A Bupropiona melhora a recuperação da libido em mulheres que a perderam. Esta é mais uma descoberta da bupropiona, medicamento usado há longo tempo como antidepresivo. Recentemente foi relançada no mundo inteiro como um revolucionário auxiliar no tratamento do tabagismo (Zyban), relegando para segundo plano os produtos a base de nicootina..

O Dr. R. Taylor Segraves, um professor de psiquiatria University School of Medicine in Cleveland, descobriu que a bupropiona melhora as fantasias sexuais e recupera o interesse sexual em mulheres usuárias.

Bupropion May Treat Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in Women ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WASHINGTON (Reuters Health) Apr 19 - Bupropion use sparks increased sexual interest, arousal and fantasies in women, researchers said Wednesday.

In a small study, Dr. R. Taylor Segraves, a professor of psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, and colleagues used bupropion to treat women diagnosed with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, which is characterized by persistently diminished or absent sexual fantasies or desire for sexual activity.

Of the 51 women given 8 weeks of treatment with the drug in Cleveland, San Antonio and Philadelphia, almost a third experienced increases in the number of episodes of sexual arousal, sexual fantasy and interest in engaging in sexual activity, the researchers said. Their report appears in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy.

"We tried to screen so that we got women who had previously had normal libido and for unknown reasons had lost it — they had to be in good relationships, not depressed, not anxious, no drug abuse, no major medical problems, no drug side effects," Dr. Segraves said in an interview.

Dr. Segraves said he is planning another study involving more subjects and a longer period of treatment with the drug, which boosts levels of norepinephrine and dopamine. He pointed out that psychotherapy has proven to be minimally effective in treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder.

"If there are relationship problems or if somebody comes from a background that had fairly restrictive family values about sex, psychotherapy can help those people a lot," Dr. Segraves said. "But the group that presents a mysterious onset of problems in a good relationship, those are the ones that are murder to figure out. And that's who we're trying to target."
