Ray, thank you for all your content! It's making my study time easier. I have a question. If I'm not mistaken in your list there are 25 meds instead of 46. I don't know what I'm exactly missing😢
I presented a test yesterday, and I encountered about 3 questions about medications. The majority of the questions were case studies about what a social worker should do in specific scenarios. I have to say that studying and identifying the stage of the helping process is really important. I watched that video of you, and it helped me a lot. RayTube, you have a really cool style of explaining and teaching. Your tone of voice is good, and your attitude is friendly, making studying easier. It's also fun when you laugh at your own comments. Thank you for your videos. They helped me a lot and imparted a sense of peace!!
I passed my MSW exam today! I didn't end up *needing* the medication questions, but knowing I got them right helped me to have more confidence. I learned them entirely due to this video. I also pretty much studied with your videos. I'm so grateful to you!
Failed my exam by 1 pt and did not study medications Bc I heard there would only be 1 or 2 . You’re absolutely right about these being freebies, wish I found this video sooner. 👍🏾
Ray. I just passed my clinical social work exam. I’m grateful for your videos, it made studying easier and I enjoyed reviewing the material with you. Keep up the great work ✌️
Hey! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!🥇🎉🎊👏🏾🙏🏾 YOU PASSED YOUR EXAM!!!! I’m glad you enjoyed the videos and I was able to be a part of your journey! Thank you for being a part of our Tribe! ❤️🙏🏾
Just an update one of my friends took her LMSW exam a few weeks ago and said there were A LOT of medication questions. So this seems more significant now than it may have been when you made this video 3 years ago! Thank you
This is the absolute best video on learning medications for the LCSW exam. First one that made sense and provided the list of meds in the comments. Thank you!
Can I say something? You are simply the best. I have to go through the LICSW exam for a second time bc I let my license lapse (eye roll). But your energy is so great, I don't mind studying because I'm studying with you. Really appreciative of the positive vibes you're bringing to the process. Thank you!
I wanted to give your videos credit because I am sure they helped me pass the ASWB exam. I failed the first time and found your videos while studying for the second attempt. Your appraoch resonated with me and really helped me learn what I needed to learn. Thank you for what you do!!
Hey, Jamie! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!🥇🎉🎊👏🏾🙏🏾 YOU DID IT!!!! YOU USED YOUR PREVIOUS ATTEMPT TO LEARN AND PASS THIS TIME!!!! Thank you for being a part of our Tribe! ❤️🙏🏾
Thank you for the break down. I am studying for my exam now and did not realize that the book had the medications listed in my book. LOL. I have never learned what medications went with what diagnosis so I greatly appreciate your cues on how to remember them.
HI Ray! thank you for your AMAZING and helpful videos. Quick question - I am prepping to take my LMSW and I know you listed the medications that might be on the exam. Is it helpful to study the alcohol/opioid meds as well?
Yess I had this idea during my LMSW as well. Everyone was saying it was only one or two questions but I wanted to be confident in those one or two questions as well !
I don't know how i missed this i had you on my you tube channels and never really looked at all your videos lets just say i am studying for exam and have a certain study material and other sources i have looked at and the way you explain things make waaay easier to understand and recall info i love love your videos literally going through all of them cause every single one has helped me understand something i could not figure out why. Great job keep it up. I want to pass next month and feeling more confident and ready :) .
This is helpful, but I don't like the pauses/jumps past the card sorting. I think if you do the flashcards with us will help those of us with ADHD ;) Seeing the words helps. Though, I am already very familiar with many of these medications.
I took my exam a few days ago and passed. I used ur technique for both my questions and got them right. Its a huge milestone for me and I greatly appreciate ppl like you who do these videos. Thanks again, your help means a lot.
Hi Ray! I passed my LMSW examine yesterday with the EXACT score needed to pass!!!! While preparing for the exam, your words kept echoing in my head, "Medication questions could be the difference between passing or failing the exam." So true!!!! There were about 7 medication questions on the exam and I was well-prepared! Thank you so much! Your videos were very helpful!
@@theresadosiak6560 I used a variety of resources - Apgar study material/practice tests, Agent of Change videos, & the ASWB booklet that was required by for my college graduate's program MSW competency exam. I reviewed an overwhelming amount of material - Raytube videos helped me to have better understanding of concepts. I also prayed ALOT! God is good! You got this!
