5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2007

This little book is worth the price I paid for it. It has pertinent information in a condensed but very usable form. I have it with me in the clinic as a reference and it is one of three references that I use on a regular basis. I had been using the 2006 edition and was glad to see the 2008 edition was available. With so much to know and so little time my thanks to the authors.
This is the link to one of the other books that I use on a regular basis:

 Essential Psychopharmacology: The Prescriber's Guide: Revised and Updated Edition (Essential Psychopharmacology Series)

It is more expensive but again worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect peripheral brain for drug dosages, etc.
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2014
Verified Purchase
I jokingly refer to this little book as my peripheral brain - actually not really jokingly as I near retirement. I use it every week at least once to check on how small a dose a drug comes in that I don't usually prescribe. The content is accurate and the format makes the book a joy to use. With so many new drugs on the market, I wish it was published every year. The PDR print is too small for me and the book has become to large to easily use. The Handbook couldn't be handier. Highly Recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars handbook
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2011
Verified Purchase
I use the handbook more days than not to help me make decisions about prescribing and to educate my clients about side effects. It is small and easy to carry with me all day. It is missing some drugs like Pristiq and different forms of drugs like no Seroquel XR. But its benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great easy to carry reference!
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2011

New 2011 edition--Excellent quick reference--actually "pocket" sized. Highly recommended for students. Condensed general information about each category with details for the most frequently prescribed drugs in each category (not all). Covers just about everything you really need to know. For what it is-basically an outline in a small book-well worth the low price!

Very bad comparing the price, it is too small, with too old contents, if you printed it it will be cheaper by so far

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs updating
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2012
Verified Purchase
I had a 2005 book and thought I had lost it, so I decided to buy a new book. I work with a very restricted formulary (all generics) so the 2005 book was adequate for my needs. This is a little book with a lot of information about titration, which I found very useful. It's small, so it fits well in a labcoat pocket.

I do work one day per week in private practice, so I decided to buy the new edition hoping that it included some of the newer meds, such as Saphris. Well, I managed to find the old book and compared the two. There is really not that much difference. So if you need information on the latest and greatest, then this is not going to help you much. If I had known that, I might have updated to a later edition, but not bought the 2011 version as the older edition would have been adequate for my primary job.

I grade it as 3, because I do like this book, but it loses points for slow updating of information.

Very very helpful. The newer version is about $1,000...I settled for the 2008 which reviews showed that that newer version did not include newer medication and that the 2008 version was more then sufficient. And, I think I got this for under $10

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise quick reference
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2012

It's an excellent quick reference. No one has time to read while on rotation. It helps during rounds, a simple look through at the drug. It gives you starting dose, maintanence dose, adverse effect and special uses. All the highlights you need to know.
