Cialis blues

[Purple-Bike]

Severe muscle cramps nighttime in my legs have recently been wrecking my sleep. After reading up, I discovered that pain in legs can be a side effect of tadalafil/ cialis.

After quitting, the cramps rapidly receeded and after less than a week no longer appear.

I had been taking 5 mg daily for 4-6 months when the cramps started, in different places each time, on either leg. Mainly calves, occasionally thigh or foot.

Alas, all is not gold that glitters.

I will try sildenafil instead. That also has muscle pain as a possible side effect, but at least it is not specified to be in the legs.

I experienced it also but attributed to the ADT drugs , my thinking was it was either the Abiraterone or Prednisone. MO prescribed Potassium Chloride because it was low and they have gone away. I have been taking Cialis for over 10 years so I ruled it out because I did not have severe cramps before ADT.

It´s a rare side effect with Cialis. I know of one other person who got the same effect.
