I never knew sildenafil (marketed as viagra) acted as an antidepressant too, lol

  Yep that was the first one i slapped my forehead at missing, because I actually knew what it was but figured it must ALSO be a tolkien character since I was sure it wasn't an antidepressant.

  Now I'm thinking of an elf named Sildenafil.

    Sire of Erecthelion, who slew Gothmog the High Captain of the Balrogs at the battle of Gondolin.

      if I saw Erecthelion, I might have clicked on Tolkien...!

  It's a curious link that they made. Many antidepressants can cause performance issues, which can be a big deal for a lot of people. Using sildenafil with it can restore that part of the vitality.

    It is definitely not used for depression in humans, though.
