Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amoxapine (Asendin) is a tricyclic antidepressant that has been used in the treatment of female sexual aversion disorder. It has been found to increase sexual interest and pleasure in some individuals. Phenelzine (Nardil) is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor and may have potential side effects that could interfere with sexual function. Quetiapine (Seroquel) and carbamazepine (Tegretol) are antipsychotics and anticonvulsants, respectively, and are not typically used in the treatment of female sexual aversion disorder.
