Re: sex drive and oxytocin (a)

[Guest guest]

My vet gave oxytoxin to help a ewe who had a bad delivery let down her

milk, then he sold me the bottle so I would have it on hand if needed.

It was prescribed for me by Dr. Flechas in Henersonville, NC for the

problems with blood pressure which often go with CFS. I had periods where

my blood pressure dropped and I felt nauseated, dizzy and weak. The oxytocin

raises bp and helps this. It definitely helps sex drive in a subtle way.

Some doctors prescribe it as shots but it is available in pill form. One

needs to have adequate DHEA levels for the oxytocin to work so you may need

to take both. I know Dr. Lapp in Charlotte and Dr. Teitlebaum in polis

prescribe it,but otherwise most doctors are not familiar with it.
