For Erectile Dysfunction "64 years old, difficulty sustaining an erection, have tried Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, and now Stendra. Viagra gave me irregular heartbeat. Cialis gave me the worst headache and severe facial flushing, but worked great. Levitra had lesser side effects but stopped working despite increasing the dosage. Have used Stendra for about 4 months now, have had to increase the dose steadily, now it is effective at 250 mg and still very limited side effects, a slight headache sometimes, no body or back ache, slight facial flushing, so basically it is the best erectile dysfunction medicine I've yet tried."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I have suffered from erectile dysfunction since I was 16! I snapped the blood vessels in the base of my penis. I began using Muse (suppositories you place in your urethra). Then Viagra was approved. So, I have been using Viagra for 16 years. I tried Levitra and Cialis when they were available, but they didn't work as well as Viagra. I got a prescription for Stendra last week and tried it today. I didn't get the pressure in my head like I do with Viagra, and also I didn't get the bluish tint to everything. However, it doesn't work as well as Viagra. My erections would come and go. I guess everyone is different! I was hoping it would work as well as Viagra without the side effects. I guess I will stick to my little blue pill!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I have been using Viagra for 8 years and finally could not keep up with the cost! It started out affordable, now almost $30 per pill! My doctor gave me a sample of Stendra, and it is awesome! No headache, immediate response (take it on an empty stomach with a glass of water), and I get 3-4 erections and longer performance. My partner is loving this!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I was prescribed Stendra by my urologist. I am 66 years old now and never had erectile dysfunction problems until now. I've been taking Stendra for the past two weeks, and it has really not helped at all. All I've had is a mild headache. I am sad because of all the pills for erectile dysfunction, I had my highest hopes on this one, but it really didn't work for me. In fact, their own literature says it works on 3 out of 4 men. I am so sad to know that I am that other one."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I've had an unusual experience with ED. I’m 50, in pretty good shape, surf, active, eat healthy. Not super fit, but not bad for a dad bod guy. I've always had a super high sex drive. While my drive is always super high, I am either ready to drill through a wall because it's so hard, or - recently - nothing at all. (My doctor thinks due to stress.) He prescribed 200 mg, and I finally broke down and tried it. Had a mutual massage session scheduled with a friend. I have never ever gotten hard during a massage. First touch and “boom,” hard as a rock. This lasted most of the day. Was able to enjoy partner play once, and then quite frankly I had to take care of things myself two more times that day because it wouldn’t stop. Almost no headache compared to Levitra and Cialis. Just know if you consider yourself in the “minor” category, you may be dealing with it all day long. ;-) Not a bad problem to have. Would recommend. PS - I took it in the morning on an empty stomach. It kicked in SUPER fast."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I took it 1 hour before; got a slight headache, works only moderately well? Got semi-hard, but it's still better than Viagra or Cialis; at least I can have intercourse. This one is the best pill on the market for me. I've tried everything else."

For Erectile Dysfunction "200 mg Stendra, taken 15 minutes prior to sexual activity. Nasal congestion and mild headache after 30 minutes. No change in ability to achieve and maintain an erection. A placebo would have been more effective."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Took 100 mg of Stendra. About 30 min later, the wife started doing her part, and the old boy was back to the glory days of firm and long. Wife was happy. No real side effects, though I had a slight headache. Just an expensive option."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Great experience with 100 mg. This is not a stimulant. It just helps slugger step up to the plate to hit a home run after stimulation. Slight headache. Due to cost, will be glad when generics are available."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Junk drug - I have tried Cialis before, and that worked pretty well, but bad indigestion. This stuff just gives me a headache, but nothing else happens. Tried 200 mg twice, and nothing. Lame."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I took the 200 mg pill, and other than bloodshot eyes and a mild headache, I had absolutely no reaction at all whatsoever to get an erection. What a waste of money. Don’t waste your money."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I couldn't get hard enough to penetrate my partner. My doctor gave me Viagra to try. It didn't work at all, gave me a severe headache, backache, and worst of all, made my heart race and almost hyperventilate. Then he sent me to a urologist yesterday, who believes it's mental not physical, but gave me Stendra, which I never heard of. I took it last night for the first time, and wow, 15 minutes later I was rock hard, able to perform without issue. Several hours later, I was able to engage again without any problems. The best part of all is no side effects whatsoever."
