"Horrible. I took my first pill last night and almost passed out. I was lightheaded, dizzy, had blurry vision, and was nauseous. What made that really bad is I have a 2-year-old that I could not tend to overnight. Horrible."

"So I’ve been struggling with low sex drive for a while. Seen this Addyi and decided to give it a try. Took one pill and woke up at 1 in the morning to my face swollen and numb. My body felt weak and had the worst migraine for two days. I read the side effects, but they only give you a few and not what you actually experienced. I don’t recommend this at all. It’s been two days and my face is still numb and broke out in pus-filled pockets."

"Please read. I took Addyi for a week. It did nothing for me other than make me sleep at night and during the day and run up my blood pressure. My normal blood pressure was 128/88. At the end of the week, I did not feel right, so I took my blood pressure again: 136/109. Everyone is different, but I had to quit taking Addyi."

"I reached out to my healthcare professional because of low sex drive and found I had a hormone imbalance. After some adjustments with medications, I was prescribed Addyi in June 2020, removed off my anti-depressants, and we were hoping that, combined with some testosterone cream, would help bring my drive back up to my normal. I took the pill for about 5 months, hoping the drunk feeling side effect after taking it would lessen (never did) and my libido would reach more normal for me levels. Although I ended up feeling my libido increase just a little, I then had a new problem: reaching completion without manual assistance, if you catch my drift. There was a 2-week window in December 2020 where my monthly supply of Addyi didn’t get delivered on time, and I completely ran out of pills. My experiences were much more pleasant and close to my norm during that window. Now I am wondering if my issues were related to these meds? Who knows, but I will probably stop taking Addyi and go back on anti-depressants instead."

"When I started taking Addyi, I noticed that it felt as if I was taking a high dose of melatonin (imagine taking 20 mg of melatonin every night). I noticed a positive change in my mood and woke up rested. By the fourth week, I started thinking about sex a lot, thinking about sex often and even pleasuring myself when alone. By week 5 is when I noticed that the pain in my chest was getting worse (it started at week 3, but I thought I had just been sleeping in a bad position). I got to the point where it felt like I was having a heart attack; it hurt so bad I could not pick up things from the floor; it even hurt to breathe. I started looking back and noticed that the awful hives that I had developed on both my forearms had appeared by week 2 and were only getting worse. I stopped taking it 3 days ago, and the chest tightness is gone, and the hives are clearing up already. This drug is very dangerous and not worth the risk!"

"Day one, it knocked me out within 30 min. I slept like I was sedated for 5 or 6 hours, then I was up for the rest of the night. Day two, it hit me even harder. I felt like I was drugged. I had a foggy brain, my limbs felt heavy like cement, and I couldn’t have stayed awake if I had tried. I was afraid I would pass out and fall and get hurt. I was scared to even walk to bed. I made sure that my 8-year-old knew how to call 911 if anything worse were to happen. I only took two doses. I won’t take any more. The side effects were too scary."

"I am 27 years old, and I started taking Addyi about 6 weeks ago. I have not noticed any difference at all from this medication. I was so excited to get this medication, and I had such high hopes it was going to work… no changes. Although, my HSDD might be from my anti-depressants."

"I only took this one night. I woke up this morning and have felt off (drowsy, maybe lightheaded). I can't really explain it, and I have abdominal pain. I will not take it again, it's too scary. It says abdominal pain needs to contact your doctor immediately, but it's Saturday, so I hope that not taking it again will help, and I will call my doctor Monday morning first thing. Not for me, I would rather just not want sex than feel like I do today."

"So I know it’s a way early review of this medication, but if this is how I’m gonna feel, I’m up for it. I’ve taken 1 pill so far, last night at bedtime. I couldn’t fall asleep, eventually did, and was out for a few hours. I did wake up and have sex with my other half and was shocked at how fast I got off, that has been a long time since sex has been that easy and good feeling. I have been taking forever to cum, get mad that I can’t, and give up. I’ve had a bit of a headache on the right side of my head, but I don’t know if it’s because I got off or something in this medication, but I’m open to seeing what it does. I have had energy all day and been in a happy mood. I haven’t felt like this in a very long time. Will see what happens in the coming weeks, as it says it’s like 4 weeks. Unsure if I’ll get negative effects like tiredness and nausea, will see and am going to update my review."

"I took Addyi a few years ago and had no problems, but it didn't help my sex drive either. Recently I thought I would try it again. The two times I took the pill, I had severe vomiting the night I took it. I will discontinue. (I had three glasses of wine four hours before taking it.)"

"Took this med, Addyi, for two nights and then woke up sick. It lowered my blood pressure, made me dizzy-headed, and I had to call in to work the 3rd day. I quit taking it."

"I had a lot of bad side effects from this drug. I took it for two days. I had breathing problems, it made me extremely dizzy, and it gave me panic attacks. I felt really weird."

"28 days in, and I have noticed no change in anything, including no change in interest in sex. My blood pressure seems too low throughout the day. I see no reason to continue the experiment."
