OUTLINE: This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, crossover, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to antidepressant medication use (yes vs no), age (under 50 vs 50 to 60 vs 61 to 70 vs over 70), tamoxifen or other selective estrogen receptor modulator use (yes vs no), and ovarian status (in place [natural menopause or hysterectomy] vs not in place [bilateral oophorectomy]). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
