One more question. I have been taking Valium for the past 5 days for panic attacks. I took one at 7pm last night. I do not want to get addicted to those. So now I have vistaril. Would it be ok to take the vistaril now since I took a Valium at 7pm. It has been 10 hours

Can you take vistaril with lexapro ? If not what about Zoloft? I’m looking for a antidepressant that you can take vistaril with when needed

Brief Answer:
You can't take

Detailed Answer:
You can't take Vistaril and Lexapro due to serious side effects like irregular heartbeat and potentially life-threatening.
Zoloft can be taken with Vistaril causing dizziness and drowsiness.

You can take Zoloft without the need of taking Vistaril.
