A member asked:

If i had one drink 8 hours ago is it safe to take 50mg of my prescribed hydroxyzine for the sedative effect? i do not plan on leaving the house today and just want to get some sleep ?

Yes. By that time the alcohol is out of your system.

You should not mix alcohol with hydroxyzine. Both can cause sedation and decrease your breathing as you sleep. You probably ought to skip your hydroxyzine today to be safe. If you do not drink any more alcohol, you can resume your hydroxyzine dose tomorrow. Best of luck to you!
