Popular Drugs for Premature Ejaculation
We of the 21st century are definitely lucky to be alive at a time when advances in medical science and technology have made it possible to not only extend our general lifespan, but also to make that life much more liveable by providing relief and healing to many of the illnesses and diseases that proved intractable and devastating in centuries past.
On the market today are literally thousands upon thousands of drugs and remedies for many of the curable diseases and illnesses.
This is great but may not always be all that great when you're in a position where you have to sift through hundreds of treatment options, all of which, at the strength of their own word, promise superb results.
It can get overwhelming and even paralyzing! Premature ejaculation (PE) treatment options are no exception; they are as diverse as they come.
Let alone all other PE treatment approaches like sexual therapy and information products, the number of drugs used for treating PE alone can be dizzying and easy to entangle some searching soul in a morass of "analysis paralysis.
" In an attempt to help you escape this wearying web, I've written this article to offer a review of the more popular drugs men use in an attempt to mitigate and treat PE.
Well, here they are in broad strokes: The Antidepressants Zoloft, Paxil and Prozac Weird as it may seem, yes, these antidepressants are used by men to "treat" premature ejaculation- even prescribed by doctors to that end! They are from a family of drugs collectively referred to as SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) which generally work to relieve depression by making the natural brain chemical serotonin (associated with feelings of well-being and happiness) more available in the little gaps called synapses located between the neurons in the brain.
By some not fully understood mechanism, by messing with the chemistry of the brain like this, these drugs also end up having a huge effect on the parts of the brain responsible for sexual arousal, to the extent that they can be used to delay ejaculation.
All of these have been reported to have more or less the same adverse side effects to the men who consume them.
There're many but the most noted ones include dizziness, weight gain, headaches, total loss of libido, impotence, insomnia and thoughts of suicide.
It's important to consult your doctor before you begin taking any of these drugs.
Priligy Review Marketed under the brand name Priligy, dapoxetine is actually the only drug on the market that has been approved specifically for treating PE- although the approval is in just a few countries, the US excluded.
Dapoxetine is also a SSRI, though its makers prefer to market it as a "short-acting SSRi".
Its marketers also claim that it can prolong the time it takes to reach orgasm by a factor of two to four when taken an hour to two before sex.
Priligy is certainly an old drug on the shelves of drug-approving agencies (pending for approval in US's FDA for 6 years now), but it is still a relatively new drug on the market and not much is know about it by the general public really! But being a SSRI, it's not an exaggeration to say that most of the negative side effects associated with SSRIs are probable and to be expected.
Homeopathic Medicine Homeopathic medications are remedies offered based on a philosophy known as homeopathy, which interprets diseases and sickness as being caused by disturbances in a hypothetical "vital force" or "life force.
" The philosophy sees these disturbances as showing themselves up as unique symptoms taking the face of a disease.
Those who practice homeopathy prepare extremely diluted solutions of medications to treat different maladies and conditions, including PE.
This practice has aroused a deluge of criticism as being nothing more than mere quackery.
Truth be told, as popular as they've grown, these medications are probably not at all effective.
In 2010, an inquiry into the evidence-base for homeopathy conducted by the United Kingdom's House of Commons Science and Technology Committee concluded that "homeopathy is no more effective than a placebo is...
" It's all big-hat-no-cattle with these ones! Final Thoughts For those that are the least bit effective, drugs are great as what I like to call "emergency tactics"- they can help you add few extra minutes tonight, but do not necessarily cure the problem.
To tackle the problem from the recesses of its being, it's really going to take a little more than just drugs.
And given all the potential side effects that come with them, I'd say it's safer and wiser to at least check out other more effective and convenient treatment approaches available on the market today before deciding to go with drugs.
