O-chem. Don't know what level you are ready for. Asimov's "World of Carbon" is good on specifics but still general/high-school audience. Also also his "World of Nitrogen" which covers hetero-O-chem. After these two, jumping into a college level intro O-chem textbook is pretty easy. Just a bit more math and specific reactions to learn, which may or may not be necessary depending.
Yes, Asimov as in the SciFi author - The guy was god!. Well, Asimov did have a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Columbia (!!) so he knew what he was talking about!!
Biochem. Some of pharmacology depends on biochem so knowing some can be useful. I read Stryer's Biochemistry in high school (several times, 3rd addition IIRC. It's up 6th now. Still gold.).
Neurophysiology. Back in the day I read this which was before "Neurophysiology" actually had a name. It was pretty good at the time. There are lots of newer texts now. Include Intro to Neuropsychoparmacology for a mere US$37. :-)
BTW I was pretty much to a college level of O-Chem by the 8th grade (read Asimov's two "World of"'s in the 6th grade) and heavy in to biochem by the time a graduated high school. Yeah, a nerd. But now a well-paid nerd. And I don't even do chemistry so much now.

It's called "Indroduction to Neuropyschopharmacology". Here's a link on Amazon. I would highly recommend checking it out. It's VERY technical, so you will likely be checking wikipedia quite often, but it is well worth it once you get past the wordiness.
My textbook for my neurotransmission class is really good. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0195380533/ref=redir_mdp_mobile
Make sure you have your fundamentals down, otherwise the rest will be noise (or worse, appear to be simple),
