Hydroxyzine

[Westfieldgod]

I have 100mg of Hydroxyzine. I was wondering how much I should take in combination with Alcohol, to get a decent buzz going.

While I have never tried hydroxyzine personally (but I have experience with cyclizine, a very similar medication), from what I gather, anywhere from 25-100mg is a typical dose. 75-100mg hydroxyzine would likely be pretty sedating, but might leave you feeling groggy in the morning (esp. if you have no tolerance to H1 antagonists). do you frequently take any other drugs with anti-histamine properties? Perhaps you should try only 50mg your first time to see how you react to it.

Don't expect too much from this combo though, anti-histamines+ethanol isn't too exciting (it won't miraculously be euphoric à la opioids)... it can be a nice way to mellow out after a long day though.

It can be tricky to balance the effects of both drugs though. It's easy for the alcohol to overpower the feelings from the anti-histamine, or you might just get sleepy from the anti-histamine and go to sleep before you get drunk. I think your best bet is to take a medium-level dose of hydroxyzine, then slowly have a couple drinks over the next hour. You're going for 'buzzed' on the alcohol, not 'drunk' or 'wasted' if that makes any sense to you.

good luck.

Hydroxyzine is not really recreational, afaik. Mostly useful for potentiating opiates, from a rec. perspective.

I wouldn't bother.

Either just get hammered normally, or get some better drugs. Or both, with caution.

^this.

Hydroxyzine will be sedating but not euphoric. It will 'potentiate' the negative aspects of alcohol more so than the positive ones and while it will 'fuck you up' more, I wouldn't enjoy it.

I'd start at 25mg if you must do this and go up from there. 75-100mg as has been suggested will likely just knock you out (and I have a lot of experience with this drug using it to potentiate opioids).

Many have said great things about hydroxyzine, but personally I have never gotten the great anti-anxiety or sedative effects that many on this board claim. I've tried up to 100 mg and still got nothing.

100mg of hydroxyzine won't get u high, it will slightly relieve ur anxiety though

Maybe I just didn't notice the effects because I'm so used to benzos. I've been on prescribed alprazolam for 4 years now, so maybe that's why.

Thanks, I'm thinking about just taking 50mg of it with 5 mg hydrocodone, and a few drinks.

That's probably the better plan, its only useful as an antihistamine (it's designed purpose! ), as a mild anti-anxiety agent and to help out opiates.

I personally think its one of the better first-generation (sedating) antihistamine for opiate potentiation. 50mg with 5mg hydrocodone would be plenty, you probably won't even need/want the alcohol with that combination.

hydroxyzine IME is actually pretty sedating 100mg nailed me to my bed a la 200-250mg DPH, im not a big drinker but i cant see hydroyzine adding anything good to an alcohol buzz.

As everyone else has said it's not a euphoric drug. Very sedating and good with opioids apparently, wish it was available here in Oz.
