Stahl's book is extremely useful, very helpful for the actual work of deciding which Rx to use, how to use it, and what to be cafeful about. The only drawback to this otherwise really excellent manual, is that the author does not include the anti-parkinsonian drugs that we sometimes use to treat EPS side effects.

I am a primary care NP. I encounter patients who are already on a lot of psych meds and I also prescribe meds for depression, anxiety, etc. I have found this book to be absolutely essential. It covers each drug individually, and covers dosing, side effects, interactions, special populations, etc. in a complete yet concise manner. I recently had a patient who wanted to stop taking Cymbalta, which had been prescribed for fibromyalgia. I needed to quickly know approximately how long a taper I needed to design for her, and the information was in this book, as opposed to the ambiguous language of the manufacturer's prescribing guide.
There is one problem for me, though. I immediately realized that this is a book I want in my office *and* at home. I want it at home -- either in print or digital form -- for those times when I am on call and say, a patient calls on a Saturday with complaints of side effects of one of these medications. Or maybe they want to stop the drug, like my patient on Cymbalta. But when I went to the online website (sorry, Amazon probably won't let me link to it), the publisher wants $195/year for a subscription to Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology online. While Essential Pharmacology consists of more than just the Prescriber's Guide, I don't really need that. I just want to buy this book. There is no Kindle version of this book, and there is no smartphone app. So I am left to decide whether I want to buy another print version or maybe buy a cheaper print version of an earlier edition. The $195 online access is just way too expensive. The publisher needs to get with the times and offer reasonably-priced digital/online/app versions of this book.
