DSST Drug/Alcohol Abuse

[snazzlefrag]

Does anyone have any advice?
I'm studying for this for Tuesday. Looks like a focus on pharmacology and alcohol. But I'm wondering if I'll have to know each and every effect/withdrawl symptom of each drug... I can barely pronounce half of them! :eek:

Any feedback is muy appreciated!!!

btw - It's fiesta time here in San Antonio, so ironically, i'm studying alcohol instead of partaking of any - bummer!

Hi libartsmgr,

You do need to be familiar with the symptoms, effects, and withdrawal effects of the MAIN drugs of abuse. Don't go overboard, but at least be able to recognize which drug they are asking about when they mention certain withdrawal symptoms, or certain effects.

This chart will help you....

These are very useful web sites with info on all the various drugs of abuse...
