title: Psychiatric drugs and inhibited female orgasm.
abstract: The available evidence concerning sexual side effects of psychiatric drugs suggests that inhibited female orgasm may be associated with the use of hetereocyclic antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, benzodiazepines, and neuroleptics. Possible mechanisms of action including anticholinergic, alpha adrenergic blockade, and serotonergic effects are discussed.
