Hi,
Sorry to hear about your disease and all the hard times you are going through. Hydroxyzine is basically an anti histamines used for allergies. However it may also be used for anxiety.
In large studies, it was found to be as effective and safe as other drugs called Benzodiazipines which are most commonly used for anxiety. So, yes it may be working for your anxiety.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
