Just wondering if I've tried it and it has another name. Nothing has helped my itch. I've had four ERCPs. The last one they planned on keeping me over night. I have awakened during them; that is painful. I've also had uneventful ones. Here's hoping yours is simple and successful.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Martha, The other name for Vistaril is Hydroxyzine. It's helped so far. Today's 's 46th bd. Poor guy got called into work- he's an OR nurse & on call tonight. ): Happy almost New Year! How come they kept you in hospital after 1 of your ERCPs?
