Hello all!
Im a student working on a pharmacology paper. I have done some research thus far and wanted some opinions from some psych nurses. What drugs have you heard of or used to tread PTSD? I was given this topic by the instructor and I have to compare two diff. drugs used to treat the given disorder. I have found that the use of drugs to treat PTSD is not as common as psychotherapy but there are some out there..i have found that SSRI's are commonly used and MAOIs...are there any others you have heard of? If you have given meds to pts for PTSD, how did they respond in comparison to those who just received psychotherapy...thanks so much, any info you guys have i appreciate..:) I have my own research but i am interested in actual observences from nurses in the field:)
