Medication for Anxiety Helps Older Adults
2009-01-21 09:43:00
Medication for anxiety is ?modestly beneficial? for very anxious older adults, according to a new study, but it takes four weeks or so to work. Researchers looked at one specific drug, Lexapro, part of a class known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), to see if it could help relieve the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in older adults. Those with the condition worry chronically and can?t seem to stop, with their quality of life affected. SSRIs are medications prescribed for both anxiety and depression and are thought to work by correcting an imbalance of the brain chemical serotonin. ?Although these medications have been examined in younger adults, there has been very little examination of them in older adults,? says study researcher Eric J. Lenze, MD, associate professor of psychiatry at Washington University in St. Louis.

MEDICATION IS IMPORTANT
2008-12-17 19:48:00
Medication is also known as medicine, which is used in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment of the disease. The importance of medication is not yet known to many of the people. What all people think is just to have own medication for the illness and disease they get. Most of the people are unaware of the consequences that occur due to these habits. It is really dangerous to have own medication unless you are a doctor. So, please consult a doctor if you have any illness or a disease. The following are some of the medications.• For the gastrointestinal tract or digestive system• For the cardiovascular system• For the central nervous system• For pain & consciousness• For musculo-skeletal disorders• For the eye• For the ear, nose and oropharynx• For the respiratory system• For endocrine problems• For the reproductive system or urinary system• For contraception• For obstetrics and gynecology• For the skin• For infections and infestations• For immun...
Why Should I Feel Like a Criminal When I Buy Allergy Medication?
2008-09-15 04:22:00
I am completely sick of having to feel like I'm a criminal or that I live in a police state because some dumb @$$ kid wants to get high and possibly kill himself by making homemade meth.  At first I was a little confused and complied cause, well my allergies were bad and I needed something that worked, so I went to the pharmacy counter and dealt with the stupid request to show my ID to legally purchase what was supposed to be over-the-counter allergy medication.Now I see these commercials that tell me I have to get it "at the pharmacy counter" without mentioning of course that you need to show your government issued ID which they record and then they force you to sign a book so they can track your movements.   This will of course keep the drugs off the street.  They think that drug makers and homebrew idiots are dumb enough to not pay some other idiot to get them drugs.Sure this may seem like a rather late rant to the issue, but I guess I was asleep at the wheel when it happened or...

Should I Have A Natural Child Birth or Use Medication
2008-05-05 09:15:00
Many women have asked the question should I have a natural birth or use medication . The question is which one will be more beneficial to you health wise. Having a baby is a natural procedure. Sometimes a medication is necessary because it can save a mother's life. Most women have a epidural because it is more convenient to the mother and has nothing to do with the health of the women. This debate has been around since we knew how a baby arrives in the world. In ancient times, mothers did not have a choice. It was only natural. By not using medication during childbirth to some mothers lets them feel closer to their unborn child. Some studies have shown by using medicines can interfere with your body movements and could be more uncomfortable. Natural childbirth lets a mother be in control of her body. The mother can feel discomfort in certain positions. If this happens changing positions could help with the delivery. I have spoken to some mothers who have had natural and used an ...
The Slackers: Self Medication
2008-05-02 17:26:00
The Slackers: Self MedicationThe Slackers have been making traditional ska for over 17 years now. On their 7th full length album, Self Medication they offer up more of their smooth blend of ska, rocksteady, reggae, dub, soul, garage rock, and jazz.The luster of third wave ska like Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish that made those bands hits in the 90s was the manic energy they played with. The Slackers play the ska that was the predecessor to reggae. The music is fairly slow and melodic and the vocals are very soul oriented. The main instruments are keyboards and guitar with horns used as accent pieces.I feel like there is a very specific mood you have to be in to enjoy the Slackers. On "Self Medication", the song for which the album is named, Vic Ruggiero sings "My favorite medication is whiskey and weed". I feel like that line speaks to the audience of the band. The music sounds great in a night club or in a opium den, but for everyday listening it doesn't quite make the ...

Meditation Is Medication - Is It True That Meditating Is Medication For You
2008-04-24 07:00:00
Humanity has ever sped forward. In the west we have a totally different view of what medication really is. For science, the spiritual aspect is generally left to people to decide on and label. This unbiased view though is a great position has caused the continuance of many health problems. This article may have some controversial thoughts on health, and your views may differ. I suggest you read with an open mind, so you can find the truth for yourself. This is important because science does not include the spiritual. The psychologist looks at your brain, rather than the true aspects of your mind. Freedom comes from awareness. When you see a problem, you can fix it, but when you can’t see that problem, there is no way to fix it. How many thousands of people have mental health problems? Whether that be depression or schizophrenia? Science has held an impartial view. They have left the spiritual aspects to mystics and prophets. This neglect however has caused many problems. The p...

We need to know what medications your are taking to keep you safe.And yes, Birth control pills are a medication. We may want to know that you are taking them especially if you are 21 and complaining of chest pain - it may speed up the diagnosis of pulmonary embolus - something we don't normally suspect in someone your age.Don't forget to tell me that you take an opioid pain reliever, otherwise when I give you Nubain for pain it might be really unpleasant.Medication reconciliat...

Anti-medication groups combine forces to fight "forced drugging"

Promising to fight what they call "pervasive and harmful violations of mental health clients" who receive drugs and electric shock treatment in the United States, The Law Project for Psychiatric Rights and the MindFreedom Shield Campaign announced today a joint Task Force on Mental Health Legal Advocacy & Activism.Task Force organizers say the combination of PsychRights' expertise for strategic litigation and the "people power" of MindFreedom activists around the country will bring a synergy and geographic reach to their demands for people’s "legal and human rights" regarding medication use.The new partnership of law and nonviolent activists has an initial focus in the states of California, Massachusetts and New York, organizers say."People's rights in forced drugging proceedings are ignored as a matter of course, resulting in great harm to them and decreased public safety," PsychRights' President Jim Gottstein said.David Oaks, director of MindFreedom International, said vi...
