Abilify (Aripiprazole) is an antipsychotic medication that can also be used as an “addon” medication in conjunction with another medication for depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Schizophrenia when the other medication is not enough.

*Tardive Dyskinesia is a possible sideeffect of long term use from antpsychotic medications

Tardive Dyskinesia causes involuntary face and body movements of your tongue, lips, face, blinking waving your arms, etc.

ADHD

Ritalin/Concerta (Methylphenidate) // Make a flash card for Concerta as well
Adderall (Amphetamine)
Dexedrine (Dextroamphetamine)

Memorize the medications for ADHD, Abilify (Aripiprazole), and the other 2 A’s (Alprazolam and Ativan) are for anxiety. By doing this, you know that if a medication begins with A that you didn’t fully memorize, it’s most likely an anxiety medication.

Memorize – PF Pram = Depressive Disorder
VXK Pam = Anxiety Disorder

*The testing site provides us with something to write on so I recommend writing the shortcuts down as soon as you’re able to

Memorize “PF Pram” = Depressive Disorder
Any medication that starts with P, F, or ends with “pram” = Depressive disorder

Prozac
Paxil
Paroxetine
Fluoxetine
Fluvoxamine
Citalopram
Escitalopram

Memorize “VXK Pam” = Anxiety Disorders
Any medication that starts with V, X, K, or ends with “pam” = Anxiety disorder

Valium
