THIS IS THE BOOK THAT YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!!!!!!

Dr. Stahl's book (Prescriber's Guide) is the one book that I absolutely cannot practice without. Just finishing my first full year as a PMHNP and I must say that I have relied on this book as my go-to reference whenever I have had a medication related question. In my opinion, this is hands-down, the best psychotropic med reference on the market today!!!!! Thank you Dr. Stahl!!!!

YOU MUST BUY (don’t but kindle edition)

If you are in psych and are prescribing then you NEED this food. It has EVERYTHING in it from dosages to titrations to weaning and d/c'ing to adjunct care to WHATEVER ELSE YOU MAY NEED (or not even know you need).

**kindle edition is awful. Do not waste your money on the kindle edition it is unreadable.
