Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Had a problem with keeping the old fella up as of late. Not much joy for her or me. So tried the little blue pill last night for the first time. Took it at 9:15 p.m., waited an hour and thought I’ll just go and give him a bird bath (wash), lol. Anyway, wasn’t feeling all that randy, but by the time I’d dried him off..."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am 37 with an ED problem. When I first got 25 mg doses, it didn't work for me. I then tried the 100 mg dose, and it worked. So it's just the perfect dose. It varies from person to person and their medical conditions."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "All I can say is thanks to my doctor for Viagra! I'm only 48 but had been suffering occasional issues with not getting or keeping an erection, and it was becoming an issue. As any man knows... once you think too much about how important it is to get the erection, it's not going to stay or happen! The doctor recommended trying Viagra 50mg to get back into the swing of it after the usual checks. He actually said probably cutting the 50mg pill in half would work, but I popped in the 50mg anyhow at the end of a meal out and gave myself the recommended 1 hour. Amazing results, lasted 30 mins on this! Poor wife had to take a breather halfway, but she loved it! Half a pill next time, had slight dizziness. Repeat prescription for us!"

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I’m in my mid-40s and have not been able to perform for the past few years like I used to. My erections were not strong and would go away quickly before ejaculating. I decided to talk to the doctor about it and set an appointment. The conversation with the doctor was easy to have, and we spoke about the symptoms. He gave me a few options, and we decided on Viagra to start with. The doctor prescribed 100 mg. With generics now available, I was able to get 30 pills for about $26 from the pharmacy at my local grocery store. I had read reviews and learned about the headaches. I took my first pill with ibuprofen to avoid a headache. About an hour later, things were ready to go. Our first session was great, lasting about 30 minutes and lots of 'Wow's. About 20 minutes later, ready to go again for another 30 minutes. And about 30 minutes after the second session, my wife asked if I was ready for another session, which I was. The only side effect was the flushing, but it was not bad."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Ok, so I'm 26 years of age and struggled to get hard not because I can't, but because of nerves. My confidence was shocked. I started seeing someone new, and she wished to be active. Lo and behold, I couldn't get hard. So, I got Viagra 25 mg online. I took one 30 minutes before activity, and my goodness! It was amazing, worked so well. I was even more aroused than normal. The hard-on lasted much longer than normal, and if I did go soft, it did not take much to get hard again! The main side effect I found was a stuffy nose, but let's be honest, that was the last thing on my mind! I have also talked to my doctor, and because I did masturbate a lot, like once or twice a day, she did say this too could also be a cause. So, I stopped masturbating as much. Things are much better. Viagra helped with my confidence, and my partner and I are having the best sex of our relationship."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I take 100 mg Viagra on a regular basis, and it is wonderful. My erections are not as good as they once were, although they are still firm enough for penetration and stay firm enough for a 'quickie.' When we want a longer and more vigorous session, I take 100 mg Viagra, and this ensures that my erection is very firm as it was long ago, and I can maintain the erection for as long as is required. My wife loves it and often gives me a pill when she is wanting a really good time."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm in my early 60s and am suffering from the usual aches and pains from arthritis, injuries, and just old age. Shooting pains from my knees will make me limp during sex. I can't easily bring this up with my family physician, so I ordered from a U.S. online pharmacy in Arizona that charges a 'consultation' fee prescription that's only good for purchase on their website. I quartered a 100 mg Viagra tablet, and after about 15 minutes, felt a flushing sensation around my nose and eyes. Then we had sex like we were in our 20s for an hour. Only one star taken away because of the high cost. Can't wait for OTC Cialis next year."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I ordered the meds because of my inabilities to maintain a hard erection after having some prostate issues in my late 40s. Now in my 50s, it seemed like my best sex was over. Took the pills and stayed rock hard all night, was able to have regular sex for hours. Before, with sex, I would often finish before my wife as I finished too fast. On this night, she had to push me off. She was satisfied before I was. I came 3 times. And it only took me a few minutes before I was rock hard again. Best sex I ever had. Never performed that well or was that hard through the whole act. Great find! Extremely satisfied-worked beyond my wildest dreams."

