My upcoming post-apocalyptic western horror game is TL5 and I am using the following Psi drugs (GURPS Psi-Tech p. 33-34):
Blocker, Brainstorm, Catalyst Drug, Mind-Hype, Muffler, Psi-Boosters, Shatter, Trance and Window I need better names for them. Either patent medicine or new-age (there's a new age like religion in the setting). Blocker, Muffler, Shatter, and Trance probably should have Patent Medicine names. Catalyst Drug, and Mind-Hype should have New Age type names. The others could go either way. Boosters maybe should have different name for each Power. |

I could have swore in Biotech there was a table for making random patent names.

Patent Medicine? Like "Hamilton's Brain Tonic"?

Oh for some reason I thought you meant like Oxycotin.

Bonus points for names that actually relate to what the drug does.

Banisteriopsis caapi, also known as ayahuasca, caapi or yajé is the root held by the shaman in ALTERED STATES, one of the latter names might be good for the Catalyst drug.

So, as an example, something like "McGillicuddy's Number 7 Nerve Lubricant" for Catalyst Drug

As background, you should read this: Paranormal experiences on DXM. Real world psi drugs. Really.
