Recently began Trimix injections and I have questions for users.
I am 78 years old, widowed and new to sex after abstaining for 5 plus years due to my wife's illness. I started seeing an amazing woman about 6 months ago and recently discovered that we have a very strong physical and sexual attraction only to embarrassingly discover my inability to have an erection. I discussed this with my GP and he prescribed the typical oral medications with zero effect. I requested a urology referral and am seeing a nurse practitioner who has prescribed Trimix. I am healthy with the exception of well controlled diabetes. I have taken 2 injections so far, first dose 20 units and second dose 40 units as I got a minimal reaction to both in hardness and duration. I am going to make a third attempt using 50 units and my NP said not to increase past this dose and will re-evaluate. My girlfriend is a retired nurse and has some diagnostic concerns, as she puts it, in that no one has done a prostate exam in 6 plus years and she thought I should have a penile ultrasound to rule out vascular insufficiency before starting injections. I should mention that she made sure the injection was placed properly so I know that isn't a factor. She is concerned about vascular issues because we have extremely sensual foreplay and she can see that I am extremely aroused mentally and ready for sex but no erection. She is very understanding and patient, even downplaying the importance of penetration so I won't be embarrassed. She explained that the NP will probably adjust the medications within the mixture at the next visit. I want so badly for this to work because of the way we feel about each other sexually and otherwise. She doesn't think I had an extensive enough evaluation to have been given this medication. I would love to hear from other users who probably through trial and error arrived at an adequate dose of the most effective mixture so I know I'm going in the right direction.

79 here. Trimix works well. .23 ml of double strength aprostadil. Keep increasing strength and you’ll see improvements. See a urologist who specializes in men’s sexual health. Many urologists prefer to deal with surgeries instead of sexual issues. Specialty is usually called “Mens Health” within Urology.

1 ReactionHey, thanks. I needed to hear this today. I’m going to check my vial and see how much aprostadil is in the mixture. I’m going to try the third dose tomorrow at 60 units, the max before I see the NP again. Are you still using it?
Yes I am still using the trimix. My current mixture is as follow:
Per each ml of trimix:
16.13 micrograms of Prostaglandin 16.13 MCG
24.19 milligram of Papaverine 24.19 mg
1.61 milligram of Phentolamine 1.61 mg
I currently use 0.23 milliliter of this trimix per injection.
I achieve about a 2 hour erection.
This mixture of trimix is stronger than the initial mixture of TRIMIX that I started on a couple of years ago. The prostaglandin is the major influencer for bringing blood into the penis. (rigidity or hardness)
I recommend you view a youtube video about Trimix 101 from an Austrailian Urologist which is excellent in describing the process and recommended massage treatment for maximum effectiveness.
my story similar to yours. Married 51 yrs. Spent my entire time after prostate removal as a caretaker. interested in sex but no evening erections and no partner. I guess its important to have that evening erection. Its what keeps the tissue healthy. Dr put me on 5mg cialis to take daily. I do get a partial erection during the night. I have met someone younger. She is 68 and I am 74. I started the trimix at 5 units. I am glad its not 50. My Dr ordered the super strength and told me not to go above 40 units. The 5 units works for me. I have a penetrable erection for about 2 hrs. I keep the mixture frozen because at 5 units it makes a lot of syringes. Your erection lasts even if you orgasm. Its not an ideal outcome. Medication needs to be kept cold, travel is difficult, nothing spontaneous. I would also say my erection is not what it was prior. Its not as full and length is lacking. I would consider an implant if I had to take 50 units. The insulin syringes I have only go to 30 so we must be talking about different units. Implants seem to be fairly safe.
I’m on the initial starting dose which is probably quite a bit lower strength than what you have settled on. As cageykg also mentioned a stronger mix. My first dose was 20 units, then 40 and I was told I can increase by another 20 and then we have a follow up visit to discuss the results. I know I am at the upper limit on volume so I suppose she will change the strength of the ingredients. My NP is a very young woman, absolutely professional and clinically qualified but I’m wondering if a male practitioner who specializes in men’s health would be a better option.
Thank you both for your input.
I totally agree with getting a male professional to treat you. The communication is easier for me to express the entire details to another male, be it a nurse or physician assistant or medical doctor. Good luck to you and I expect you will find more success.