First, thank you SO much for these fantastic videos, they are SO helpful. Second, I'm a tad confused as you mention Abilify for anxiety in bold in the notes. While I saw it can be an 'add-on', I don't see it linked to anxiety. Did I miss something? Thank you!
Hi Ray, I recently took the ASWB practice test and one of the questions stated: "Which medication would MOST likely be used for treatment of depression?" Prolixin, Zoloft, Haldol, and Zyprexa. I used the PFPram method and chose Prolixin, but the answer was Zoloft. What could I do in this situation?
Studying for the EPPP with the mamba mentality in front of me at all times. Grew up in Chicago during the Jordan era. But Kobe's work ethic is unmatched. Hoping to channel my inner mambacita to get through this study schedule. Thanks for the study tips. Very helpful!! :)
Hey, Catherine! That’s definitely an amazing time in life to experience! I agree, the mamba mentality is something I believe we can tap into to really focus and get the best out of ourselves! You got this! 🙏🏾
I see it now!!! Thank you so much for answering. I found your video late and am taking the test in a couple of days. Your med trick will be helpful. 🙏🏾
Are the only antipsychiotic meds we should memorize the ones mentioned in your description? or should we memorize more like loxitane, mellaril, prolixin, etc (because these are mentioned in the book im studying) so I wasn't sure if i should memorize just the ones you wrote or those as well? thanks!
@@raytubelcsw 😁 Thank you! I'm currently prepping for the LCSW exam. A bit anxious as there is so many areas to study and so many resources out there. I love your videos. I notice I can remember the content more easily than just reading. I also have the dawn Apgar LCSW study guide and practice exam as well as the aswb pocket prep for the LCSW. I was also told the best thing to study (outside of your videos of course) would be to purchase and study from the practice exam on the ASWB which I believe is the last exam given. Any thoughts on what I should focus on? I want to take this and pass it the first time if possible :) I know sometimes life just happens but I'm wondering if I should even bother paying the $82 for the last exam given or focus on your videos and the other materials I have? I also asked some friends family and colleagues if they want to setup a study group for the LCSW exam. I think this may require all hands on deck. I've also been told the LCSW for 2023 will be different as they are making it slightly easier.
@@OrangeGlow888 Hey! I think the ASWB exam is worth purchasing because it’s coming from the official ASWB creator. Also, here’s a link to a quick video I made on approaching the exam. Hope this helps! th-cam.com/users/shortsZqrIGv37hHo?feature=share
Hi Ray! You’re videos are awesome and helping me study for my LCSW. I’m not able to locate the list of medications in the description box. How can I find that list? I want to create my study cards ❤
So what about celexa zoloft (sertraline) paxil (paroxetine) Luvox (fluvixamine) all for depressive disorders. They don’t fall under the P or F pram tip
Are there any tricks for outliers like Zoloft and Vyvanse and others that don't match the qualifiers you gave? Or just make sure to memorize them separately?
This is great. Keep up the good work. FYI: There appears to be a typo under the nonstimulant meds for ADHD -- Concerta ( I am not sure if you are in the US or another country where it is spelled differently).
Are there more meds listed on the test that are not on your list? I got a test question in my pocket prep questions with a med not listed on your list. When I checked my book it was there. Anyway, just wondering if the ones you chose are the more commonly prescribed ones, but should we also know the less prescribed ones?
Hi Ray, thank you so much for this video. It makes sense although I have a question. Is there a reason why it should be 46 cards instead of the 23? Can we put both the brand and generic name per card to remember them together? Will those names change later, Or is there a specific reason why they should be separate? Tia ~
@@b.raybon1833hey! I recommend placing them on completely separate flashcards to help with the memorization process but ultimately which ever way works best for you!
Just came here to say, I failed my exam today by 16 points. Crazy because majority of the information I studied was not on the exam I took today. Not one question about medication or Mental disorders. Shocking.
What was on your test? What topics? Im shocked cuz theres always 1 or 2 about medications & mental disorders are the topic of majority of the vignette questions
Hi Ray, what is the protocol when dealing with minors? Is this anywhere on the code ethics? I wasn't able to find anything. I'm asking because a friend of mine is upset that her 15-year-old daughter was given a diagnosis and was advised about medication for depression. This without talking to the parents first. My friend is pretty upset about it and i dont blame her. What is the protocol when dealing with minors about diagnosis and recommending medication? Isn't the therapist supposed to talk to the parent first? I figure this is something good to learn in case it's on exam but also to help my friend. . Thanks.
