Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I read your query carefully.
There is no indication of using hydroxyzine in migraine.
If i will be your treating doctor i will Advise you to
1. Take proper sleep atleast for 8hours. make a proper schedule for eating and sleeping.
2. Avoid certain foods which might trigger the migraine like cheese,chocolates,red wine and dairy products.
3. Do regular exercises and walk.
4. Take Acetaminophen 1000mg twice a day after meal. if it will not be helpful then take Naproxen 500mg twice a day after meal.
5. Avoid sharp lights.
6. Do relaxation exercises.
After all these ,if you still do not get better then you should visit your doctor.
Hope so it will be helpful. you can write again in case of any query or follow up.
Wish you good health.
