For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "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."

For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "I’m being a tad dramatic, but I saw my life flash before my eyes last night after taking my first dose. It honestly scared me so bad I really thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. My heart rate went down so fast, I truly understand why they say take it at night. I put on my Apple Watch immediately so I could get a read on my pulse, and it went from 123 to 54 bpm, and it kept going up and down like that for an hour. I HAD TO CRAWL TO THE BATHROOM because I was too scared to stand up and go throw up my stomach contents. It took about 20 minutes to really hit me. Feeling like this is definitely not worth the experience. I do not recommend this drug."

For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "Well. I only took one pill. I have no idea if it works long term because I literally felt like I was going to die. I got vertigo, started sweating, threw up on myself because I couldn't make it to the bathroom. Laid down and could not move my limbs, I could barely swallow. (I guess my blood pressure went too low?) We were minutes away from going to the hospital, but my husband said I passed out. Maybe 100 mg is too strong? I'm never taking this again."

For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "Horrible. I took my first pill last night and almost passed out. I was lightheaded, dizzy, had blurry vision, and was nauseous. What made that really bad is I have a 2-year-old that I could not tend to overnight. Horrible."

For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "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."
