Best Answer

Vistaril, (Hydroxyzine) is an antihistamine, used primarily for the treatment of itches and irritations, for the reduction of nausea, as a weak analgesic by itself and as an opioid potentiator (to allow smaller doses to be effective as painkillers). It is also used for the treatment of anxiety. It is not a benzodiazipine.

NO, Vistaril is an antihistamine and would not report as a benzodiazepine on any reliable test for commonly abused substances. In fact, Vistaril is one of the few prescription medicines for anxiety that is not commonly abused.

Vistaril is an antihistamine and Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine. I don't think you quite answered the question that was asked. Vistaril is also used to treat anxiety. The biggest difference between Vistaril and Ativan (Lorazapam) is: Vistaril is non addictive as opposed to Ativan, which is! It is also, Not a controlled substance. Whereas Lorazepam is! They are 2 totally different drugs! If your wondering if it will get you high, Yes it will.

Does vistaril enhance the effects of oxycodone?

Yes. First generation antihistamines (i.e. Vistaril, Benadryl) increase the analgesic effects of most opiates so that a lower dose of opiate can be given. Antihistamines also reduce some of the side effects, such as itching and nausea. Vistaril can also inhibit the enzyme that metabolizes Oxycodone, but I think that is negligible unless the Vistaril dose is very high (over 100mg).
