How Addyi Works

Addyi is non-hormonal — it works in the brain1. Addyi rebalances brain chemicals related to desire. Addyi increases the brain chemicals that enhance interest in sex, while reducing the ones that might be dampening desire.

1. The exact way Addyi works is unknown.

Tracking Your Addyi Progress

Some prescribers recommend a daily journal or app for keeping track of changes in desire, frequency of satisfying sexual events and distress or frustration due to low desire.

What to expect with Addyi

With nightly use of Addyi, you may start to feel your desire build—and experience more satisfying intimacy. The most common side effects of Addyi include dizziness, nausea, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep and dry mouth.
