Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the dose of Maca Root effective for the treatment
of antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction in patients with DSM-IV defined Major Depressive
Disorder. We propose to carry out a dose-finding pilot study to determine the minimum
effective dose of Maca Root. We hypothesize that patients who receive Maca Root will
experience alleviation of their sexual dysfunction, and this effect will be more pronounced
in those who receive higher doses of maca root.
