I am starting a new job in a psych hospital and was wondering if there are any books /sources that you recommend on psych drugs?
for example, there was an order for Ativan IM for a pt who was on Zyprexa IM...
I just dont want to miss any of those tricky situations...
Ive worked in retain fro few years and did not have to deal with psych pharmacy in that aspect.
Especially pediatric psych
Any good books/sources for psych pharmacists?

There's a board certification in psych - even if you don't intend to take the exam you could use the study materials from BPS as a psych specific primer and CE.

Thank you!
which Stahl's text do you recommend? There is prescriber"s guide, then there is nonscientific bases and practical applications...

Thank you for the BPS advice...
5 just went on the BPS website and cant find any psych prep... :-( May be I am looking at a wrong place?
