I have been taking avlimil for almost 2 months now and I think it is working. It is not like viagra, instantanious, but it works. I have SDD after childbirth and haven't been interested for almost 10 years. I've noticed that I think about sex during my work day occasionally (never happened before), I see an attractive man and get that giddy-girlie feeling (also very new) and I find that I am starting the sex more often. It is hard to really say how good it works since I am also doing the DR thing and haven't had the freedom with my H that would really tell me. They say that at the 3 month mark you reach peak, I'm about half way but I do notice a differnce and its pleasant. I haven't noticed any side effects. The only claim they made that I am not seeing is the pain reduction factor in sex. My H is a big guy and the pain is not reduced. It's minor discomfort really, but not reduced by the avlimil. I'd recommend it.
