Odd. Most antidepressants have the opposite effect. They list loss of sexual interest as a side effect.

Women who took the drug flibanserin when it was being tested as an anti-depressant said it didn't help them beat the glums, but did give them "an increase in libido that they liked,"

For men - that would be a successful test.

Does this strike anyone else as .... lets put out a drug, see what it does and then market it accordingly? Seems a tad scary to me that you shoot at one target, miss and then move the bullseye.

I wonder how it works on post-menopausal women.

“said it didn’t help them beat the glums, but did give them “an increase in libido that they liked,” John Thorp, one of the investigators analyzing data from three clinical trials of the drug, told AFP.”

Anybody else notice that it’s always MEN finding this stuff?

My company has been working on this for several years. I’ve actually participated in the manufacturing process.

Maybe this can be used by working conservatives who only have 1-2 kids to help even up the odds for future generations.

The real question is - how do I slip this into my wife’s margaritas?

[mlizzy]

Married ladies ... if you want a rockin' Viagra in "natural" form, dump the chemicals and try this ... :)

And for the men, there is this, however, I can't attest to its success.

“..... it didn’t help them beat the glums, but did give them “an increase in libido that they liked...... “

Perhaps it’s because I’m a guy, but I don’t see that as a failure. LOL

[Albion Wilde]

Why is this topic on FR?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Except that Viagra does not increase libido. If it did, well....I won’t go there.

[sinatorhellary]

"could be the female answer to the little blue pill Viagra"

It gives them a headache?

[RatRipper]

Sounds like this drug could do wonders for this old guy’s depression . . . :)

[Mercat]

Great. Just what we need - depressed horny women.

[Pessimist]

Am I the only one bothered by using drugs for other puposes just because they noticed they seemed to work?

What does that say about their understanding of the mechanism by which the drug works?

[Palladin]

I hear that chocolate works better and has fewer side effects.

[Titan Magroyne]

Hmmmmmmmm, not out on the market. Yet.

Good thread for the serious comments, tho. I didn’t know about the newer psychoactive drugs...