I was wondering if you know if the test will ask for knowledge of the generic name or non-generic name of a medication? Or will it just ask for the medication for a specific dx? If that makes sense... Wondering if it would be helpful to write the flash cards with the generic on one side and non-generic on the other
@@raytubelcsw Thank you so much... I mean will you need to be able to match the generic to the non generic name? Sorry that's prob confusing ... anyway so grateful for a friend turning me onto your channel!!! 🙏🏼
Hey, Jeff! In short, yes. There has been research done that shows what medications are most effective in treating disorders. Some medications can even be combined.

@@raytubelcsw using this is a motivation and affirmation. I will come back to this comment and say I passed! 🫶🏾
This is so helpful. Thank you. What about buspar/buspirone, as an anxiolytic? I don't see it on here.
@@michelescordato7304 hey! Yes! Please check the comment pinned at the top of this video 👌🏾
Okay. Thanks.
@@raytubelcsw Hi, I'm taking the test Monday. A little nervous...I can't find the link in your video to view the medications.
Thank you so much for all of your content.It's really super helpful! Much appreciated Ray!
Hey, Gillious! I appreciate you as well! 🙏🏾
@@raytubelcsw 😁 Thank you! I'm currently prepping for the LCSW exam. A bit anxious as there is so many areas to study and so many resources out there. I love your videos. I notice I can remember the content more easily than just reading. I also have the dawn Apgar LCSW study guide and practice exam as well as the aswb pocket prep for the LCSW. I was also told the best thing to study (outside of your videos of course) would be to purchase and study from the practice exam on the ASWB which I believe is the last exam given. Any thoughts on what I should focus on? I want to take this and pass it the first time if possible :) I know sometimes life just happens but I'm wondering if I should even bother paying the $82 for the last exam given or focus on your videos and the other materials I have? I also asked some friends family and colleagues if they want to setup a study group for the LCSW exam. I think this may require all hands on deck. I've also been told the LCSW for 2023 will be different as they are making it slightly easier.
@@OrangeGlow888 Hey! I think the ASWB exam is worth purchasing because it’s coming from the official ASWB creator. Also, here’s a link to a quick video I made on approaching the exam. Hope this helps! th-cam.com/users/shortsZqrIGv37hHo?feature=share
@@raytubelcsw thanks so much!!!!
Hi Ray! You’re videos are awesome and helping me study for my LCSW. I’m not able to locate the list of medications in the description box. How can I find that list? I want to create my study cards ❤
I was wondering the same
So what about celexa zoloft (sertraline) paxil (paroxetine) Luvox (fluvixamine) all for depressive disorders. They don’t fall under the P or F pram tip
Hey! This is for some, not all
Are there any tricks for outliers like Zoloft and Vyvanse and others that don't match the qualifiers you gave? Or just make sure to memorize them separately?
Love this method! 😊📚📓✏️
Thanks for the study advice? Question...what's the story behind the pink elephant?
No problem! Thanks for checking out the video. Elle? I'll save the story for a future video lol
This is great. Keep up the good work. FYI: There appears to be a typo under the nonstimulant meds for ADHD -- Concerta ( I am not sure if you are in the US or another country where it is spelled differently).
Hey, Doreen! Thank you for letting me know. It is now adjusted.
You are absolutely amazing!!
Ray, I listened to your videos on the way to Atlanta and they were so helpful in my review. These hints for meds were really great!!
Thank you so much for sharing this information.
Hey, Charlene! Absolutely!
just curious, where does duloxetine fall under?
Hi Ray, would you add or change anything to the list of mood disorder meds you have since you created this video in 2021? Many thanks
Hey! An updated list is pinned to the top of the comment section 👌🏾
Are there more meds listed on the test that are not on your list? I got a test question in my pocket prep questions with a med not listed on your list. When I checked my book it was there. Anyway, just wondering if the ones you chose are the more commonly prescribed ones, but should we also know the less prescribed ones?
Hey! These are the most common medications
Thank you for sharing this great information
Absolutely! Thanks for checking out the video Lashon.
Hi Ray, thank you so much for this video. It makes sense although I have a question. Is there a reason why it should be 46 cards instead of the 23? Can we put both the brand and generic name per card to remember them together? Will those names change later, Or is there a specific reason why they should be separate? Tia ~
Hey! Put them on separate index cards. You may get a generic medication on the exam.
