For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "Within the first 2 hours of taking Addyi, my hands and feet went numb, shortness of breath, blood pressure drop was drastic. My body temperature dropped, and then the panic attack set in that lasted on and off for 4 hours. It felt like a severe hangover and food poisoning together. I would not recommend this medication to anyone!! Do your research!"

For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "Addyi started to work at about the third week of taking it, but that only lasted for about a week. I was told it works like an antidepressant and could take up to six weeks to work. I kept taking it, even though my blood pressure dropped. Halfway through the third month of taking it, I stopped because it was doing nothing at that point, and I didn't want to spend the $150.00 every month. After I stopped taking it, I developed cysts in my left breast and had to have them surgically removed. Very disappointed."

For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "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."

For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "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."
