No doubt everyone has heard of the death of actor Heath Ledger, who overdosed on a cocktail of medications.

He is not alone - not even close. In 1983, 92 people died in their homes from mixing prescription pills with alcohol or street drugs. That number spiked to 3,792 in 2004 - an increase of 3200 percent.

Some medications that are given to people who are suffering from anxiety are from the family of medication called benzodiazepines, though they are sometimes prescribed to help people who have difficulty getting to sleep, to help control seizures and to help patients who are working to become less dependent on alcohol. The purpose of this medication is to calm a person enough so that they can relax. What happens is that the benzodiazepine medication reduces the activity in some parts of the brain, and this is what causes a person to calm down and relax.

All kidding and spam aside...does anyone's sexual partner use viagra or similar medication? Is this drug just for ED or can it also be used to increase male libido?

I'm curious about the actual use of this drug, since we are bombarded with TV ads and email spam. I've also heard there are some side effects that can be unhealthy or dangerous to the man's health.

Thanks (in advance) for sharing...I know this is a sensitive topic and personal question!
