Amy - I did some searching on Google and found this information about Atarax. Apparently it is an antihistamine and one of the side-effects is drowsiness. Does your doctor's office have an advice nurse you can talk to? Perhaps a quick chat with the office might help you to understand better how this medication is supposed to affect your son. Some physicians will prescribe a steroid for severe reactions. I'm not a doctor - you'll need to consult with a physician for more information on specific treatments.

Every person reacts differently to poison ivy and even reacts differently from time to time. So it's not surprising that the twins are reacting differently.
