okay so i genuinely need help because i am losing my mind a little bit

i feel like i have learned and relearned the same 20 drugs like 50 times but anything past that just completely falls out of my brain the second i close my notes

like i KNOW metformin. i know lisinopril. i know atorvastatin. cool. that's 3 drugs. i have 197 more to go. great. amazing. love that for me.

i work part time so i realistically get like 1.5 maybe 2 hours a day to actually sit down and study and half of that time i'm just staring at a list of drug names that look like someone fell asleep on a keyboard

tried quizlet — okay for like 10 minutes then my brain just goes on autopilot and i'm flipping cards without actually reading them

tried youtube — watched a 45 minute video on beta blockers, felt like a genius, woke up the next morning and could not tell you a single thing. not one thing.

tried just reading — lol no

the thing that's really getting me is i don't even know if i'm studying the wrong things. like am i supposed to know full mechanism of action for every drug? just the side effects? brand AND generic? all of the above? nobody gives a straight answer on this

i've seen people on here say they passed and i genuinely cannot figure out how because i feel like i'm running out of time and i haven't even touched antibiotics properly yet

so be honest with me — is this actually doable in 4 weeks or am i cooked

what actually worked for you because i will try literally anything at this point
