highly recommended

Easy format, to the point

I use this book frequently, and think it invaluable for those of us who do general medicine--very easy to find vital information such as titration and tapering of meds, great "pearls". Down and dirty, non-esoteric, great for every day use.

OMG, I love this book, though I'm just not a 5 star kinda person. It helps me get the essential info with clear and basically pleasing/non obtrusive design -- sort of Dummies guide with color. I am particularly pleased that he includes tapering schedules in weaning off meds and what to expect. Seems like a good book for boards, too. He is sort of wordy but it's forgivable because it's very useful and thorough info that we need to know, managing patients on these meds.

Viva Stephen Stahl!

Simple yet very informative

Very well organized. Full of helpful information that one can clinically apply...Its a must for anyone who prescribes psychotropics. The Pharmacist in our clinic bought one immediately after reading just a few pages...

Valuable psychiatric meds resource for psychologists

This book has a wealth of detail about psychiatric medications including both the mecahnisms of action in the brain, but also the useful side-effects and the likelihood of the different ones, eg weight gain, mental alertness etc. Also the potential problems of combination effects and many other aspects including wash-out times for changing. It very helpfully cross-references the pharmacological name with the current brand names. A small problem for me is that it does not have all the Australian brand names so when this happens I check the web, then add these into the book, but this is only rarely needed.The book gives me confidence in greater awareness of what might be medication-induced side-effects when I am seeing a client and also how to provide more information to them about meds as it appears that they often don't have this. The book is very well laid=out so you can see things quicly without having to wade through reams of text. A very valuable book which I cannot recommend highly enough
