Prozac and Alcohol

Prozac

Prozac is known as effective treatment for panic disorder, bulimia nervosa, major depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It was invented in 1974. Prozac has been sold in the market since December 1987. It is now famously known as one best nerve relaxer medicine in the U.S. To understand Prozac’s use it is better to understand the current raising issues among people. People in this era are tied to certain condition that delivers them to be constantly panic and bothered. They cannot relax themselves. The cause of this problem may be huge stress. Stress leads people to condition where they keep feeling nervous and aware. Sadly people then tend to barely take a rest or sleeping. Lack of rest plus tons of workload with major economic and other depression will put people to disorder. Prozac and alcohol then reduces this panic effect and helps people to relax and sleep. It also boosts people’s capability in handling panic to stay calm.

Apart from panic and stress things Prozac in fact is very useful for those who are addicted to alcohol. It is not time to argue that people can stand without alcohol. Here is elaboration about Prozac and alcohol relation. Basically alcohol increases tendency to relax but in between-good-and-bad way. The more people alcohol the bigger chance they become unconscious therefore those who are drunk cannot take care of themselves because they lose their consciousness. Scientifically speaking Prozac is formed with same basic formulation as alcohol. That is why when alcoholic takes Prozac (s) he becomes slowly-but-sure sober. This is considered as big favor for addicted people. No wonder Prozac has been sold over 24.4 million prescriptions in the U.S only. With Prozac people may complete all duties and compulsories and responsibilities as well on time without getting drunk. This also shows us that people’s dependency to Prozac and alcohol gets worse day by day. There is a serious consideration about this since people cannot rely on medication forever.

Medication either it is natural or chemical has always side effects, no exceptions. Prozac and alcohol usefulness turns out as men disadvantage. Before jumping to that let’s make sure everybody is on the same page. Men usually addicted to alcohol. It means men take Prozac to cut the alcohol dependency. But unfortunately there is a bit holes for this cooperation. Prozac and alcohol side effects in men are sexual problems. Those problems are libido reduction, ejaculation disability, impotence, and painful erection. Libido reduction can be explained as the lack of sex drive willing. Ejaculation disability makes men can’t reach orgasm though for premature ejaculation patient Prozac is still a help. Impotence is a long term side effect so it means it is a little bit avoidable by minimizing Prozac dosage. And painful erection is already clear yet still hurts. That is why if you are having plans to build a family it is not recommended to take Prozac; take other anti depresses medication with good dosage. And for those who think it is better to be alcoholic than losing your lover, you are suggested to have a rehab immediately.
