Even though Viagra is not technically for women, 72 percent of depressed women who took it noticed an improvement in their sex lives, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association

Sexual dysfunction is a common side effect of antidepressants and a major reason why people stop taking medication for their depression. But the most effective drugs used to combat sexual dysfunction in men are not approved for use in women. So researchers at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine decided to test Viagra on 98 women whose depression was in remission but who were still experiencing sexual dysfunction, such as lack of arousal or pain during sex. A whopping 72 percent of women noticed an improvement.
