Viagra May Help Women on Antidepressants

A new study suggests that women on antidepressants may benefit from taking Viagra. The results of a study on 98 premenopausal women found that Viagra helped with orgasm. But the benefits did not extend to other aspects of sex, such as desire, researchers reported in The Journal of the American Medical Association.
"For women on antidepressants with orgasm problems, this may provide some wonderful relief," said psychologist Stanley Althof, director of the Center for Marital and Sexual Health of South Florida in West Palm Beach, who was not involved in the study. "But it will not improve their desire or arousal."
Antidepressants can interfere with sex drive and performance in more than 50% of people that take them. This is especially true for people taking selective seretonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's) such as Paxil, Prozac, and Celexa. Many stop taking antidepressants because of their sexual side-effects.
While 72% of the women in the study taking Viagra reported improvement on an overall scale, only 27% of those taking the placebo reported improvement.
