How does hydroxyzine compare to these 2 classic sleep-aid antihistamines?
I have a metric fuckton of diphenhydramine pills, but unfortunately i feel the effects for at least 12 hours since ingestion and if some acute tolerance present i take 75mg and easily feel it 16hr later. It's not direct drowsiness but rather this weird feeling / high in the morning. Doxylamine IME is even worse and lasts longer too, so that's why i dont use it anymore.
On paper both diphenhydramine and doxylamine have fairly short half-lives so i don't know why do they affect me this way. Hydroxyzine has ~twice as longer half-life so it logically it should persist into the next day, but that doesn't mean it would necessarily make me feel weird.
What is your experience regarding this?
