Question

I'm in college and really stressed because I have a paper due tomorrow. I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety and it's hard to focus, but I know I need to finish it. I've been thinking about taking my Atarax and combining it with caffeine, like maybe 3 shots of espresso. Is that safe?

Combining Atarax (Hydroxyzine) with caffeine is not recommended, as it can cause conflicting effectsAtarax is a sedative, while caffeine is a stimulant. This may lead to increased anxiety or other discomfort. It's better to focus on calming techniques or consult your doctor if you're feeling overwhelmed.

Question

I've been experiencing dreams every single day, and sometimes they get really scary. When I wake up from these, I feel so restless and tired, like I haven't slept at all. This has been happening since I was a kid, but after my dad passed away when I was 23, the dreams got much worse. He would often appear in my dreams and I would cry. Although it's not as intense now, I still have this issue with dreams every day, even if I take a nap during lunch. It affects me so much that I just feel exhausted all the time. I've never talked to a doctor about this before, but I'm starting to really worry. Could you please help me figure out what's going on?
