Over doses are never: Good. Antihistamine over doses are rarely lethal. Am concerned by the manner that you asked this question. If you are considering an overdose to kill or harm yourself - please seek help at your nearest emergency room or call the national suicide hotlines 24/7 at 1-800-suicide (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273 – talk (1-800-273-8255).

Yes, of course: You can overdose on anything. The big question is 'what will happen?' Atarax (hydroxyzine) overdose will cause severe drowsiness.
