Antidepressant Prescriptions Soar but Do They Really Work?
April 30, 2008
IMS Health, a market research firm, named antidepressants the most widely prescribed drugs in the U.S. with near 258 million prescriptions to 30 million patients in 2007. This arouses hot arguments on whether the number of people with depression has increased or whether the drug is simply overprescribed.
Antidepressants are a very effective medication for people with severe mental problems, but in case they are marketed too aggressively they might be used as a quick fix for even a slightest emotional difficulty.
Although they are no magical cure for all diseases, antidepressants remain among the best selling drugs with $12 billion dollar sales last year. Because of the increase in the use of this type of medications several research agencies decided to test their effectiveness.
According to British researchers who analyzed the data of 35 clinical trials of Prozac, Serzone, Paxil and Effexor, antidepressants only work for people with severe forms of depression. As for those with mild emotional problems, the effect of the drugs equals to that of placebo. The bottom-line is that many people taking antidepressants don’t really need them.
However another study financed by the National Institute of Mental Health showed that taking more than one antidepressant or switching to a different medication in case the previous one didn’t work can effectively treat chronic depressions. (more…)

Effexor Xr or Venlafaxine
December 2, 2007
Drug Uses
Effexor XR is a potent inhibitor of the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine-two neurotransmitters thought to play important roles in the pathophysiology of depression. Correcting the imbalance of these two chemicals may help relieve symptoms of depression.
How Taken
Effexor XR comes as a capsule to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day and should be taken with food. Each capsule should be swallowed whole with fluid and not divided, crushed, chewed, or placed in water, or it may be administered by carefully opening the capsule and sprinkling the entire contents on a spoonful of applesauce. This drug/food mixture should be swallowed immediately without chewing and followed with a glass of water to ensure complete swallowing of the pellets. –>> Buy Efferox
Paxil or Paroxetine
November 30, 2007
Drug Uses
Paxil is an agent in a newer class of antidepressant medication known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
Depression and anxiety disorders might be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. One of these chemicals is serotonin, which helps send electrical signals from one nerve cell to another. In the process, serotonin is released from one nerve cell (the sender) and travels to the next (the receiver), where it is either absorbed or returns back to the original sender cell.

How Taken
Paxil comes as a tablet to take it orally. It is usually taken once daily and may be taken with or without food. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Continue to take Paxil even if you feel well. (more…)
