"Why I stopped taking this medicine: 1) didn't increase my sexual desires/thoughts 2) within 30-45 minutes of taking it, I would feel extremely drowsy for 1-2 weeks, to the point where I couldn't hardly function. If I was sitting, I would fall asleep where I sat. My husband would wake me up to go to bed, and I would feel out of it, like I was drunk. 3) While it acted like a sleeping pill for me shortly after I took it, I would always wake up between 4-5 hours after taking it and be up the rest of the night. This lasted the first 2-3 weeks. 4) The straw that broke the camel's back was around week 3-4 when I started to get so upset/angry over the smallest issues, I felt more like the Hulk than anything."

"I was a HUGE skeptic but my lack of libido was threatening my marriage. I love my husband enough to give it a go. Within 3 weeks, I was astonished. I forgot, literally forgot what it felt like to get horny and only started to remember after Addyi! This medication works!!!!! I now am convinced I had hypoactive sexual desire. Despite loving my husband, I dreaded sex. Now I enjoy it again and feel the desire that was so lacking. I am a big fan of this medication. I highly recommend it. It's worth a shot if it works as well for you as it's working for me."

"I've been on Addyi now for 4 weeks and it is working for me! I've gone from that dread every time my husband wanted sex to a great desire for him. I'm finding that when I think of sex, which I often do now I'm on Addyi, I get a tingling feeling in my libido. We went from sex twice a year to a few times a week and it's getting better. It has also helped with my depression. The plus is better lubrication and multiple big O's. I only had nausea the first day. I normally have high blood pressure but Addyi brought my blood pressure down to normal, so I don't have to take blood pressure medication now. Good luck, ladies, and don't get discouraged because of the media, they don't know what the outcome is because it's new."
