I have this issue all the time my husband is so upset with me, text me if you ever want to talk about it! 7408045831
not fully hardened
only took 50mg
Maybe the dosage was to low for a long sustinable erection? Did you take 100 mg of Sildenafil?
Viagra doesn't work for everyone and even when it does work it does not mean it will work all the time. I took it and sometimes it worked while other times it did nothing. It's rather unpredictable that way. Good luck to you
You say that there WAS an erection and the penis was hard, but then it softened.
The answer may be as simple as continued stimulation. However, the time of day may also be an issue. Some men find they get "morning wood" very easily and feel very aroused when waking. However, some also report that as soon as they start sexual stimulation, despite having a firm morning erection, that it doesn't last. They experience better lasting erections at night, though the more firm, urgent ones may be "morning wood".
So, the question might revolve around WHEN you took the viagra, and how long you attempted to stay hard.
You might also return to your doctor (after you have attempted this on different days and/or different times) and report your success or lack of it. Your doctor may decide to prescribe a different form of ED medicine. (Cialis, Levitra, etc.) [You ARE taking the viagra for ED, aren't you? This isn't an attempt at experimenting with internet marketed drugs, right?]
You may also have a problem with the vein structure-if the veins in the penis are small, even Viagra won't help a lot. You might want to get checked. Also the above answers are all good ones.
I take an ssri and take viagra when I want to have and sustain an erection. The ssri are definite erection and ejaculation inhibitors for me. I sometimes cannot maintain hardness for intercourse for very long, even with the viagra. Other times I can. Mornings seem best with evenings the hardest. There may also be other reasons to check with your doctor. One is low testosterone for which I take injections to attain a normal testosterone level. This was at times and still is hard psychologically, but have been able to shift my goals to enjoy whatever the moment may bring. Whether ejaculation, orgasm, or intimacy. Good luck to you.
i have used viagra myself,but you must be sexually aroused for it to work effectivly
Most of the doctors that prescribe this tell the patient to not just try it one time and give up. On a separate day, try it again, give it at least 1 hour to work. Do not take more of the medication in the same day unless doctor tells you to. If still having problems, call doctor and tell him so he can advise further or change med.
do you happen to have any blood pressure problems? if you are taking any blood pressure meds, that could be a reason as to why it didnt work
Very important point... ! when taking Viagra, the doctor should tell you or you read the leaflet, The penis ( MUST be sexually aroused within 29 30 minutes, ) If you do not do this the Viagra will be lost & not work. ... ! so sexually stimulate within and up to 30 minutes after taking Viagra.You also may need a higher mg, say 20 mg ( as body weight is taken into account ) I hope this was helpful. ( Please tell your Doctor if you have a heart problem, or if you have high blood pressure, ( ask they do not look always ) Viagra is dangerous with the two conditions.
