I'm sorry, but I have to object to some of the medical misinformation. I'm an internist myself, and probably 10-20% of my practice is for depression. The SSRI antidepressants do have the side effects of anorgasmia and decreased libido. I have noted both occurring in my practice (you have to ask, the patient rarely mentions it spontaneously). Viagra is indicated for Erectile Dysfunction and will have no effect in the absence of sexual arousal. Viagra works on the vascular level. Blood flow. Decreased libido and anorgasmia are nervous system problems. While I agree you cannot separate the mind and body, particularly in sexual dysfunction, my greatest number of complaints about decreased libido and anorgasmia come from women on SSRI's and I also believe there are more women treated with SSRI's then men. Viagra is not indicated for women. There will be a big market for this drug, but I think it is improper for anyone with a license to practice medicine to talk about off-label uses for a drug that has yet to be distributed. Not my viewpoint as an investor, my viewpoint as a physician. Zebra

<< I agree that Viagra may be a huge help to the many people who have SSRI antidepressant side effects of anorgasmia >> How is a remedy for ED going to help with anorgasmia? You're confusing erections with orgasms.
