I wouldn't really believe it when they say that cymbalta has reduced sexual dysfunction.
They have to say this. Seeing as it is another me too drug, people want to think that it is an improvement on previous drugs.
As far as side effects go, sexual dysfunction is the biggest one in terms of patient compliance so it only stands to reason that the drugs companies would over-emphasize the drug's supposed lack of side effects in this area.
Lexapro was supposed to have considerably fewer sexual side effects than celexa, is this the case? not really.
But I think it is pure bull gepirone was considered 'unaprovable' for anxiety/depression, and this drugs slips through the cracks. Gepirone was really a step forward.
