User Reviews for hydroxyzine HCl oral

My grandmother is 88 years old and she is being treated for hives and she is not having any symptoms other than iching and panicing. when she was taking celebrex and cyphenhydramine hcl, she was having side effects that was very disturbing she was exibiting certain symptoms of dementia and paranoid behavior. This lasted for about a week or two. Then I had to say she drinks coffee and this causes dehydration that may add on to the Psychosis that she was exibiting. However, I don't believe that she has dementia. Every time she gets dehydrated, she seems like a dementive person but she is not like this all the time. She cooks cleans almost every morning and has a lot of spunk. How can I make sure that she does not get dehydrated and how can I make sure that she takes it twice a day? Read More Read Less

This drug is great to help with any itchy rashes. Within a day my rash has stopped itching. However, the drowsiness and dizziness has really made me feel naseous. I was not able to drive or work while on this medication.

while on this medication I became very depressed,tierd and confussed! The depression was really bad.

This drug has definately helped with my intense itching however, the side effects make it difficult to focus on anything else. It has left me feeling very light headed. DM

used for sleep disorder is this drug addictive ?

I have experienced extreme bouts of itching all over my body. I found that I had to cut my pill in half and take about 2x a week, otherwise I was extremely tired and groggy.

Got hives from exposure to imported cloth. Medication almost immediately reduced intense itching and stopped spread of hives; OTC antihistamines had not worked.

Definitely curbs my anxiety. Effects are light enough to use during the day and not feel tired.

At the onset of anxiety I take 10 mg or 2 of the 10mg and it relaxes me and it works to curtail the anxiety.......

I have trouble sleeping at night due to extreme itching of eczema and allergies. This medication really helped me!

I use this drug as an alternative to narcotics based anxiety medications for calming and sleep, post 911. I take one half of a tablet only as needed before bedtime. My change in hectic lifestyle and this drug have contributed to my well being.

This medication works so well for me. I have extremely bad anxiety, and cannot fall asleep at night, so I take it to ease myself into sleep. It has worked every time and has made a huge impact on my sleep.

This medication worked very well for me on itching from allergic reaction. Sometimes takes a while to work, but overall very satisfied with this drug.

This has helped so much with my panic attacks. I only use it if the attack is severe and it does not go away within 10 minutes or so, which is not often. The only downside is that it makes me very tired--but having a panic attack does that anyway. Dr. prescribed b/c I do not have attacks often and do not wish to take Xanax. I use this to supplement my dose of Paxil if I need to.

THIS MEDICATION IS VERY GOOD FOR ALLERGIC REACTIONS. IT STOPS THE ITCHING IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THIS DRUG ALS0 HELPS WITH SLEEPING...I RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO HAS FREQUENT REACTIONS WHICH RESULT IN HIVES OR DIFFICULTY BREATHING AND THE REACTIONS ARE UNKNOWN.....

It relived the itching I was experiencing and allowed me to sleep which was a problem for me.
