For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "I signed up for a free 2-month trial with this company. As soon as my second refill was due, they said they were not going to honor the agreement. The Addyi does not work. It only made me sleepy, nothing more. I decided that I would pay the $99.00 to give the drug a fair 2-month trial. NOTHING... changed. I do not recommend this nonsense."

For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "I have been on Addyi since 2019, and it has truly changed things for the better for me. It's meant to be taken at bedtime, so make sure you do that, as it will make you sleepy. The plus side is I've slept GREAT ever since! It took a few weeks before I started feeling the effects, and they were subtle in the beginning, however, they continued and became more frequent. I actually want to have sex again - I cannot believe I'm reviewing a drug online, but I felt the need to share my experience as this was a huge POSITIVE change in my personal well-being and relationship!"

For Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder "I used it. I even drank alcohol (wine) every night after the first couple of nights. First, I waited a couple of hours after drinking, then I took it while drinking. Right before bed, of course. It didn't affect me at all (alcohol). It only made me sleepy. NEVER DID MY BP GO DOWN OR DID I FEEL LIKE PASSING OUT, AND I'M AN EMT. It helped very little. I won't pay $600 after a 2-month free trial. Not worth it!! INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER IT!!!"
