I have access to an online version through a previous employer, which luckily hasn't canceled my account. I didn't read the entire chapters on serotonin and antidepressant drugs, as it can get dull. Even there, you might not find the kind of extreme detail you're talking about, though. Complete data on the differences in affinities for subtypes of subtypes of receptors might only be found in research papers (which I can read many of through previous employer as well).

I like Stephen Stahl because he has the ability to make almost anything understandable.When was Goodman & Gilman's last updated? It has been around for a long time.
Thanks for the suggestions.
