Flibanserin "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!"

Flibanserin "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 took this medication for 8 weeks. At about the first month, I felt that it might be helping. The feelings seemed to be trickling back. Weeks went by, and I wasn't sure that it really did much more after the first month. About a 1/2 hour, I had trouble getting thoughts together. While in bed, it felt like my heart was racing and/or skipping a beat. I was having heart palpitations. I've never had a problem with my heart before. Stopped. Also, for several days later - emotional mess. Not worth the side effects. I wished it could have helped, but it didn't do enough to outweigh the side effects -- and now it's nice to have a glass of wine or two and not worry about falling out."

Flibanserin "I've been taking Addyi for the past six months to treat my HSDD, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the start, I noticed a significant improvement in my desire and overall well-being. It's been such a relief to find a treatment that actually works and does so without causing any unwanted side effects. I feel like myself again, and it's been a game-changer in so many aspects of my life. One of the most profound changes has been in my relationship with my husband. Before Addyi, I often felt disconnected and frustrated, which took a toll on our intimacy and overall connection. Now, we are closer than ever, and our relationship feels more balanced and fulfilling. The renewed sense of intimacy has brought us even closer, and it's wonderful to see the positive impact it's had on our marriage. Overall, Addyi has exceeded my expectations in every way. It's been incredibly empowering to take control of my sexual health and to experience such a positive change."

Flibanserin "I started taking Addyi to address my HSDD, and I can confidently say it has made a significant difference in my life. From the moment I began the treatment, I noticed a gradual yet consistent improvement in my desire and overall mood. It's been refreshing to feel more connected to myself and my partner again. The change has brought a sense of balance and fulfillment that I had been missing for quite some time. One of the best aspects of my experience with Addyi is the absence of side effects. Before starting, I was concerned about potential adverse reactions, but I have not experienced any. This has allowed me to fully enjoy the benefits without the anxiety of dealing with unwanted symptoms. The medication has integrated seamlessly into my routine, and I appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing it’s working without causing discomfort. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the results Addyi has provided. It has genuinely improved my quality of life and my relationships."

Flibanserin "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."

Flibanserin "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."

Flibanserin "I heard about Addyi on a podcast a few months ago and decided to give it a try. Like others have said, it took a few days to notice the drug working, but once I felt it, I felt it! Now, this wasn't like I went from dormant to suddenly sex-crazed. It was more like I found myself wanting sex again. This is exciting!!"

Flibanserin "After dealing with HSDD for a while, I decided to try Addyi, and it has been a fantastic decision. The results have been remarkable; I’ve noticed a gradual but consistent improvement in my sexual desire. This medication has helped me feel more connected to my partner and has brought back a level of intimacy that I truly missed. What makes Addyi even better is that I haven’t experienced any side effects. I was concerned about potential issues, but my experience has been entirely positive. I’ve been able to enjoy the benefits without any drawbacks, which has made my journey with Addyi all the more satisfying."

Flibanserin "I had a partial hysterectomy two years ago at 42 years old. Afterward, my libido, which had been completely dead prior, came back full force. The desire was there, but no fulfillment. I was suffering from dryness and infrequent, weakened, absent orgasms. My gyn suggested Addyi at my one-year follow-up. I have taken the medication for two full months now. The only adverse side effect is I have noticed a small amount of acne during my ovulation period. The arousal is there. Dryness is gone. And orgasms are transcending. I never have to “get into the mood.” I am just always there. I highly recommend this medication for anyone suffering prematurely with any sort of sexual intimacy issues."

Flibanserin "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."

Flibanserin "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.)"
