Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

Hydroxizine is a good anxiety drug but it has sedation as side effect. The drug help in symptomatic control of anxiety. There are other medicines available which can control the anxiety without sedation and have anti depressant effect also like SSRI or SNRIs.
Apart from that you can try relaxation methods for anxiety as breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation exercises, yoga etc. Consult a psychologist for help.

thanks
