    Hydroxyzine dosage?

    I take 25 mgs of hydroxyzine and was curious to know what others take. I also take 50 mgs of imipramine. I still get up 2-3 times most nights, depending on if I'm flaring. Occasionally, I will only wake once, which is a Godsend! Thanks,

      I took 25mg of Hydroxyzine.

      I only took this because it seems as though my body is very sensative. I still had that "antihistamine hangover" with 25mg. My uro however had said that he had patients on 25, 50 or even 75mg a night.

      Talk to your uro.

      Hope this helps.

        Diagnosed August 2001

        Current IC meds: Elmiron (since 2001), Levaquin (one pill after intercourse to prevent UTIs), Effexor (for depression & anxiety)

        Past IC meds: Amitriptyline (Elavil), Hydroxyzine (Vistaril), Detrol LA, Lexapro (for depression & anxiety, but also helped my IC) (They all helped, but I was able to discontinue them.)

        I've been virtually symptom free and able to eat & drink whatever I'd like for about 8 years now.

          I take 75 mg at night. I had to work up to it slowly so I wouldn't be "hungover" in the morning. I very rarely get up more than once in the night (since I started hydroxizine) and most nights don't get up at all. It has been a real miracle for me!

            I take 30 mg but like the others I started feeling it in the morning and I could not go to work like that. But now I have to call tomorrow because my ic is in big flare right now. I am not sure what to do, maybe he will up it 10 mg for me just the pain is awful. Good luck and let us know how you are doing.
