Anti Depressants : A Story Towards Mastery
The Psychiatric nursing part of the NLE always tend to ask you to classify drugs if they are antidepressants, major tranquilizer, anxiolytics, antiparkinsons, etc.
It is really hard to memorize these all. Remember the story of Marinol and Penny? How about Tranxene? This is our third story and hopefully, I can come out with the fourth one. I dont know if these things help you, but These are the things I used to memorize drugs that are impossible to memorize using traditional methods.
This is original and not copied from anywhere else. Post away and tell me if this help so I can know If the application of this strategy is universal, or only works with students who appreciate stories.
This is a very nice strategy for instructors who want to divert students' attention, fooling them that you are telling a story but in the real essence, you are teaching drugs and their classifications in a really unexpected way.

Depressed ang magbarkadang si NORA, [ Norpramine ] ELA [ Elavil ] at ANA [ Anafranil ] At nagpunta ang tatlo sa AVENIDA [ Aventyl ] Para makilahok sa welga. Sila ay mga TOFnotchers [ Tofranil ] ng kanilang mga unibersidad at mga ASCENDERA [ Ascendin ] ng kanikanilang mga angkan.
" IMPRISON [ Imprin ] Dionisio and Madeja! Sunugin SINA KUAN! [ Sinequan ] VIVA [ Vivactyl ] Nursing Students! " Ang sinisigaw ng mga magkakabarkada at nakasulat sa kanilang rally banner.
Dumating SI LEX [ Celexa ] Ang pinaka FAVERITE [ Faverine ] na newscaster sa pinas.
Nora, Ana, Ela : " Mga PRO [ Prozac ] Retake kami! Di namin LUV [ Luvox ] ang mga PAXIL [ Paxil ] na Board examiners na yan! Mabuti pang mag ZOLO [ Zoloft ] Nalang kami at pupunta sa PANAMA[ Parnate, Nardil, Marplan ] at doon nalang kami mag nurse! Ang sagot ng mga magkakabarkada.
NOTE :
From NORPRAMINE up to VIVACTYL = TCAs
From CELEXA up to ZOLOFT = SSRI
Parnate, Nardil and Marplan are MAOI
