title: 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.
