What is Addyi (Flibanserin)?

Addyi is a prescription medication designed to help women with acquired HSDD, a condition where there is a sudden decline in sexual desire not caused by external factors like medications or relationship issues. Unlike treatments that boost physical arousal, Addyi works by targeting the brain’s neurotransmitters – serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine—to restore natural sexual desire.

    How Does Addyi Work?

    Flibanserin, the active ingredient in Addyi, impacts serotonin receptors in the brain to help rebalance chemicals that regulate sexual desire. This balance allows Addyi to reduce serotonin’s suppressive effects on sexual response while increasing dopamine and norepinephrine, the neurotransmitters that stimulate desire.

    How Do I Use Addyi?

    Take Addyi once a day, as prescribed by Dr. Schwarzburg, preferably at bedtime. Taking it at night helps reduce the risk of side effects such as dizziness, low blood pressure, or fainting. Be sure to avoid alcohol while taking Addyi, waiting until the next day before consuming any.

    How Long Does it Take for Addyi to Work?

    Initial results from Addyi can appear as early as 4 weeks, with full effects developing after 8 weeks. If no improvement is noticed after 8 weeks, your treatment plan may need to be reevaluated.

    Who is Addyi For?

    Addyi is intended for premenopausal women experiencing a loss of sexual desire that causes emotional distress. It is ideal for women whose decreased libido isn’t due to medications, stress, or relationship problems. Menopausal and postmenopausal women can also consult with Dr. Schwarzburg for alternatives, such as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

    Benefits of Addyi

    In clinical trials, Addyi has shown significant improvements, including:

    • Increased sexual desire and libido.
    • More satisfying sexual experiences.
    • Reduced stress related to low libido.

    Many women at Skinly Aesthetics report heightened sexual satisfaction and stronger relationships following Addyi treatment, feeling more confident and connected to their bodies and partners.

    Potential Side Effects and Risks

    While Addyi is effective for many women, potential side effects include:

    • Dizziness.
    • Nausea.
    • Fatigue and sleepiness.
    • Low blood pressure.

    It’s crucial to discuss your full medical history with Dr. Schwarzburg to ensure Addyi is safe for you. Contraindications include drinking alcohol while on Addyi, liver problems, and certain medications such as antifungals, antibiotics, and HIV treatments.

    Complementary Treatments

    While Addyi uniquely boosts sexual desire, there are additional treatments for enhancing libido and balancing hormones. Options include:

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Addyi

    How long does it take for Addyi to work?

    Most women start noticing improvements in sexual desire within 4 weeks, with full results typically appearing by 8 weeks. If there is no noticeable change after 8 weeks, it’s advised to discontinue use and consult with your doctor to explore alternative treatments.

    Can I drink alcohol while taking Addyi?

    It’s strongly recommended to avoid alcohol while taking Addyi. Consuming alcohol with Addyi can increase the risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting. If you drink alcohol, it’s safest to wait at least 2 hours before taking your dose, or skip the dose entirely if you’ve consumed more than two drinks.

    What if Addyi doesn’t work for me?

    If no improvement in sexual desire is noticed after 8 to 12 weeks of using Addyi, it may not be the right treatment for you. In such cases, your doctor might suggest other treatment options, such as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) or other medications.

    Are there any side effects of Addyi?

    Yes, potential side effects include:

    • Dizziness.
    • Nausea.
    • Fatigue or sleepiness.
    • Low blood pressure, particularly when taken with alcohol.

    It’s important to discuss any concerns or side effects with your doctor.

    Who should not take Addyi?

    Addyi is not suitable for everyone. It should not be taken if:

    • You have liver issues.
    • You are taking certain medications like antibiotics, antifungals, or HIV treatments.
    • You plan to consume alcohol regularly while on this medication.

    Make sure to provide your full medical history to your doctor to ensure Addyi is safe for you.
