Yes, the point of the medication was originally for treating men's erectile dysfunction, but now we're seeing studies done on how viagra is helping women as well. Now, I may be a bit naive, but are there any women out there with a serious erectile dysfunction problem?

It's not going to necessarily make you feel more romantic or amourous, but you may feel more inclined to let out several Tim Allen-esque primal grunt, your brow may begin to furl quite a bit, you may start stooping over some, and you may even grow some hair on your back once the stuff starts kicking in (45 minutes or so). Well, okay, you may not go totally caveman, but the stuff definitely pushes some psychological, maybe instinctual, buttons besides getting the pumps back in working order.

Anon and others, I agree that we need to tell our psych docs if we have sexual side effects to AD's. Otherwise not only do we suffer in silence but others do also. Having had sexual side effects from Prozac, Zoloft, and Luvox, I understand the embarrassment but found when I talked with my psych doc, we both became unembarrassed about talking about it and it wasn't any big deal (just like talking about nausea or headaches or constipation or something). If the libido-enhancers suggested on this board don't help (Viagra, Wellbutrin, yohimbe, etc.), you might want to ask about changing AD's as I found that is what finally worked for me (Serzone and Effexor didn't interfere with sex for me). Good luck and I hope this post isn't duplicated as I have had trouble with duplicating my posts somehow recently.--Cindy
