Sildenafil dosing question

Posted by chipe @chipe, 6 days ago

Hi all!
For those of you taking Sildenafil (Viagra) to help with ED, I am asking this dosing question.
I just got my first script from the online pharmacy my doctor sent it to, and the bottle says "Take two pills daily and 3 more 1 hour before sexual activity."

Is this normal? Take it every day? And then on the "appointed day" take 5?
TIA!

I took 10mg Viagra and felt crappy...same thing with Cialis. I have another T test tomorrow, I'm about 10 months past radiation treatment and 4 months ADT and my levels have slowly been rising with the last reading about 75% of normal. I saw a 'specialized' urologist who said, 'if you have a penis, we can make it erect', but all the methods he described, other than meds., were undesirable. Thankfully, I'm 72 and can live with limpitis, albeit, still dreaming of the return of AM wood.

Good luck and good health!!

Did you have the same symptoms with Cialis as with Viagra?

I have found that I can get a full erection with the help of a penis pump. I ended up getting the Pos-T-Vac 2 battery system. Works well, although I am not able to maintain the erection without the use of a band. I slowly worked my way up to full. At first, there was some discomfort at different levels of erection, so I took it in steps: 1 week 1/4; 1 week 1/2, 1 week+ 3/4, and now full—no more discomfort.
