Paxil : An Introduction
Paxil is used for treating depression, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, pre menstrual dysphoric disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Paxil (paroxetine) works by acting on the nerve cells situated in brain. Human brain contains innumerable chemical compounds called as neurotransmitters, which act as messengers between nerve cells. When serotonin, one of these neurotransmitters, is released from the nerve cells, it lightens the mood. When serotonin gets reabsorbed by the nerve cells, it no longer shows any effect on the mood. Decreased serotonin release from the nerve cells triggers depression. Paxil works by inhibiting serotonin re-absorption into the nerve cells and prolongs the lightened mood caused due to serotonin release. Usually it takes 2 – 4 weeks for Paxil to give the desired results. Hence it’s recommended that you keep taking the medication even though you feel that you are not getting any benefits in the beginning.

Depression in the US is seen in 1 out of 10 individual as what statistic has found. Many factors are seen to be connected with depression. A life changing situation may trigger it but some cases are seen to have no precursor. The real cause of depression is still unknown but there are many theories about it. Some experts on this field are saying that the cause of this is the lack of Serotonin in the brain due to the fast breakdown of Serotonin in the brain. Depression is also high in women due to the hormonal change that they have. If a family member has depression it would make other members prone to developing depression but it doesn’t mean that people who don’t have a family history of depression are not at risk. Depression can also come in certain age groups like in teens and elderly. Others who are at risk are people with negative attitude, introverts and have low self esteem. A study has seen that Paxil users are at a risk of heart attack than non-Paxil users especially in ages 60 and up. Psychologists say that the first step to recovery from depression is recognizing the signs. Depression does only cause sadness but also irritability and anger. Depression may also cause a person to lack interest in doing day to day activities. They may lack sleep or may also oversleep. Without any intention of gaining or losing weight but have gained or lost weight by 5kgs in just a month. They also lack concentration even in performing simple tasks and in making decisions. They have repeated thoughts about death or committing suicide. Lack of energy due to inadequate sleep. Moving like they are in slow motion or like they are in a constant unrest but in some cases they may be catatonic in which they won’t move at all. Feelings of worthlessness and guilt always plagued them. As a way to manage the following symptoms, doctors prescribe antidepressants like Paxil. Although it may stop the feelings of depression and the person may regain their life back, it doesn’t give 100% insurance that it will cure the person. They will not feel that they are fully free from depression which makes them take the drug continuously and eventually will be dependent on the drug. Thus they won’t feel any relief from the smaller dose that they used to get. Some people even experience severe side effects from Paxil. Paxil birth defects are one of the startling side effects that Paxil has and it happens when an expecting mother takes Paxil during the first trimester of her pregnancy.

Question by Maritime Mummy to 2 Little Imps!: Is depression common near the end of a pregnancy?
How do I tell the difference between actual depression at this point and mood swings associated with the hormones? If they’re mood swings, I seem to be bursting into tears an awful lot lately. More often than not lately it seems like I’m just crying. This is my second baby and I don’t remember feeling like this during pregnancy. I know I had PPD, which came along about 3-4 weeks post partum.
So, depression or just freaky hormonal mood swings?

One of the dangers of acne medications are they can cause severe side effects for the users. Isotretinoin is advertised as Accutane in the United States and is prescribed when acne is very severe and nothing else works. It is a form of Vitamin A and works to lower the quantity of oil which is released by the skin. It also helps skin quickly renew itself. Nodulocystic acne is treated with Accutane when all other treatments have failed. Accutane can be taken in tablet form as an effective treatment for acne, but there are risks of serious side effects.
Side effects in women who are pregnant can include serious birth defects in their unborn baby. This is the reason FDA regulations are adamant that females of childbearing age are required to take two tests to make sure they are not pregnant before beginning a course of isotretinoin. These women are also required to use two types of birth control for a month previous to starting the treatment and during the Accutane treatment, plus a month after the treatment. It is also vital that they do not breast feed during the course of taking Accutane. Other potential side effects caused by taking isotretinoin can include abdominal pain, severe chest pain, and depression, thinning hair, diarrhea and rectal bleeding.

Those experiencing tinnitus would agree that this condition is a partner of stress or depression. Tinnitus is characterized by that constant ringing in the ear which manifests in several forms like a buzzing sound, hissing, whistling, roaring, ticking, or high pitched whining among many other irritating noises.
With the unwanted, bothersome constant noise that disrupts normal daily life’s activities it’s no surprise that tinnitus patients also experience stress and/or depression.
Question by : I feel like I’ve lost all my friends since my pregnancy…help?
I am 17 years old and I got pregnant…it wasn’t on purpose…I was using as much protection as I could, and things happen I suppose. When I first announced my pregnancy everyone was completely supportive. I planned on marrying the father in the first place. I am finishing High School baby or not. Everyone told me I was “doing the right thing”…and I feel like I am. I take absolute responsibility for my actions and while I know I may need my parents love and support during this time, I would never dream of having them care for something I did. It’s my child, my responsibility. During this time I have before the baby arrives in April, I’ve been trying to mature myself (I’ve been told I never acted like a teenager…I’ve been outcasted by most people at this school for that reason…I can’t relate to other teens so well) as well as I can.
Through the time since August when I found out my friends have become less and less supportive. In fact, most of them have even stopped talking to me except to mention that I’m starting to get a belly. The only times they do talk to me is to tell me I will probably go in to premature labor or miscarry. I’ve missed 5 days of school so far due to accounts of depression because of my friends treating me this way and refuse to let myself miss anymore of them. I feel like I’ve always been there for them when things got rough, and that just because I’m changing to accommodate the needs if my soon to be child they shouldn’t start giving me the silent treatment…I still try to talk to them…even my teachers are treating me terribly…They talk down to me and they didn’t used to…I’m not sure how to take all of this…how should I take it?
I come from a very small town of about 800 where everyone knows everyone and so forth…I’ve always only had a very small amount of friends…but now it seems like I don’t have any…I am the only pregnant girl in school right now…
