: Loss of hair (alopecia) is not listed on the known rare side effects lists for hydroxyzine and a brief literature search doesn't indicate any case reports. However, idiosyncratic individual reactions to drugs are always possible. I would see a dermatologist for examination of your skin and hair and get advice there. If you stop, and it is related, I would expect gradual improvement, not rapid.
