Study Summary

Sexual dysfunction is a common side effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). The hypotheses of this study are that:1. subjects with major depression or dysthymia who are being treated with an SSRI and experiencing treatment-related sexual dysfunction will experience less sexual dysfunction if they are switched to duloxetine, and 2. they will experience either improved antidepressant response or no loss of antidepressant response.

Primary Outcome

The GCI-I score is a global clinical impression score regarding a patient's symptom severity change rated by the treating clinician. The score can be 0 (not assessed), 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse) or 7 (very much worse). In this study clinicians made ratings based on interviewing the patient and reviewing the patient's self ratings on the the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX). No formal cut point score
