Hi,

Hydroxyzine may cause drowsiness, dry mouth and eye problems in certain patients. I strongly suspect that your complaints could be due to Hydroxyzine.

I suggest you to consult your doctor for confirming the diagnosis and for prescribing alternate drug.

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