A drug that turned around the sex lives of some older men has apparently proven in a small trial to also help women on antidepressants who experience sexual dysfunction, and EmpowHer.com’s sexual health expert Dr. Irwin Goldstein, director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego, is front and center discussing the issue. His comments are featured in the following publications today: “The Los Angeles Times,” and WebMD.

Goldstein said in one of the publications while he uses Viagra on some of his female patients, it doesn’t work for everyone.

According to HealthDay, selective and nonselective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, such as Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft and Effexor, comprise up to 90 percent of the 180 million antidepressant prescriptions filled in the United States each year, according to the study. But while these medications are very effective at treating clinical depression, one of their known drawbacks are sexual side effects.
