Is Vistaril Advisable Instead Of Zyprexa For Anxiety Disorder?

My son has anxiety disorder, so he drank to self medicate. He went to detox where he still remains, and was given Zyprexa to reduce his anxiety. He was taken off Zyprexa today, and given Vistaril instead. He is 42yrs. Old and has an irregular heartbeat. Which of the medication is better for him, considering his heart problem?
