Is it ok to take Hydroxyzine HCL 25 mg while taking Zoloft 100 mg?

And if it is, I am a mother of 2 small children, one of whom that is autistic, and I still need to be awake and alert!! Obviously!!LOL
Answer:
Those two medications don't have any documented interactions. However, they both have the possibility of drowsiness. I'm guessing that you are on Zoloft and wish to add the hydroxyzine? If so, you may be used to any drowsiness that Zoloft can cause (which isn't much if at all!) but that depends on each individual. Hydroxyzine may cause drowsiness but certainly not to the extend that other antihistamines do.

I think you'll be just fine.

Hydroxyzine is the "parent drug" (when you take hydroxyzine, your body turns it into something else.or also called a metabolite) of cetrizine...also known as Zyrtec. So, if you've ever taken Zyrtec before and you were fine, I wouldn't worry at all.