Sildenafil for Sexual Dysfunction, SSRI Induced "Because it's VERY expensive and 25, 50, and 100 mg pills all cost the same, I cut 100 mg pills into 4 pieces, though not with total accuracy. 25 mg is enough for me. For me, it begins to take effect in about 30 minutes and is fully effective by about 40 minutes. The effect lasts for at least 2 hours, and I experience no side effects. I suppose if I wanted it to last longer, I could take another 25 mg since I'd still be at only 1/2 of the maximum recommended dosage, which is 100 mg. It gives me an extra hard erection. I don't use Viagra every time, though. There are pill cutters available, which make it easier to cut pills."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 57 and enjoy an active sex life with my wife. In the last few months, erections were not as strong, and I had not been able to maintain it a couple of times. During my physical, I talked to my PA about my problem staying hard, and she said I wasn't that old and should still be enjoying sex and suggested I try Viagra. I take a half pill (50mg), and other than a flushed feeling (lets me know it's working), I have no side effects. With the extra blood flow, I'm as hard as I can remember, and my wife says she can tell I'm longer and thicker, so I can relax and not stress over it."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 71 and have been using Viagra or sildenafil for about a year. It is a wonderful drug, but getting the dosage right is critical. I can still get an erection without help, but it had become a bit unreliable. I started off taking half a 50 mg tablet. It certainly worked, but I felt it was just a bit too much. I now cut the tablet into 4 and find a quarter of a tablet makes all the difference and barely gives me any side effects. The half-tablet dose was too much for me. It gave a very strong erection but reduced the sensations and gave me a slight headache. So I reckon it's worth experimenting to find the minimum dose you can get away with. (NB the low dose works better on a reasonably empty stomach)"

Sildenafil "This is a miracle drug. I have diabetes and have had troubles keeping an erection for a number of years. I started taking Viagra about a year ago and the results are fabulous. I started with a 50 mg pill, but me just being me wanted more. So now I take the 100mg tablet and the results are GREAT! I have multiple orgasms and so does my lover. Our relationship has improved 500% and would not trade it for anything in the world. Thank you Mr. Viagra. You are a genius!"

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I took Viagra last night for the first time. Took 50mg, waited 50 minutes and nothing. Took 50 more, and since last night I've had four strong erections, 4x what I normally have had. Strongly recommend. Much more confidence in myself."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 52 and have struggled for a year or so to maintain an erection during intercourse. I was usually able to get hard enough to penetrate my wife, but increasingly it got soft before I could come. Took 50 mg last night an hour before sex, and wow, ended up with a rock-hard erection. Lasted 40 minutes for the first session, and my wife orgasmed twice, and 10 minutes later was hard as a rock again and in for a second session. My wife was amazed and so pleased. She couldn't remember the last time it was that intense. I could have gone again 10 minutes later, but my wife was exhausted in a lovely way. Best thing I ever did buying this amazing tablet. My confidence in bed is returning."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Viagra is the only medicine I have taken long term, i.e., more than 2 years. It has really been a help for me, without it, my erections are much softer, unreliable, and of short duration. My wife couldn't be happier. The only problem was cost. I live in Australia but travel a lot for work in Southeast Asia. On one of my business trips to Thailand, I got severe food poisoning and had to go to a local doctor. He asked me if I was taking any medication that might affect the medicine he was prescribing me, and I just said the only thing I take is Viagra. He laughed and said I must be a rich guy. He asked me if I wanted to try Thai Viagra called Sidegra, it's really cheap here. So from that day forward, I've been using Sidegra and buying it online."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am a 61-year-old male having trouble getting erections for intercourse. Gets halfway and boom gone. The doctor gave me Viagra 100 mg, take a half and it works good. Tried a fourth of one, does not work as well. Works well and no side effects. This has given me confidence back and I enjoy sex again. I have noticed it takes longer to ejaculate and sometimes I never do the second time around. Thank you."