Addyi (flibanserin) "I have been taking Addyi for two weeks and so far, no change in sex drive. I’m athletic and healthy. I typically have a low resting heart rate. Addyi has raised my resting heart rate and makes me wake up after 4-5 hours of sleep. Once I’m awake, I cannot fall back asleep. Initially, it does make me drowsy enough to fall asleep. I have not noticed any other side effects at this time. I’m unsure if I will continue use, due to lack of sleep from taking this."

Addyi (flibanserin) "So I know it’s a way early review of this medication but if this 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 right side of 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 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."

Addyi (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"

Addyi (flibanserin) "Please read I took Addy for a week. It done nothing for me other than made me sleep at night & during the day & 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 Addy."

Addyi (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 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."

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