Thank you Nurse Cathy, your videos help me a lot on my ATI’s (all level 3)

my memory trick for anticonvulsants
to avoid seizures you need to make good pasta, and good pasta includes carbs (carbamazepine), acid (valproic acid) and lamons/lemons (lamotrigine)

Let them ads run y’all ! It’s the least we can do for this excellent info!

[JacqueBrown]

I thought Lithium was obsolete these days..Had a girlfriend, she is/was bipolar but refused to take her medication although her mother & aunt insisted so she ended up in the psyche unit again...Thanks Ms.Cathy P. for this valuable information.

[MariaMiranda-ihfj]

Thank you Katy so much for every GREAT video with such a great and precise information!!!😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[hayleybillson]

Another cool chicken for lithium that I thought of was lithium sounds like ick and yum, which are "polar" opposites. Therefore, they are for bi"polar" disorder!!

[sarrahmupfiga]

Thank you for such a detailed and well organized video❤

[adrianbrincat]

very interesting and informative Nurse Cathy Parkes.

[catherinewren]

Very interesting and informative. Thankyou.

[MrCatsrock]

There does not seem to be many options for mood stabilization. Lithium does not metabolize for me.

[JeffreyWilliams-drqe]

Very fortunate to tolerate Lithium er for 20 years. However not working anymore.

[getebekele]

[karmaline]

Thankyou. 20 years lithium but been hospitalized 10 times. Dr never offered me other option just added on serequel but I can’t handle the serequel. Any advice? Carbamazepine or depakote or somethime else?

[deanthompson]

[vivianoguama]

Hi, I am taking my nclex in few weeks . Do you have online lectures for those testing for nclex?

[chloenapier]

Memory trick I made: Val (valporic acid) is mad (bipolar) because she can’t eat carbs (carbamazepine) in her lambo (lamotrigine) without triggering a seizure

[dustinclark]

I take lithium, thanks for terrifying me lol
