Headaches after stopping medication

I have been taking Hydroxyzine Pamoate, 25mg. or Vistaril 25mg. for the last 17 to 20 years. I recently ran out and could not get to the doctor to have the prescription refilled for at least 2 weeks, then I didn't have it refilled for another week. In the past week nothing I have done is any different than normal except for not taking this medication. I have had very bad headaches everyday for the past week, my skin has become so itchy, and scratching brings reddish purple spots to the surface. I also had another very strange episode this week, one of the spider veins in my leg burst, while putting lotion on. Could any of this be due to stopping the medication? I have taken this medication for chronic hives.

Thanks
