Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m on Addyi and my question is, does this drug cause you to have blurred vision? Also my BP has been runing around 59/44- 83/61- 71/45- 80/58- 45/61- 76/54 and so on. I can t drive or cook or anything else due to weakness and dizzy and felling as if I m going to pass out. DeAnna
** Thanks for raising your concern on this platform and following description is provided:
1. Addyi [Flibanserin] is approved by FDA as prescription drug to treat the symptoms of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women and works by regulating certain brain chemicals that affect sexual desire.
2. because the drug can cause serious side effects in women taking alcohol, with mental health disorder and with liver disease thus in these cases it can cause severe hypotension [low blood pressure] which can cause dizziness, blurred vision,depression and loss of consciousness [which you are experiencing]
3. So it can be deduced that the symptoms which you are experiencing are side effects of the drug thus talk with your health care provider to change the drug [if it is prescribed by him] or consult a qualified health care professional.
