For Dyspareunia "My OB-Gyn prescribed Intrarosa because my blood panel showed that I had a very low testosterone level due to being post-menopausal. My doctor claimed that this drug should be able to help me with my post-menopausal symptoms. I had reported having a low libido, weight gain, tiredness, mild depression, and anxiety. He told me that it would take 3-4 weeks to see any changes and/or effects being produced by this drug. I found that after a month of taking Intrarosa, I was even more exhausted than before. My libido didn't increase one bit, I gained ten pounds, and my depression and anxiety were exacerbated. I hope this drug has been able to help others. It did not help me."

For Dyspareunia "Losing my sex drive was like losing a part of my personality. I was on estradiol, progesterone plus a compounded testosterone/estrogen cream. Better menopause symptoms (mood, brain fog), but desire was low and sex increasingly painful and stressful. One week on Intrarosa, and I jumped my husband and enjoyed a ridiculous number of orgasms. I’m BACK! My husband is planning on sending flowers to my OB-GYN."

For Dyspareunia "I have been using Intrarosa for 3 days and have been feeling listless, depressed, and anxious. I have anxiety, so don't think this medicine is for me. Had a full hysterectomy 5 years ago, and sex hurts. I tossed the box and am still searching for something that works."

For Dyspareunia "Started using Intrarosa for vaginal dryness, and after a few days, began having some pretty serious anxiety issues and high blood pressure. Never put it together that Intrarosa could be the culprit until now. Stopped using it two days ago, and blood pressure is back to normal and anxious feelings are gone. So glad I found others that had the same issue, and it isn't just me. Will stick with the Monalisa touch and natural lubricants from now on."