@@raytubelcswI was considering writing the generic name on the front of the card and listing the brand name & disorder on the back
@@b.raybon1833hey! I recommend placing them on completely separate flashcards to help with the memorization process but ultimately which ever way works best for you!
Thank you so much for this!
Can you list all of the medications in each category ? @raytube
Thank you for this. I wanted to know are you an LCSW? Thank you for your videos. It helped me on the practice exam.
Hey, LaTiffany! Yes, I am an LCSW!
Just came here to say, I failed my exam today by 16 points.
Crazy because majority of the information I studied was not on the exam I took today. Not one question about medication or
Mental disorders. Shocking.
Which exam did you take?
@@darbramy316 everyone takes the same exam (different versions of course) no matter where you live/take the test.
What was on your test? What topics? Im shocked cuz theres always 1 or 2 about medications & mental disorders are the topic of majority of the vignette questions
This is SO helpful! thank you!!
You are a lifesaver. Thank you :)
I got you!
BEST explanation video, thanks!
You're welcome :)
Trying to see where you list the meds
This video was so helpful! Thank you.
Hey, Elisha! Thank you! I'm glad you found the video helpful :)
Hi Ray, what is the protocol when dealing with minors? Is this anywhere on the code ethics? I wasn't able to find anything. I'm asking because a friend of mine is upset that her 15-year-old daughter was given a diagnosis and was advised about medication for depression. This without talking to the parents first. My friend is pretty upset about it and i dont blame her. What is the protocol when dealing with minors about diagnosis and recommending medication? Isn't the therapist supposed to talk to the parent first? I figure this is something good to learn in case it's on exam but also to help my friend. . Thanks.
Hey, Eve. I would Google the state laws regarding minors in your state/location
“Keep in mind I got this”
Are there medication questions on the LMSW exam?
Peace Ray I'm gearing up for the my LMSW EXAM would this help with that or is it just LCSW, i'm in Louisiana
Nice!
Do most of the meds in each category have the same side effects? I’ve seen some practice questions asking about specific side effects.
Hey, Brandi! Some have different side effects. I'll add that to the list of videos!
THANK YOU for this!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Hey, Bella! I got you! 🙏🏾
what about the meds that treat multiple things
What are some ways to remember the schizophrenia meds?
🙏
Is this still relevant 3 year later?
@@thecrow7818 hey! The updated list is pinned at the top of the comments 👌🏾
Where do we get the list of meds you are talking about? Want to make sure I am studying the right ones.
In the description
Do you have that list specifically?
Hey Ray, could I use “zine” to remember schizophrenia meds?
Hey, Joi! Do what works for you! We just need it to stick lol
@@raytubelcsw thank you 🤞🏾
Why isn’t this one sticking, Ray? Please help.. you said 46 meds but I only have 45, not sure what I’m missing
Hey! I think it might be this one - Ritalin/Concerta (Methylphenidate) which I counted as "3." Hope this helps!
thanks bud!
I was wondering if you know if the test will ask for knowledge of the generic name or non-generic name of a medication? Or will it just ask for the medication for a specific dx? If that makes sense... Wondering if it would be helpful to write the flash cards with the generic on one side and non-generic on the other
Hey, Nicole! Yes, I mention it in the video. We need to know both so I recommend putting the brand and generic name on two separate flashcards
@@raytubelcsw Thank you so much... I mean will you need to be able to match the generic to the non generic name? Sorry that's prob confusing ... anyway so grateful for a friend turning me onto your channel!!! 🙏🏼
@@nicolewidmanyou won’t need to match them
@@raytubelcsw thank you 🤍
@@raytubelcsw thank you so much! do you recommend we know the side effects?
How do physicians/medical professional know which specific medication to prescribe based on the diagnosis?
Hey, Jeff! In short, yes. There has been research done that shows what medications are most effective in treating disorders. Some medications can even be combined.
Hello, do you offer tutoring services for LCSW?
Hey, Monique! I have a study group this Saturday!

Thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the video!
@@raytubelcsw I used your tips and passed my LCSW exam Saturday :) immediately went in and wrote them down, thanks soooo much!
@@chattyjessi YES!!!! Great job!!!
I don't see the link with the meds listed.
Hey, Phil. Click the description of this video. It’s a slightly grey box right below the video.
What list of meds are you using?
Hey, Angela. The list is in the description of the video.
There was no list of meds? What are they?
Hey! The list is in the comment section below
