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.

I had an LPN prescribe me my meds because that's all my insurance would pay for. She gave me my maintenance meds plus anything else I wanted. Free flowing Ambien, amitriptyline, tramadol, she just didn't give a f**k.
My background is bipolar/borderline, on lithium, lamictal and prozac. Now I pay out of pocket for a real MD - $100 every 3 months.
Welcome to the board!
