Analyze Paxil
In order to properly analyze the drug known as Paxil, one must give prudent consideration to a number of factors. The first of these, of course, is the fact that by the very definition of this narcotic, it is a mind altering substance that is able to readily induce changes in one's brain or psychological state that often time have effects upon the physical body as well. Additionally, it should be noted that the very nature of this particular narcotic is quite different from other narcotics, in particular those which are used for recreational purposes -- namely mind altering substances such as alcohol and marijuana. It is quite possible for users to view occasions to engage in either of these substances as opportunities for fun and pleasure, particularly marijuana. However, although there may be medicinal purposes of marijuana, Paxil is used nearly exclusively for such curative purposes, and almost never for the sake of the sensation of pleasure that it produces. To that extent, it may be contrasted with recreational mind altering substances such as marijuana -- and even harder drugs such as cocaine or heroin that, while eventually becoming addictive and engendering a physical dependency for the user, initially produce feelings that can be considered fun...
Most of these issues include depression, posttraumatic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or marked social anxiety.
What is truly interesting about this aspect of Paxil is that certain recreational drugs, among them marijuana, may be employed for curative effects for these same issues -- though it should be noted that the degree of these issues is oftentimes considerably less severe than the clinical form of say, depression or social anxiety. However, the number of people that utilize marijuana for recreation and not for any palpably discernible medical purposes greatly exceeds the number of people that claim to do so for Paxil. Moreover, there is an incidence of the formation of a habitual use that is oftentimes associated with Paxil, which manifests itself in highly difficult withdrawal symptoms, that does not exist with marijuana, as the following quotation suitably demonstrates.
Marijuana does not produce addiction, as do alcohol and the opiate drugs; there is no withdrawal symptoms and no ineradicable craving for the drug…The drug is used occasionally for the pleasure the user finds in it, a relatively casual kind of behavior in comparison with that connected with the use of addicting drugs (Becker 1953, 235).
Unfortunately, although it may not be quite be termed as pejoratively as to be called an "addicting drug," there is quite a…

Interactions: the patient had informed me about his medical history and his psychological state so as to compensate and recommend the best possible drug dosage. Nursing implications: This drug has mild side effects. However, the patient was still advised to consult me if any unusual problems occurred. Client Implications: the eye irritation caused by swimming had been completely cured. Patient Education: the patient had been instructed to ensure regularity in all his appointments 9.
Pharmacology: Moclobemide Moclobemide is classified as an antidepressant, a MAO (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor. Antidepressants are designed to inhibit the reuptake or reabsorbtion of specific neurotransmitters, increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters around the nerves of the brain (Gbemudu, 2011:1). Neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) are often called 'feel good' chemicals that elevate the patient's mood. Drug class A deficit of mood-enhancing chemicals is associated with depression, although there is no
Pharmacology DVT: In the legs, there are two kinds of veins, namely, deep and superficial. The deep veins pass through the middle of the leg, enclosed by the muscles. A blood clot or thrombus that crops up in the deep veins of the leg is called a Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT. Blood clot, and hence DVT, can arise due to slowing down or stoppage of blood or due to damage of
Pharmacology of Beta Lactam Antibiotics Beta Lactam Antibiotics This class of antibiotic agents, including penicillin derivatives, (penams), cephalosporins (cephems), monobactams, and carbapenems, is the most widely used antibiotic. In fact, more than half of the antibiotics that were commercially sold in 2003 were ?-lactam compounds. Beta lactam antibiotics are characterized by a molecular ?-lactam ring structure (Drawz & Bonomo, 2010). The beta lactam antibiotics inhibit the biosynthesis of the cell walls of
Nevertheless, an unscheduled PT test performed in the ER during her second visit provided markedly different results indicating a prolonged coagulation time despite no known changes to the patient's medication regimen or diet. As a result of the results of the PT test performed in the ER, her physician lowered her daily dosage of Coumadin to 2 milligrams per day, with instructions to repeat PT testing weekly for the time
Pharmacology for Nurses Pharmacology, the study of drugs and their effects on the human body, is a critical component of nursing education and practice. Nurses must have a sound understanding of pharmacology to safely administer medications and monitor their effects on patients. This foundation allows nurses to play a pivotal role in medication management and patient education (Burchum & Rosenthal, 2021). Knowledge of pharmacology enables nurses to understand why certain medications