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I was 50 and had ED when I met this young woman, initially did not know what was wrong as I could not perform and had to abandon the act with excuses. A month later, I was prescribed 50 mg and took it an hour before, and it worked fine as we both had a good time twice in one night. I was exhausted in the morning, had a slight headache, and felt heat on the body during the night but was fine the next morning. Since then, it has been 12 years as I am 62 now, and I have taken this miracle drug of 50 mg every weekend when we make love, and it works great. Even though I have controlled my BP drug medication, the last 12 years have been great with Viagra. I only hope it will help until I am 65 when I would probably say goodbye to sex."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Works great for me. 25 mg usually is enough, but I'll take 50 mg if I've been drinking. With 100 mg, I can cut a diamond in half, but the sensitivity goes away. I get them online, which I found after days of research. I pay $1 for a pill versus $30 with my insurance, plus insurance told me only 4 pills a month. I get blushed in the face sometimes as the only side effect for me. The pill lasts about 4 hours."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am in my 60s. I needed a small operation which the consultant said might affect my sex, it did, and I slowly lost confidence. He suggested Viagra, and it failed the first two times, however, on the third time, it was fab. Your mind is very much in control, you MUST not expect the drug to simply work by itself. It works only when you are sexually aroused by adding to the natural process already taking place in your mind/body. Take your time, fancy your partner, and combine it with a little foreplay. With my confidence back, we have slowed down our use of the drug and often don't use it at all... Tip: Be relaxed, be very interested in sex, give her a nice massage, and it should work out fine."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm a 64-year-old sexually active bloke. I had struggled for around 3 years after recovering from a heart attack with problems achieving and maintaining an erection during foreplay and attempting penetration during intercourse. My wife, who is 12 years younger than me, encouraged me to speak to my doctor about it, and in somewhat typical 'bloke' fashion, I finally plucked up the courage to speak with him about my problem. Being aware of my health status, he prescribed sildenafil citrate 50 mg, saying that I should start with 1 tablet on an empty stomach 1 hour prior to sex. We gave it a whirl recently, and WOW, what a difference! Around 60 minutes after taking the sildenafil (even after recently eating), I was up and hard with little stimulation."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Tried sildenafil for the first time this weekend for ED. It has a tendency to make an outgoing personality not so much. It did not make me rock hard at 60 mg. I'm thinking it should have. The next day, I did 20 mg and then later that evening, 40 mg more. Each evening, I had trouble getting to sleep. The second evening, I had to get out of bed due to the side effects. Honestly, I really thought I might be dying. It made me feel extremely thirsty with dry mouth symptoms, made me feel like I had to sit on the toilet for about an hour, and I had what is described as a flush, which was the complete body sweat coming over me. Unfortunately, I was in a very remote area, and it made me very concerned for my life. I will never take it again."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 54 and was good in sex until 53, and later I saw because of work stress and other life stresses and big gaps in the sex made my erectile dysfunction, and I believe one more reason when I was taking some medicine to control my blood pressure, those medicines also affect my sex process. I decided to start Viagra (Sildenafil) 60 mg in June 2020, and it worked well. Within two hours, it started working, and that goes up to four hours. No major side effects. So far, each time I see a little sinus, and then it goes away in 12 to 18 hours, and maybe very minor headache the next morning. In one month, I completed 10 episodes, it worked great with two to three days' gaps. I am also focusing on natural stuff which helps, like goat milk with almonds and other nuts, and reducing work stresses and unnecessary life stresses as well. Hope it will help you to understand my experience."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Yes, I achieved good erections after about 40 to 50 minutes and yes, I could repeat the experience a week or two later; however, the side effects drove me away from it. Side effects: Annoyance, blue-tinted vision lasting about 2 hours. First, migraine-like headaches. No conventional medicines would relieve the pain, sensitivity to light, nausea, and lethargy. The most disturbing was difficulty swallowing for about 3-4 hours. I ended up switching to 'Levitra'. Only a mild headache and some other minor effects for 2-3 hours. Not quite as good of an erection though (80% to 90% as good)."
