What Are The Side Effects Of Hydroxyzine?
My son is on hydroxyzine. He has been on it for about 3 months or longer. Can this cause him to loose his ability to take responsibility for his own actions...ex. he threw something and hit the wall but completely denied it....like he really didn t think he did it. He takes one 25 mg in the morning and one in the afternoon

Yes this is possible with use of hydroxyzine for a long time. Hydroxyzine can cause involuntary movements as a side effect. You have not written why he has been taking hydroxyzine. If you would have written here, I could have suggested an alternative. You can write it later.
Advice
1. Continue hydroxyzine as suggested by your doctor
2. Discuss about this side effect with your doctor
3. Avoid swimming, operating machinery and driving if he drives vehicle
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
