Modifications of libido and sex drive during treatment of minor depression with viloxazine
Abstract
The effects of viloxazine hydrochloride on the libido and sex drive of 20 outpatients suffering from minor depression were assessed. For this purpose the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and a questionnaire devised by the authors to evaluate libido and sex drive were used. A dose of 300 mg viloxazine/day for 4 weeks was administered. Test-retest assessments showed a significant improvement of depression and an increase in libido and sex drive. These latter effects were marked, but did not appear to be related to the improvement of depression.
