Viagra (sildenafil) for Erectile Dysfunction "Was skeptical, but it sure does work. 45 minutes after a 50 mg dose, had the best erection in years. Was able to get a good one even the next morning. Am extremely satisfied, going to try a smaller dose, think it will be fine for me."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I have been taking sildenafil for about 2 months. I have tried to follow all the instructions. The first time I tried 40 mgs and got a fairly good erection, firm but not really hard. Then I went up to 60 mgs, about the same results, maybe less. I went up to 80 mgs and had so-so erections, firm but not really hard. I went to 100 and have had better erections, but still not hard, and I always feel like I am about to lose it."

Viagra (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."

Viagra (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."

Viagra (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."

Viagra (sildenafil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 48, and I don't have any problem getting an erection, I still fancy my wife very much. The issue I have is maintaining it, then it became a psychological problem. I've been on this amazing drug now for over a year, and it works very well for me. In fact, I love the intense erection it gives me. Yes, I get facial flushing and a slight headache, but ibuprofen sorts that out. If nothing else, I oddly like the flushing now. It makes me feel ready... I started on 50mg and then took myself up to 75mg as I felt it was not as intense as it used to be. For me personally, it takes about 1.5 hours to kick in. I love it!!!"

Viagra (sildenafil) for Erectile Dysfunction "Just used Viagra 50mg tablet for the first time. I'm 43 and during sex, my erection can soften. Results were amazing, hard erection all night and in the morning, wife and I very happy, had slight flu-like symptoms later on. No headache and nothing serious. Would recommend and advise to buy branded tablets. I took Pfizer."

Viagra (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."

Viagra (sildenafil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I turned 50 and found I had difficulty in obtaining a good erection. My wife suggested we give Viagra a try, and I was prescribed 50 mg tablets. I tried one the first night, and within 45 minutes, I felt flushed and very excited. I went to the bathroom, and after a little coaxing, I came out with the biggest erection I had for years, much to my wife's pleasure. The climax was very intense, and I was able to get erect again shortly afterwards. I used three tablets in two weeks, and there was satisfaction for both myself and my wife every time."

Viagra (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!"

Viagra (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."

Viagra (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!"

Viagra (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."

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."

Viagra (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."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 64 years old and never needed any help in bed, but recently things have taken a downturn. When I mentioned it to my doctor, he was quick to prescribe Viagra to be taken one hour before needed. The pharmacist suggested sildenafil 100mg instead as a cheaper brand with the same characteristics and effect. It does absolutely nothing. Took one at 21:40, jumped in the shower, shaved, manicured, went to bed, and followed a bit of Facebook with my wife; started massaging her, but at 12 midnight still nothing. If so, making me so tired, sleepy, and frustrated. I think I should take it back to the pharmacist with a complaint. If we buy any other product and find it to be faulty or simply don't work, aren't we entitled to get our money back or another item that works? Why not for medication as well? Food for thought."

Viagra (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)"

Viagra (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."

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."

Viagra (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."

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."

Viagra (sildenafil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 76. Been using Cialis for BPH and also ED. Tried Viagra last week. Wow. Never performed so well. Took about 2 hours before sex. Had a great erection and lasted as long as I wanted to. Decided to climax after about 1/2 hr. of continuous intercourse. My partner was amazed and said it was the best! I had received 50 mg tablets, but I cut them in half. Seemed to be more than enough. Maybe I'll try 50 mg for comparison."

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."

Viagra (sildenafil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I am 45 years old. I have been suffering from ED for the last 3 months. My physician suggested Viagra 100 mg. The India generic version is also available at a low cost, 15 Indian Rs per pill. I have tried it, it's great. I have found harder erections and have been doing sex twice a night. No side effects. I found it works for up to 15 to 16 hours for me."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 71 and have used ED drugs now for 15 years. Last year, when the drug companies raised and jacked the price of a 100 MG Viagra tablet up to $50, I went looking for alternatives. I found Revalto was the exact same drug as Sildenafil Citrate, only in 20 MG tablets, so I talked to my doctor, and he wrote me a prescription for 10 of them, which only cost me $3.25. I had been taking the 100 MG Viagra, so I took 5 of the 20 MG tablets the first time I tried them, and that worked like magic again. Over the past year, I've found out that 3 of those 20 MG tablets work fine, and the only difference I see is they work MUCH FASTER (20 minutes for me), so adjust your 'session' accordingly! And 3 of those only cost 95 cents!!! ;-)"
