Prescriber's Guide: Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology

When I discuss medications with students, I love the tactile feel of an actual book. Sure, I can look it up online, but there is something satisfying about going old school and using a real book!

Great resource for mental health providers and individuals interested in psychopharmacology. Well laid out and packed with helpful information! Each medication is in color coded sections to easily spot information you may be looking for

Doesn't disappoint. Another great, useful guide that's a must-have for providers.

I bought Stahl’s Prescriber’s Guide thinking it would be a “helpful reference.” Little did I know it would become my bedside buddy, my coffee table companion, and occasionally my excuse for looking busy at work. Pros: Covers everything from A to Z in psych meds. Makes me sound like a neuropharmacology wizard. Cons: May cause spontaneous daydreams of combining SSRIs with antipsychotics just to see what happens (don’t try this at home). Bottom line: If you want your inner nerd to high-five your clinical side, Stahl’s is basically a love letter to psychopharmacology.

I grew up professionally with Stahl. It's a good desk reference and also has visuals that I use with patients.

Excelente guia de psicofarmacologia de mucha ayuda

Bye now!! This is definitely a must have. I was a little hesitant at first due to the price, but after I purchased and seen how wonderfully written it was, I was mad at myself for not purchasing it sooner. definitely a game changer.

After much review and using my preceptor’s 6th addition, I’ve decided to “bite the bullet” and by the 8th edition. Additionally, I’m glad that I bought the non-spiral edition. The book arrived just in time for me to use it for my class presentation’s APA reference. I’m a visual learner so having icons and short legible bullet points are a must for me and this book delivers it. I know it’s expensive BUT please know that if you are in the mental health world, this will become your bible.

Testo indispensabile, molto completo e di facile consultazione

It's good

Bought this one for work, same as I bought the Clozapine Handbook and the LIthium Handbook. This is an invaluable resource - even if I am Canadian and some of the medications included within are only sold in America. Oh well, a pharmacist can dream while reading out drugs that are so close and yet so far. Aside from that, I really enjoy how simply and straightforward the information is presented for each drug. I wouldn't use this as a means of in-depth researching a medication, but if you want a quick & dirty rundown of all the basics, this is the book I'd reach for.
