Question 5

could monoamine oxidase increase be a solution for psychosis? if so how could i enhance it naturally?

Accepted Answer

Plz see psychiatrist: Combining this question together with your earlier one about dopamine, it sounds like you're interested in helping yourself (or someone you know) with psychosis -- but maybe trying to do this on your own?  A psychiatrist is trained to help by assessing clinical situation, suggesting further  diagnostic studies, & prescribing medications and/or other treatments -- as well as adjusting as needed.

Question 6

what is the definition or description of: monoamine oxidase?

Accepted Answer

See below: L-monoamine oxidases (MAO) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of monoamines. They are found bound to the outer membrane of mitochondria in most cell types in the body. The enzyme was originally discovered by mary bernheim in the liver and was named tyramine oxidase. They belong to the protein family of flavin-containing amine oxidoreductases..

Question 7

can i take ciprofloxacin with singulair, xyzal and mucinex? being treated for allergies but also detected bacteria infection. seems like a lot of meds

Accepted Answer

Yes you can : take them all at the same time, no interaction between any of them, good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications, best wishes

Question 8

my 4 year old takes zyrtec 1 tsp and singulair 4mg every night. she got a couple mosquito bites yesterday and they are swollen. can she have a dose of benadryl also tonight? her left eye has also been watering for several days even with both allergy meds.

Accepted Answer

Single dose: it is in the same class but a single dose of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is ok tonight . For the eyes you may try over the counter Zaditor eye drops .

Question 9

im having an allergy attack. i'm already prescribed zyrtec and singulair and still can't stop sneezing. can i take benadryl with these 2 meds and go to bed ?

Accepted Answer

Allergy meds: Yes  -  there should be no reaction with the singulair and maybe a slight reaction (increased somnolence)the the zyrtec but since you are heading to bed that isn't an issue.    You might want to double the dose of Zyrtec going forward as the 20 mg dose was actually better when the drug was being developed.

Question 10

hi. my 16 yr old daughter  was put on zyrtec & singulair .she stopped meds for allergy testing & has stomach pain, headache  & weakness.is this usual?

Accepted Answer

This is not usual: Unless the medications were controlling the symptoms from a food allergy, I believe it is more likely from a viral infection or food poisoning.
