Flibanserin for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "Started using Addyi 10/12/2020. I'm a 45-year-old female, 180 lbs ish. I believe I am at the end of pre-menopause, the stretch between cycles has gotten longer. I have completed one full bottle of the medication. I researched and read many reviews, so I started with 1/2 a pill for about a week, then progressed to a full pill by the weekend so that my spouse was home to watch me. It is a great sleep aid since menopause causes insomnia. I had no severe side effects that many women shared. I am concerned that I may be more emotional now. As far as libido, I have started to be more interested. I have also been using Vit E suppositories (before and during). I hope to come back again to give an additional update. If it does not work more by the end of the 2nd bottle, I will stop."

Flibanserin for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "I've been on Addyi for three weeks. It puts me to sleep, HARD! I even woke up with jaw pain from grinding all night. I ended up investing in a mouth guard. I'm having very lucid dreams. I'm really enjoying sleeping that profoundly-but I MUST make sure I get a full 8 hours of sleep or I wake up very tired. Placebo? Maybe. Whatever it is, I can honestly say that my husband is very happy, and so am I. I haven't noticed any mood swings or mood changes-maybe because I'm sleeping so much? I'm going to stay on it and see what happens in the next few weeks on my free trial."

For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "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."
