How can the blue pill, which enables men to have a hard enough erection, help women?

One of the side effects of antidepressants is a decrease in sexual desire. (jlp)

Antidepressants drive out orgasm and kill sexual desire

Recent studies have shown that Viagra has beneficial effects on the sex life of women who are unable to experience orgasm due to antidepressants.

Taking antidepressants such as Prozac, Paxil, Celex and others considerably diminishes the quality of sex life for women because it leads to sexual dysfunction, in particular female orgasmic disorder.

Smaller doses of antidepressants or use of other drugs can mitigate the development of sexual dysfunction, but they don't treat it. Many people, both men and women, thus decide to discontinue the treatment with antidepressants, which improves the quality of their sexual life, but can again threaten their mental health and lead to the recurrence of depression.

Antidepressants have positive effects on the increase of serotonin in the brain, but on the other hand they stop the release of the other chemical in the brain, dopamine, due to which women are unable to achieve an orgasm, or at least need a lot of time to reach it.

Viagra improves sex life of depressed women

Owing to unwanted side effects of antidepressants, scientists conducted an exhaustive study in which they observed the effects of Viagra on experiencing orgasm.

The study, which lasted eight weeks, included 98 women before menopause, their average age being 37 years. In treatment with antidepressants, they all experienced side effects that affected their sex life. In the course of the study, they had to have sexual intercourse at least once a week and had to take Viagra before having intercourse. The results of the study were satisfactory because all 98 women reported an improvement in their sex life and being able to experience orgasm, while sexual desire and arousal remained the same.

Of course, Viagra, the magic blue pill, also has adverse side effects of its own, such as frequent headaches, flushing, peeling of the skin and so on, but it still outweighs the unwanted side effects of antidepressants. Improved sex life actually ensures that women continue the necessary treatment with antidepressants.
