What Pill for ED

[jaglad]

I have been prescribed pills for Erectile Disfunction. Doc' believes the ED is side effect of other Med's I am on. Personally I think I have circulation issues ?Anyway, 25Mg Viagra worked well but made my mouth very dry and gave headaches. I then moved on to 25Mg Sidenfill which is Ok but does not appear to be effective as Viagra. I now have the option of Tadalafil 5Mg daily.

I am not keen on having to take a tablet daily but does anyone have experience of these or alternatives ?

Viagra is just a trade name for sildenafil, they are the same thing. Maybe you just got over getting a headache and the effect can vary.

Thanks, TBH I had read that myself but it happened everytime with Viagra. I wonder if there is some minor ingredient that differs ?

I take 5mg tadalafil (Cialis) daily. Works great for me without the rush, stuffy nose, blue vision and headache I got from viagra.

Highly recommended.

I also take 5mg Cialis daily and works well without side effects. Testogel also has helped my low testosterone levels.

[xsevenx in reply to LondonB]

LondonB were you aware of any symptoms of low testosterone, and if so what were they?

[LondonB in reply to xsevenx]

Sluggish feeling, no morning "wood" etc. It was worthing having Testosterone levels checked with a private Endocrinoligst.

[xsevenx in reply to LondonB]

Thanks. And no adverse effects from the Testogel?

[LondonB in reply to xsevenx]

only good ones

Hi. Here's what I know about this and my experience:

Sildenafil is the drug and Viagra is a commercial brand for that drug. Viagra is usually recommended over other brands because it's known to be manufactured with quality ingredients, while other less known brands sometimes cut corners an use ingredients with lesser quality (or so one doctor told me).

When I used Viagra in the past, I never had any trouble, except that my vision did funny things regarding the colors I saw if I focused my eyes. That side effect always went away in a few hours.

Tadalafil is a drug, whose most known brand is Cialis. As with Viagra, Cialis is recommended for the same reasons explained above.

My doctor prescribed the 5mg pill to be taken daily. But the reason I was given to take it daily was so that I didn't have to be concerned to remember to take it if I was planning to have sex that day. Furthermore, the doctor explained it was more of a psychological reason, related to not losing the spontaneous aspect of sex, but that physically it would work as well if I just took it when I actually knew when I would be having sex. So I did not take it every day to make a habit out of it, but just when I planned having sex, and it always worked fine this way. This saved me a lot of money I must say, because it's not a cheap drug, and taking it everyday I'd go through a box per month, while taking it only when needed makes a box last a few months.

I hope this helps!

That is very interesting, Thanks

Tadalafil works great and lasts 24 hours. Actually helps me days after taking it as well

Thanks, some of the online Pharmacies do say that in their 'blurb' but I was sceptical.
