Need quick advice. I've been prescribed hydroxyzine- brand name is vistiril. The usual adult dose for anxiety is 50-100 mg, but they gave me 25, but said I could take it every 4 to 6 hours. Sexual side effects are NOT listed in the side effects, but the paper I have says not all side effects may be listed. Does anyone know if this is an issue? Also, I have not had any sleep and have to be up at 8- if I take it will I be out of it tomorrow? I know it can make you drowsy. The doctor said not to take it the first time in public, but I need to try it now, so that I will know how it will affect me by Sunday because I have to talk to people and debate Sunday and it makes me nervous. I want to take this med then, but not if it is going to make me out of it, so I want to test it out today and am afraid when I get up in a few hours, thanks to taking this med, I'll be out of it or something. I am going out with some people today and can't be acting wasted. Anyone have any ideas what to do?

It's an antihistamine. Won't hurt you sexually, mostly just have mild sleepiness that you can deal with I'd imagine. It should also help you get a better night's (more continuous) sleep. Go ahead and try it before you need it to see what happens with you. I use a children's chewable grape Benadryl that way.
