Index of Psychiatric Medications
Listing of antipsychotic, antimanic, antidepressant, and antianxiety medications by generic and brand names. Also a children's psychiatric medications chart.
To find the section of the text that describes a particular medication in the lists below, find the generic (chemical) name and look it up on the first list or find the trade (brand) name and look it up on the second list. If the name of the medication does not appear on the prescription label, ask the doctor or pharmacist for it. (Note: Some drugs are marketed under numerous trade names, not all of which can be listed in a short publication like this one. If your medication's trade name does not appear in the list--and some older medicines are no longer listed by trade names--look it up by its generic name or ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.) Stimulant medications that are used by both children and adults with ADHD are listed in the children's medications chart).
