I'm prescribed hydroxyzine pamoate for anxiety and cetirizine for allergies and I take them both together at the same time. Should I be taking them together? I'm also on a lot of other meds that I question too but we will start here. Thank you.
Is it OK to take hydroxyzine pamoate and cetirizine at the same time?

Hi, mntLynn!
There is a risk of dizziness, drowsiness, etc., but you'd be aware if that's a problem if you've already been taking them together:

You can use the Interactions Checker for your other meds:
https://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html
You may find that there are some (or many) interactions but keep in mind that these effects usually fall into the "benefit outweighs the potential risk" category.
If you have concerns you can ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
