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 "I experienced a rare and serious side effect of Addyi: severe shortness of breath, dizziness, and racing heart. It started about two weeks after I began taking Addyi, and I didn't make the connection to my new medication. I assumed it was COVID-19, took a week off work, and had two negative COVID tests. Long story short, after another week of struggling to breathe in the mornings that was continuing to get worse, I googled 'Addyi shortness of breath.' I had previously googled 'Addyi side effects,' and shortness of breath wasn't listed. Turns out, it is a side effect. So is a rash, which explains the rash on the back of my hand. Additionally, it can have a drug interaction with two medications I am on: Buspirone and SSRIs, aka the antidepressant class my Lexapro falls under. I should never have been prescribed Addyi, and the telehealth pharmacist I was referred to by the Addyi website should have known that. I told the guy every medication I'm on, including dose and time of day."

For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "I had a lot of bad side effects from this drug. I took it for two days. I had breathing problems, it made me extremely dizzy, and it gave me panic attacks. I felt really weird."
