But everything I have read suggests it is also an antihistimine???
I am guessing the sleepiness kind of effect is meant to relax you???

Antihistamines have effects on anxiety. I am no expert on the med, but I would be surprised if they prescribed you a med that was primarily for allergies for anxiety.

They prescribed me this medication when I was in hospital.
Some mental health services seem to think prescribing a benzo is like giving cyanide to a baby.

They have vistaril, aka hydroxyzine, as a med for anxiety that treats allergies primarily.

My doctor told me I could take a gabapentin (Neurontin) one a day for anxiety. I haven’t taken any. Also he prescribed Lexapro, an SSRI antidepressant, in a very low dose, to see if it would help with worries and obsessing.
