Brief Answer:
Melatonin is much safer

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Hydroxyzine should be avoided at every cost as it increases the chances for abnormalities of heart rhythm.
Among the available options melatonin is best option as no interactions are known with Fluconazol. In case it is required you can use upto 10 mg per night for sleep problem.

I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
