My TRIMIX experience

Posted by maverick75 @maverick75, Jan 4, 2025

I've been using Trimix for about six months with outstanding results. It did take some experimentation to figure out the best way to make it work for me. With hopes that it may help others, here's what I discovered using this medication: (BTW, I'm 71, one year post SBRT and 4 months Orgovyx)
- I have had to use the oral antidote several times (works well) in the early dose experimentation days for super hard erections lasting more than three hours (4tablets of 30 mg pseudoephedrine. Don't make the mistake of buying the extended release pseudoephedrine tabs). Make sure you have this on hand before you start this medication!
- I had to find the sweet spot for the injection site and depth. For me turns out to be the 10 and 2 o'clock position with the 1/2" needle almost fully inserted around mid-shaft.
- Shelf life on the Trimix in the refrigerator is limited. I can definitely see a difference in the results at the 3-4 week period. For me, it became pretty useless after 4 weeks, even at a higher dose. To help extend the life, I now fill all syringes with the needed dose as soon as I get the medication and immediately place all syringes into the freezer until needed. Now, I take a syringe out about 30 min before needed and it's ready to go. This is working well and my pharmacist said this should extend the shelf-life to 6 months or more.
- After injecting, massage the entire penis and base to help distribute the medication throughout the muscle structure. This will help significantly.
- Stand for the first 5-10 minutes after injection as gravity aids in the blood flow into the penis.
This medication has been a lifesaver for me. I was afraid I'd never see a useful erection again. Now, I'm back to 18 in that regard-- actually better than 18 as my erection stays hard even after an orgasm! Best of luck guys! Be aware that your partner may hide your medication if you use it to often. (-:

Wait...what?...$40.00 per injection?!?!?!? Dang...they get you anyway they can. Without saying it directly, you infer that Trimix may not be reimbursed by insurance or Medicare??? Please...anyone/everyone...please offer how you pay for your Trimix. Wouldn't it be just like insurance companies and Medicare to "deny" coverage for something that is a direct result of what they paid for with our prostatectomy surgery? Unreal. Thank you.

Now I'm saying it outright Medicare definitely does not pay for Trimix, at least they didn't mine. I read it is seldom covered under any insurance. If it continued to be effective it I'd pay for it.
When they reformulated my Trimix the price dropped to $35.00 still outrageous for an erection we should get naturally.

I also started out at 30 and went up to 50 but eventually had it reformulated and then my dose went down to 35 so apparently the formulation has something to do with your dosage. I wasn't getting hard enough and so they reformulated it.
As far as injecting, it is concerned it's mostly just thinking about it. I remember when I was first told about this medication and they told me how it was given. I said there's no way I'm gonna do that but then when I did, I didn't even feel it. When I did feel it, it was very insignificant. I no longer use because of a venous leak. If I stop my prostate meds Viagra or Cialis sometimes work and it's substantially cheaper. About one dollar per pill compared to $40 per injection.

@jakedduck1 I think I’m going to look into having the pharmacy perhaps reformulate the Trimix. Perhaps they can get it a little more user-friendly. It’ll get there. It just won’t stay there. Lol, if my memory serves me correctly, I believe that was critical. Thanks a lot for your advice, I’m gonna try to see where that leads me.
