Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

I can understand your concern. Hydroxizine is an antihistamine drug and a good drug for anxiety and panic symptoms. If you have slight anxiety then tablet Hydroxizine can help and you can take it. The drug might cause slight sedation so please avoid driving for some time.

Thanks, Hope this helps you, if you have more doubts you can ask again
