Not much to say about this excellent reference book except that I don't know what kinds of pockets they think I have. The "doorstop guide to prescription drugs" is more like it. We had one in the house at all times while I was growing up and I find this is a much better resource than the internet, just because you don't have to sift through as much questionable material when all you really want to know is whether a specific side effect is normal, or if you can take NSAIDs with your antidepressant.

Wish the pill identifier would show more. I was looking for a certain pill and kept getting no results when I searched for it.

I actually read this one from start to finish. Go me. As strange as that is it was actually a very good reference book. I enjoyed it.
