A member asked:
What are the chances of developing tardive dyskenesia from taking vistaril (hydroxyzine)? for instance, using it only when suffering from sinus congestion.

Very very low: It would be highly unlikely if ever.

Shouldn't happen: Tardive dyskenesia happens in patients who regularly take psychotropics over a long period of time. Prn vistaril (hydroxyzine) may give a dystonic reaction when taken prn.
