I didn't intend to ever post about this, but I've just realised that everybody who reads this site is a woman who's mentioned a loss of libido at some point or another.
One of the sciencey podcasts I listen to has been covering Flibanserin (aka: Addyi), ever since it was rejected by the American Food & Drug Administration, back in 2010 (I think). Since then, Flibanserin has changed hands at least twice, and seems to have become something of a case study in how to bring a nearly worthless drug to market.
According to the analysis I have heard, Flibanserin is only marginally more effective than a placebo, and reacts negatively with both alcohol and the contraceptive pill.
As far as I know, it's only been approved in US & Canada so far, but if you or somebody you know is thinking of taking it, please do some research first.
