Can My Social Anxiety Disorder Be Treated With Luvox?

Filed under: Luvox,obsessive-compulsive,social anxiety,social phobia,SSRI,Uncategorized — Paul @ 2:32 pm

Luvox is an antidepressant that is used to treat social anxiety disorder (social phobia). Luvox can also be used for treating people who suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorders which involve recurring thoughts or actions. Luvox works by acting as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and changes the chemicals in the brain so that they can be re-balanced. Many researchers believe that Luvox is an ideal SSRI as it is less agitating and tends to work faster than other SSRIs.

What Are Some Of the Causes of Social Anxiety Disorder?

While researchers have not found any confirmed causes, they believe that there are number of contributing factors.

Family history can hint toward whether someone is susceptible to social anxiety disorder. People who have family members that are experiencing the same disorder or other social phobia related disorders are more likely to develop social anxiety disorder.
Social experiences, either direct or observed, can act as a trigger and may eventually lead to a person developing social anxiety disorder as they are begin to develop a phobia of certain social situations.
Social and cultural influences also play a role in causing social anxiety disorder since some cultures lack the reinforcement of interpersonal communication and contact and others tend to place a great deal of importance on how others perceive you.
Chemical imbalances have been found to contribute to social anxiety disorder as an imbalance of serotonin in the brain can negatively affect a person’s perception of social interaction. Pharmaceuticals including Luvox can help treat this issue.

Before using this medicine, tell your health care provider about any of the following: if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription medicine or dietary supplement (eg, benzodiazepines, theophylline, warfarin) if you smoke if you have a history of addiction if you have any other medical condition.

Filed under: BPH,DHT,dihydrotesoterone,enlarged prostate,proscar,prostate,testosterone,Uncategorized — Paul @ 1:23 pm

Researchers have found that the older a man gets and the amount of testosterone and dihydrotesoterone found in the body are major factors in determining the risk for an enlarged prostate.

Can Lozide Help Treat My High Blood Pressure or Swelling?

Filed under: high blood pressure,hypertension,Lozide,swelling,Uncategorized — Paul @ 12:22 pm

Lozide is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is also used for the treatment of swelling associated with heart failure. It should not be used for any swelling related to pregnancy.

Lozide can also be used to reduce the amount of water in the body by increasing the flow of urine. It works by making the body lose excess water and salt and prevents the kidney from reabsorbing salt and water that is destined to be eliminated in the urine. This results in increased urine output.

Lozide also reduces the salt in the smooth muscle of the walls of blood vessels that help the muscle to relax. In turn, the relaxation of the vessels results in reduced blood pressure.

As blood pressure increases, so do the stress levels for the arteries and heart. If high blood pressure goes unchecked for too long, the arteries and hearts may not function correctly. This may cause severe damage to the blood vessels of the heart, brain, and kidneys which may lead to a heart attacks and strokes. If blood pressure is controlled, than these issues are less likely to occur.
