Can I die from a hydroxyzine HCl overdose? I took 5 pills of hydroxyzine HCl (10mg each) for anxiety. Will I get side effects or an overdose?
Hydroxyzine doesn’t have a reputation for a high risk profile. The likely side-effects from taking 5 tablets will be sleepiness and a dry mouth. It comes in 10, 25 and 50 mg tablets. It is sometimes prescribed at a frequency of three times a day. The dose you took is sometimes prescribed for insomnia. My experience with medications like hydroxyzine is that sensitivity to side-effects varies with body weight and gender. For some reason women seem more susceptible, although it’s possible that lower average body weight of women is confounding my experience on that point.Hydroxyzine is chemically related to anti-histamines and is sometimes prescribed for allergic symptoms of runny nose. In medical jargon it has a “anticholinergic side-effect profile”; some of which these effects are intended … others are not desired effects depending on the patient’s complaint. I suppose you could think of having trouble staying awake as a mild “over dose”, since it would be a higher than recommended dose, but it’s not likely that you would be unarousable, i.e. “passed out cold”. At higher doses, say 30 tablets all at once or over a day, there would be the potential for serious issues: excitation, hallucinations, seizures, cardiac rhythm disturbances (Hydroxyzine overdose: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia)
250mg Hydroxyzine? kill yourself?
>what should i expect to happen? Nothing. I've taken way more than that, not in a suicide attempt just in an attempt at "whatever", and yeah nothing happens. You might get sleepy, you might have some minor hallucinations, but when it's all said and done, you won't be dead. Way to waste your Atarax. Also you need professional help. Cheers, my friend of misery.

What will happen if I take 300mg of hydroxyzine at once?
Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine, similar effects like benadryl. Its commonly used to treat symptoms of itching due to allergies, nausea or vomitting, and sometimes used short term to treat anxiety or to help you feel relaxed or sleepy. Its used to help with withdrawal symptoms (anxiety and agitation) in alcoholics. But large doses like 300mg at once can cause drowsiness, respiratory depression, involuntary tremors or convulsions, hallucinations. The maximun dose is 100mg for pre-operative sedation. You should have someone drive you to the emergency room. My main concern is respiratory depression… you might get super sleepy and stop breathing.
