Can I Smoke Marijuana While On Hydroxyzine?

Hello there I just today started to take hydroxyzine I just took my first tablet about an hour ago, I got on it because I have bad anxiety/panic attacks and I am a regular pot smoker, can I still smoke while taking this medicine or will it have a bad effect?

Hi,

Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine type of medication. It reduces activity in the central nervous system. It also acts as an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. It is used in the treatment of itchiness, anxiety, and nausea, including that due to motion sickness.

It is not advisable to smoke marijuana when you are on hydroxyzine. It would increase the side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, drop in blood pressure and impaired thinking.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S,
