Female and male libido
Are the brain chemicals or hormones that influence female libido similar to the ones in men?
   Yes, testosterone stimulates libido in men and women. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that has a similar influence in both sexes. Nitric oxide dilates blood vessels in both sexes. There are more similarities in libido arousal in men and women than there are differences. That is why an effective libido enhancing product such as Passion Rx works in men and women.

How to increase male libido
Q. How do I increase my libido? I have a lack of libido from taking antihypertensive medications. I take a beta blocker.
   A. To increase libido, get a deep sleep, eat more vegetables and fish, exercise moderately, lead a low stress life, take vacations to warm climates near an ocean, involve yourself with erotica and try to meet someone who strongly appeals to you. Also, if you lose weight and eat more vegetables and fish, your blood pressure may naturally come down and hence you could perhaps need less of medicine that is causing the lack of libido. Most likely the cause of low libido in your case is the blood pressure medicine. Your doctor may switch medicines to one that does not influence libido as much. Beta blockers are known to inhibit sexuality and they can cause impotence.

Herbal female libido enhancers
Q. Are herbal libido enhancers safe?
   A. Most of them are very safe. Certain libido enhancers such as yohimbe and tongkat ali should be taken in low doses since they have side effects. It is better to take these herbs in low dosages and be patient rather than take too many pills at one time.

Q. My doctor told me that I need testosterone to boost my libido ever since I've had my ovaries removed. Do you think herbs can restore female libido without resorting to hormones? I really don't want to take testosterone.
   A. Most doctors don't realize that there certain natural herbs are female libido enhancers as much as the hormones, and often much safer. Your doctor may also recommend the temporary use of a natural over the counter hormone called DHEA. But you have to be cautious with DHEA hormone, also, since it has side effects.

Q. Would you consider Viagra and Levitra libido boosters?

Hormones, such as testosterone and DHEA, have a major influence in libido enhancement. Tongkat ali is a libido herb used in Southeast Asia and it is a potent libido enhancer but has to be used in low dosages since side effects include increased body temperature, restlessness, and insomnia.

Herbal libido enhancer side effects
Most libido enhancer herbs have mild to moderate heart stimulating properties and are therefore not advised for those who have a heart or cardiovascular medical problem or are taking heart medicines.

Those with heart problems should rather focus on diet and natural, non-herbal ways to enhance libido.

Low Libido due to Medical conditions
Certain medical conditions lead to low libido  -- or complete loss of libido --  poor performance, or decreased enjoyment. These include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, neurological disorders, and insomnia.

Drugs that cause low Libido
Drugs that cause low libido include certain medication used to lower blood pressure, SSRI type drugs used for depression, sedatives, sleeping pills, and beta-blockers. Alcohol's negative affect on libido increases with age. Smoking can reduce genital blood flow. Finasteride, a drug used to treat enlarged prostate and to stimulate hair growth (Proscar and Propecia), may decrease libido, and in some individuals cause impotence and ejaculatory dysfunction.

   A. Propecia use does lead to side effects including low libido. Tribulus terrestris does improve libido. Not enough human studies are available to determine the influence of tribulus terrestris on testosterone and whether or not it has an effect on hair loss or growth. Another option is Passion Rx which many people report increases libido in those who have taken or taking Propecia.

Finasteride ( Proscar, Propecia ) cause low libido
Male sexual dysfunction such as impotence, loss or low libido or sexual interest, and ejaculation disorders have been consistent side effects of finasteride use. Finasteride is used for hair growth as Propecia, and for the treatment of prostate enlargement in the form of Proscar which has 5 mg of the drug. Propeica has 1 mg of finasteride and causes less frequent sexual side effects. Avodart is also another drug used for hair loss and prostate enlargement which is known to cause low libido.

SSRI drugs
SSRI drugs such as Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft are a common cause of low libido in men and women due to elevation of serotonin levels. Serotonin has an inhibitory effect on sexual urge and desire.

High blood pressure medications cause loss of libido

   Atypical antipsychotics can provide improvement in schizophrenic symptoms but also may cause side effects, such as erectile dysfunction and decreased libido. In order to keep patients symptomatically stable and to help alleviate these side effects, doctors should alter the treatment strategy, possibly by switching medications.

Testosterone treatment for to increase libido
In men who are older and have low testosterone levels, replacement with this androgen does increase libido. However, testosterone should be used for a brief period of time and only in low dosages to prevent androgenic side effects.

Men who prefer not to use testosterone or hormones often do quite well taking natural herbal supplements that can easily increase libido. Some of these herbal aphrodisiacs are mentioned at the top of the page and are found in Passion Rx.

Passion Rx can enhance libido but it may be more difficult since there is always the inhibition going on from the SSRI drug.

If you find you are having trouble sleeping, reduce the frequency of use of Passion Rx.

Would you think 5 mg it is a good dose to start?

Once you learn how each one influences your sex drive, then you may combined them but in low dosages. Passion Rx is potent and it is not necessary to take it with other herbal boosting supplements.
