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
Post away your comments and suggestions.
This is quite a good joke you have on antidepressant drugs.
