Article Abstract

Letter to the Editor

Sir: I noted with great interest the study by Nafziger et al. (March 1999 issue) entitled "Incidence of Sexual Dysfunction in Healthy Volunteers on Fluvoxamine Therapy." This study’s premise is timely and its results could potentially be of significant clinical impact given the sheer number of newer anxiolytics and antidepressants currently being used in practice. It was an interesting article, but I identified a few problems I had with this study.
