Summary

This is a three-center, randomized, double-blind, fixed dose study designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a switch to vilazodone for sexual dysfunction associated with use of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI)compared to switching to sertraline in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

Vilazodone is a newly introduced, FDA approved antidepressant that is a combined serotonin specific reuptake inhibitor and serotonin 1A receptor partial agonist. In contrast to the SSRIs and SNRIs, appears to have low adverse effects on sexual functioning when compared to placebo.
