Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain hydroxyzine acts as anti histamine or an anti allergic and dizziness and lethargy seems to be due to side effects of hydroxyzine as well as the symptoms can be due to effect of allergen that has not completely weaned off..
You need not to worry as the symptoms are temporary and will get resolved gradually as the effect of allergen and the anti histamines will wean off from body..
As of now you should take appropriate rest and avoid going out along or driving as dizziness can cause accidents..
You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
