This is a drug that failed (I think 4 times) to get FDA approval as an anti-depressant because it didn’t work (and, do any of them?). It was put in a pretty new package and sold as something else so Sprout could make money on it. The FDA will approve anything now days.
And, psychiatric drugs can cause reduced libido but psychiatry and the drug companies can’t point that out. They just hand out another pill to reduce another symptom their pills cause.It’s amazing how ignorant the population is about the real stories, effectiveness and harms that drug companies are causing. Most still believe that “Mental illness” is real with biological components (chemical imbalance). It’s so much easier than handling the truths.
