The most common side effect of antihistamines is drowsiness?
Common side effects of antihistamines are drowsiness, which is why you should never drive or operate heavy machinery when taking them, dizziness, restlessness, nervousness and upset stomach. Other side effects, which aren't as common are dry mouth, dry nose, irritability, difficulty urinating and blurred vision. In most cases, the side effects from antihistamines are barely noticeable. However, the real problem with taking these drugs is not so much from what they do to you, but from what they don't do.

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).
