RN/C NS = manage psychotropics?

Posted by Museux Cat on June 11, 2010, at 23:46:49

Is it normal for a CNS/RN to manage a person on four medications? Is hydroxyzine an appropriate substitution for buspar and seroquel when the patient is responsive (i.e. obtaining a full night's sleep for the first time in almost a decade) without additional side effects?
FDA suggests that hyroxyzine is not indicated for long-term (>4mo.) therapy.
Other meds are - effexor-xr and lamitcal. Patient has been on long-term treatment for PTSD/sexual abuse/GAD/depression and is cogent and otherwise healthy. All good advice is appreciated.
