If you're a woman who's experiencing orgasm delay, low libido, or lack of lubrication as a result of antidepressant use, you may be interested in the results of a recent study reported in the July issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Ninety-eight women with sexual disorders associated with antidepressant use were randomly assigned to take viagra or a placebo about one to two hours before sexual activity. 73% of the women taking the placebo reported no improvement in sexual response whereas only 28% of the viagra group saw no improvement.
This is important because sexual impairment is a leading reason for non-compliance with prescribed antidepressant treatment. People should not have to choose between depression and an impaired sex life. If your antidepressant is creating havoc with your sexual functioning, talk to your doctor before discontinuing treatment. You may be able to have your cake and eat it, too.
