2008 Psychopharmacology Manual
This manual has been put together for informational purposes only. It is not meant to be used for clinical practice. Each physician will have their own methodology in treating children and adolescents, as many of these drugs have not been fully tested for use with patients under the age of 18. When questions arise regarding medication for a specific youth please consult the treating physician.

Please be aware and attuned to the possible side effects of any medication, especially at the onset of starting any new medication. In particular watch for suicidal ideation with antidepressants, stimulants, and Strattera. Watch for adverse effects of all stimulants, such as hallucinations and psychosis.

It is our hope that this manual will be helpful in the field for therapists, case managers, counselors, court personnel, and child-serving agencies. We encourage you to reproduce this manual as needed and to distribute it to all staff who may benefit from its use.
