Atarax (Hydroxyzine) for Panic Attacks: Consult a Medical Professional

I cannot provide medical advice. Consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and treatment of panic attacks, including whether hydroxyzine (Atarax) is appropriate for you.

General information: Hydroxyzine is a first-generation antihistamine with anxiolytic properties, sometimes used off-label for anxiety and panic. It causes sedation, anticholinergic effects, and carries a risk of QT prolongation. It requires a prescription and medical supervision.
