Phoenix is always trying to start something. 😉 But, I believe his question was not in jest.

True, this pharmtard needs some tips. 😉
Other people in other forums.. ie allo and pre-allo might recomend you take some drug; that will help you read about drugs. 
Oh.. my solution btw would be whiskey.. it helps everything.
lol...and I'm sure it'll help you pay extra attention to the drug you just tookMegalofyia said:Other people in other forums.. ie allo and pre-allo might recomend you take some drug; that will help you read about drugs.

Try to relate the individual drugs to the systems that they affect and understand why. Learning brand and generic or dosages is fundamentally boring, but you can always look it up. Knowing about the body systems and how each drug (or drug class) affects them is something that you can't just look up for every patient.phoenixsupra said:
i honestly don't know how to keep from being incredibly bored....
perhaps JD is right about the way they affect and why but then again that's just basic stuff and typically you can get that out of an abreviated text...
i would say.. look at the book you are reading...
the worst one out there for me (in pcol) was goodman's and gillman's
the shorter, dumber books are sometimes more interesting and may meet your needs for certain subjects.
Though when having to learn structures of sugars in biochem i made up songs i got so bored......
Good luck.

I love Goodman & Gillman, but NOT if I have an exam the next day (too much information!). I love my pcol for idiots book too, which is quite the opposite. (Basic Concepts in Pharmacology, by Janet L. Stringer, M.D., Ph.D.)bbmuffin said:
try taking some of the drugs yourself.

Thanks to everyone who answered my question. Knowing that even the pharmguru's can find this stuff a little snoozy at times is is very helpful to know. I'll redouble my efforts and get back to the books. Good luck with your studies. 🙂 
gah! you have just reminded me that you have to do stuff once you get accepted into pharmacy school.
lol. seriously reading about drugs cant be worse than reading about accounting . i would die if i had to study accounting all the time.
