My TRIMIX experience

Posted by maverick75 @maverick75, Jan 4 9:27am

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. (-:

When I was new to Trimix, I found I had that stinging when I injected it in the wrong area. In my case, it was too deep. I found for me, I have to insert the needle at the 10 or 2 o'clock position and insert the length of the needle but just until the syringe reaches the skin (no depression of the skin). After having done it so many times now, I can feel the slight resistance when the needle penetrates the erectile tissue. After the injection, make sure you massage your penis and the base area to distribute the medication and stand while you are doing this and for the next 5-10 min. Don't give up.

Thanks , I meant to say my first injection was.05 not . 5 that did nothing, second try was .10 got maybe have normal size and hard enough for sex. It no fun really maybe because I’m still in Lupron to wear off in 2 months. Tonight I try .15 , funny the OC told me while I’m on Lupron I won’t event want sex , what planet is he from . I also watched a great YouTube video from a Dr on MenMd they go into detail about how to inject I think I didn’t inject at a 45 degree angle which maybe part of my problem, I’m hoping for better results tonight

Prior to starting androgen deprivation treatment (ADT) my libido - like most guys - was quite high. But...now while on ADT I don't really have any interest. It's so crazy strange. So your OC has a somewhat valid point.

Now I'm trying to participate in sex primarily for wife's benefit. She feels neglected and undervalued. ADT hurts both partners.

I was use to three times a week , wife would have preferred once or may twice a week, don’t think my other half suffering every day as I do mentally but you are right , the Lupron kills a strong urge but I’ve been fighting it along with terrible ankle cramps and nightly sweats

Hello to all of my fellow TRIMIX users. I had my RALP performed on 10/25/22. Even to this day, I can, on occasion get a natural erection for penetrative sex. However, they are too far and few in between and not reliable enough. I can always get an erection that’s about 85% effective but that unfortunately is still 15% short of the mark. I do experience nocturnal erections stiff and strong enough for penetrate sex but my wife and I sleep in separate beds in order to get some sleep so unless we’re on vacation and in the same bed, they are of no use to me. Except for the fact that they are a good sign that I am able to experience them.
TRIMIX has and remains great for me. It’s always effective and accountable. True, I have lost a bit of my sensitivity but I usually experience an orgasm. My wife does too, ( most of the time). Fact is, a good stiff and firm penis just works a whole lot better than anything less than that! It’s a bit expensive but my wife and I enjoy a lot of sex when we can so it’s always great to know that if we both want to have sex that we can and will!
It’s always worked great for me. A few times the medication got too old and past its efficacy but it still worked to some degree. I am a huge fan and a large proponent for TRIMIX. Really, with only a few exceptions, just about every man on the planet can get and keep a firm erection if he really wants too by using TRIMIX. The initial jab hurts very little and the “PAYOFF” is well worth it. There really is NO more excuses for not being able to get an erection when you want one. Just experiment enough to find the right dose and you will be well on your way to enjoying firm, hard erections whenever you, your wife or both of you want one.
Frankly, I am very grateful that the medication exists and is available.
Best wishes to all of the current users and soon to be users.
Kindest regards,
Phil
