Pharmacopedia:About

Born in May 2026, Pharmacopedia started primarily as a one-man project of MDElliottMD, who'd been dreaming of some place for the people who recommend and/or use medicines of the mind to collaborate and create consensus-driven information, founded in a deep faith in the wisdom of the crowd.

First, I hope this to be a reasonable and reliable reference for prescribers of all sorts to find relevant and accurate information for their practice: available strengths, titration strategies, pill IDs, etc.

But almost moreso, I hope that this place can be a lively, collaborative place for a communal effort in understanding the bizarre world of medicines and human brains. I hope that by pooling our collective anecdotes, we might actually make some data, of a sort.

The site empowers users (with 2-FA) to share their experience about almost every aspect of the site, in as fine a detail as I thought was tolerable. I hope that by pooling our estimates, we might find something like truth.

For now, I, MDElliottMD, am the only person who can approve/publish page edits, though I hope to have a team of moderators some day.

I am not a software developer, but I am a top-tier expert in medicines of the mind. I will keep the place as tidy as I can.

This project is not, in an way, driven by money or profit. The link above is as far as I will go to promote myself or my brand here. At the moment, I am happy to fund the project in its entirety. If that changes, I may some day ask for donations.

This project was entirely developed and partially populated by Claude (Opal 4.7), and is based on the Mediawiki code base, bless their souls.

Much of the interface (voting, especially) here is run through an extension that I made with Claude: Pharmacopedia.ext, which I'm happy to share with whomever wants it. Probably easiest to get ahold of me through my website above.

Thanks for coming by. Would be honored if you could help inform the hive mind.
