The answer?…Good old-fashioned PsychMeds Flash Cards
The contents of PsychMeds flashcards
Currently there are four sets, with 20-24 drugs on each.
1. Anti-depressants (SSRIs, MAOIs), and Anti-obsessionals.
2. Mood Stabilizers, Anticonvulsants, and Psychostimulants.
3. Anti-anxiety medications, Anti-ADHD, and Hypnotics.
4. Atypical (newer) anti-psychotics and Anti-Pakinsonians.
The older rarely used tricyclics and phenothiazines are not on these cards. If you want them, let us know by email - click here
The format of PsychMeds flashcards
Each has the Trade name on one side and the generic name on the other, the Drug class (e.g.SSRI, MAOI, etc.), and the most common clinical use, e.g. Antidepressant, Anti-Obsessional, etc. either FDA-approved or "off-label."
How to use the Flashcards
1. Cut apart the blocks of each 8 1/2" by 11" page apart and you have 24 convenient, small, neat, flashcards.
2. Wrap them with rubber band (For those in the midwest, use a gumband)
3. Put the deck on the dashboard of your car and practice two or three a day for a month. You will have memorized the names for the most common drugs. Practice when waiting in lines or for appointments. You will be learning Irritation Management as well as psychopharmacology. Maybe we should charge more.
4. Show off your knowledge around the coffee machine or with clients or appreciate again how knowledge is mainly its own reward.
The whole set of 4 - All the 96+ psychmeds and some blank cards is just $4.95 including shipping.

Do they really cost us $5 to make? Well, no, but you will be getting your order “fulfilled.” Surely fulfillment is worth a few lousy bucks? Not good enough? Ok. how’s this: purchase them along with the HIPAAHelp book or CD or the Reference List for ICD-9 and save a few bucks.
