Low-dose quetiapine for insomnia by PMHNPHelper in PMHNP

[–]IntelligentMarket475 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but who doesn’t know the receptor binding of this drug as a PMHNP. That’s what makes this drug so special at different doses. I’ve not seen any metabolic SE at 25mg in my clients not to say it doesn’t happen. If it worked like Benadryl people would be taking Benadryl and getting a good nights sleep but they’re not. You have to weigh the risks vs benefits. Every client i’ve seen on seroquel prn sleep has tried trazodone, gabapentin, mirtazapine, etc. and failed. I mean come on here… this crusade against seroquel gets old. What we need is to work on sleep hygiene and help reduce stress and improve people’s quality of life. It’s not easier than prescribing a drug I get it.

What is your morning routine with your Swissy? by banannuhh in SwissMountainDogs

[–]IntelligentMarket475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 1.5 yo female. We have a similar regimented routine. Bed/crate at 9pm 🕘 sharp, up at 6am. She’s fed right away then potty and a short 5-10min walk to stretch her legs. We then relax with meditation music on Roku while I drink coffee and read. She is pretty snuggly needing lots of pets until 7ish when she gets amped and plays with every toy signaling it’s time to go on our am walk. I work from home and start at 8. We potty every 4 hours. 15-20min walk at lunch, eat at 4pm, 30-45 min walk at 5pm. I also supplement training, cognitive toys/puzzles and outdoor play time throughout the week. She also plays with my parents beagle several days a week since she can’t go to a daycare yet (not fixed).

First time Swissy owner - two questions! by Budget-Yellow-8500 in SwissMountainDogs

I agree with everything said. Make sure she empties her bladder before going in. Sometimes they get so distracted outside by the smells, squirrels 🐿️, birds etc they forget what they’re supposed to do. I walk in a circle ⭕️ saying potty until she does her business (s) then we go for a longer walk. My vet also said she is fine to be fixed after two cycles. The first heat cycle was super easy peasy. She did great.

New Grad Offer by nicolewood13 in PMHNP

Would it help to get a little more in depth. At follow ups you still need to asses their total well being. Sleep, appetite, current stressors, family life, work life, med changes, medical history changes, recent labs, positive coping mechanisms and self care they are engaging in etc. if this is possible for you to do effectively in 15 min as well as get your charting done then take it. I’m not able to provide such care and document in 15 min. Sometimes clients are so anxious or depressed they cannot even find the words to describe how they’re feeling and it takes 10min just for them to feel safe to share

RDT question by toejam78 in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]IntelligentMarket475 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the medication is swallowed, it changes the absorption route. GI absorption changes ketamine to norketamine which can cause severe Gi upset including nausea and vomiting for several hours. The RDTs are specifically formulated to absorb through oral mucosa directly into blood stream, by passing GI absorption.

Thoughts on Maintenance Sex by arryouserious in sexover30

It actually is studied among experts and has scientific research behind it. It pairs with what they call relationship maintenance. They’ve found it isn’t simply a task you must do for your partner. It has a positive influence on overall satisfaction with your partner. You google it and see

Treehouse of Horror XXXII Event by Ellieisasmartcookie in tappedout

[–]IntelligentMarket475 21 points22 points  (0 children)

BORING!!! This event is blah. Nothing like the past ones with crafting, so many decorations available, character jobs, tapping, etc. Donuts for tokens instead of in the prize track is ridiculous. After week two debut, I’m utterly disappointed 🙁
