Vistaril vs. Ativan

Head-to-head comparisons of medication uses, side effects, warnings, and more.

Key takeaways

Hydroxyzine (Vistaril) and lorazepam (Ativan) are both medications that treat anxiety. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that can also treat allergy-related symptoms. It's typically only used for short-term anxiety treatment and isn't usually a first-choice treatment option. Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine that works by increasing the levels of a chemical called GABA, which helps calm the mind and body. Lorazepam is a controlled substance due to its risk of dependence and misuse. Both medications can cause drowsiness and should not be mixed with alcohol.
