Personal experience of the daily use of 60-120 mg of Prozac (one of a large family of
pharmaceuticals known as the selective seratonin reuptake inhibitors) has show a
profound ability to suppress the male sexual drive WITHOUT influencing the secondary
sexual characteristics, without adverse affects on liver function, bone density,mental
acuity (memory,concentration,mood,sleep cycles,reading speed/comprehension).
These drugs have been successfully used to supress abnormal sexual drive in para-
philiacs (e.g. pedophiles, victims of hyper-sexualism, ets.)
Their function seems related to the fact that for sexual arousal to occur,it is necessary
for seratonin levels to be LOW. Since high levels of seratonin are generally necessary
for a general sense of well being (absence of depression/anxiety/mood swings),it is
suggestive that the low levels of seratonin exhibited in males experiencing romantic/
erotic love could explain why this state is experienced as being of mixed emotional
content, either very joyful or very distressing, in wild swings of emotion.
The Secondary sexual characteristics (muscle mass,body/facial hair,voice quality,male
aggressivness,ets) remain essentially intact,making these drugs a ideal solution for
male sexual problems of a pyschological nature. It is virtually impossible to overdose
on this class of drugs,and the large number of differernt drugs using different chemical
pathways make it easy to avoid building up a tolerance to their effects. One simply
need only switch between different subgroups to avoid this. More drugs,using new
chemical pathways are being constantly discovered (estimates of the currently avail-
able number in the range of 100 and is increasing annually).
Prozac is an antidepressant drug that increases the level of the neurotransmitter?
It increases the availability of serotonin in the synapses (spaces between nerve cells). However, THE CLAIM THAT PROZAC OR OTHER SSRI MEDS "CORRECT A CHEMICAL IMBALANCE IN YOUR BRAIN IS NOT PROVEN, NOT A THEORY, AND NEVER GOT PAST THEY HYPOTHESIS STAGE OF RESEARCH."
Can you take NyQuil while on Prozac?
Generally, no. Most versions of NyQuil contain dextromethorphan which, when mixed with an SSRI such as Prozac, may cause seratonin syndrome, which is rare but potentially fatal. Symptoms include irritability, confusion, vomiting, etc. Some versions of NyQuil do not include this ingredient and may be safe to take. Check all the ingredients listed and talk to your doctor or pharmacist first!

How can a medical model help someone with depression?
Depression, since it involves imbalances in brain chemistry, is very much a medical issue. A medical model helps scientists understand the underlying causes, and assists in developing treatments.
Can you take embeda with clozapam and fluoxetine?
The product information for Embeda contains no specific information to warn against combined use with clonopin or fluoxetine. It does however include the following:
EMBEDA should be used with great caution and in reduced dosage in patients who are concurrently receiving other central nervous system (CNS) depressants including sedatives, hypnotics, general anesthetics, antiemetics, phenothiazines, other tranquilizers, and alcohol because of the risk of respiratory depression, hypotension, and profound sedation or coma. When such combined therapy is contemplated, the initial dose of one or both agents should be reduced by at least 50%.
Is it safe to take Depakote and Wellbutrin together?
I don't think anyone should make a medical decision based on what they read on the net without thoroughly discussing it with their doctor, but I will share my experience. I have taken wellbutrin every morning and depakote every evening for about five years. before i found this combination with my doctor, I could not hold a job or even stay in school. Now I have a master's degree and I am in law school. I give a lot of credit to having discovered the right combination of psychotropics FOR ME.
Lexapro didn't work. What is another alternative?
I would say, Better you get the suggestion from your Doctor. Because none other than Doctor would know well about the medications. If the Doctor says okay, buy your Non-controlled medication at http://www.MEDonWeb.net

Quit The Prescription Junk Forever!Reduction Chart Below
HELP LINE - www.RedfordHelp.com
Realize you are fighting a well-armed enemy. That is… it once was a friend, but now it's an enemy. Your enemy… and it wants to take away from your life whatever it can.
If done correctly, you do not have to suffer. Let me say that again… <-
This enemy looks benign, it is just a pill; but it has gripped itself deep within your person.
You have to "decide" you are going to defeat it. In reality it is not that complicated to accomplish, it is just a pill, yup… a stupid pill and it is messing up your life. Get mad at it!
If it takes many months to slowly tapper off, you are still achieving your goal… one reduction at a time.
No one but you can set the pace to slow to a stop and it is okay to change the pace along the way. The goal is to not quit the process of quitting, ever.
Once you have "decided" you are going to win, telling anyone but the people helping you about your plan is a bad idea that puts unnecessary pressure on you. Do not let the pressure of what others think effect you in any way when it comes to quitting. What they think is not important to you at all. You are going to war, and they are not in the war.
Establish your plan. It is okay if your plan changes but make a plan, on paper is best.
Example: Although the MGs will vary greatly, the percentages below are a good place to start. If at any reduction you experience side effects that you can't take, CHANGE YOUR PLAN! This is the only time it is okay to increase your dosage back to where your last reduction was.
Starting Dosage - 16MG daily.
First Reduction 25% or 12 MG daily
Second Reduction 25% or 8MG daily
You have already reduced by 50%!!! This is a great accomplishment!!!
Third Reduction 12.5% or 6MG daily
Fourth Reduction 12.5% or 4 MG daily
You have already reduced by 75%!!! This is a great, great accomplishment!!!
Fifth Reduction 6.25% or 3 MG daily
Sixth Reduction 6.25% or 2 MG Daily
You have reduced by 90%... GREAT!
Seventh Reduction 6.25% or 1 MG Daily
You have reduced by 96.25% !!!
At this point you have practically quit the junk, only 3.75% to go. Just continue the reduction as gently as you can. The whole process can take months to come to a full stop, that is fine, just make a plan and keep to it unless you need to back step a reduction. Your plan and not increasing your dosage is a key to success. Especially mentally, as you are setting a plan you are comfortable with and if you keep to it you will experience great satisfaction at every decrease. It is a great idea to celebrate each reduction, go out to dinner or whatever is special to you. MAKE SOMETHING OF IT!! Before you know it, it will be a thing of the past, just stick to your plan as it evolves, and don't stop stopping!
Bless God!

Can taking Prozac for a long time stop its ability to help with depression?
Yes. Even after 3-9 months, the effectiveness can diminish due to your brain's adaptation to the dose - so the dose increases help keep up with the adaptation. Over time, you can only take so much of one med, so they switch to a new one or add another one, even though there's not much if any research on mixing various medications.
How will i feel tapering off Prozac 20mg to 10mg?
It depends on the person and your body chemistry...Go to a doctor.
When to restart fluoxetine after fluoxetine overdose?
I would seriously considering speaking to your doctor. I'm going to go ahead and assume that the overdose was an accident, but either way you should let your doctor know so that as he/she may help you. If fluoxetine was helpful prior to the overdose, it may indeed be helpful to restart it, when your physician believes that this is the right thing to do.

How much trouble can you get in for having someone elses prescription of Prozac?
Are you referring to the doctor written paper prescription form itself, or to the bottle of pills? Either would be a violation of law - the actual possession of the pills being more serious.
