Well I take them both - but I think for different things. I don't know what an anxiolytic is but if it is supposed to reduce anxiety I would say neither of these do that.
Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that is often prescribed for its anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) properties. It can be effective for short-term relief of anxiety symptoms, particularly in situations like preoperative anxiety or acute anxiety episodes. However, it is not typically used as a first-line treatment for chronic anxiety disorders, as other medications, such as SSRIs or therapy, are generally preferred for long-term management. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and treatment options.
