Viagra (sildenafil) "I gave it a 7 only because I have friends that have used it, and it worked really well. I have been taking this 25 mg and it does absolutely nothing. I've had bloodwork, all levels are fine, however, I do take a list of medications that could be stopping it from working. I'm 49 and not sure what is next. I even took 4 (100 mg) one night at the same time and nothing."

Viagra (sildenafil) "This is an absolutely fantastic medication, has vastly improved intimacy and sex with partner, self-confidence and self-esteem. I was hard enough to penetrate but would lose erection, and this, while partner was fully supportive and patient, would cause upset and tension, sex was not a pleasant experience. Now, fantastic, having fun with my partner again, have a fully hard and lasting erection. Can sometimes delay climax but not to the point of becoming a problem. Have had minor headaches and flushing but nothing major, I can find it difficult to orgasm, as I mentioned above, but again it's just being patient. My relationship is fantastic now, and I feel like a proper man again. As I didn't before. Don't want to have to use this forever, though, but will continue to use this for a few months. Can be a little frustrating in the sense that you don't always know when you and your partner are going to have sex, as obviously unplanned sex is more fun rather than being 'planned,' which can be a little strange."

Viagra (sildenafil) "Took 100 mg at night, drank too much alcohol and passed out before it kicked in. I was sad the next morning that I wasted the product and money by falling asleep. However, that next day (16 hours later), my wife and I had an amazing session. She loved my member so much she actually spent more time enjoying it, which made me really harder and longer than ever before. She climaxed twice, awesome. It lasts a day."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I hear a lot about buying Viagra and other medications outside the United States, and I can only tell from personal experience that it all works well. I get the pills for my dude from outside the United States for quite some time now and do not encounter any problems. It's just big pharma don't want you to buy at their source countries. YES - big pharma is producing in India and other third-world countries, brings it to the US, and all of a sudden it is so valuable and of high quality. Think again."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I am 31 years old, and I have been suffering from ED for the last 3 years due to me suffering from an overactive pituitary gland. I have tried Viagra 100 mg a few times, and I must admit the pill works 90% of the time. Makes my penis thicker and harder, and also cures my premature ejaculation when it works. Best taken on an empty stomach and no alcohol consumption."

Viagra (sildenafil) "Viagra works great. Take between 50 and 100 mg depending on the night's activities. Most of the time, I wake up the next morning with another stiff one. Two for the price of one. I'm 64, and the $50 price tag is too high anymore. Doc just prescribed the 20 mg generics. I think taking 2 or 3 of them will work the same."

"I took 20 mg of sildenafil, and it worked like a charm. There were no side effects. In fact, the pill went straight to my penis and nowhere else in my body. My partner had to go to the bathroom once, and when this kind of thing happens, my erections usually go with it. But not this time. While she was in the bathroom, I was erect, and I was erect when she got back. Believe me, this stuff works. I feel born again."

Viagra (sildenafil) "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)."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I'm in my early 50s and have found it difficult lately to achieve an erection. So, I started on sildenafil 25mg but this didn't work for me, so I increased the dosage to 100 mg. I found it best to take a couple of hours before going to bed. After some foreplay, I was rock hard and my wife and I had hard, vigorous sex for over an hour. I had an explosive orgasm and I was able to carry on until she came. My penis was bigger and thicker than normal, and after 20 minutes, I was rock hard again, and we had sex again. I found it difficult to reach orgasm the second time, but my wife wasn't bothered as she came twice. We went at it for ages, was hard all morning, and we had sex on and off. The only side effect I experienced was a slight headache, but I just took some paracetamol. This medication has really boosted my confidence, and my wife is delighted. I have also cut the tablet in half lately, and this is satisfactory. Oh, and take it on a completely empty stomach for best results."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I'm 46, a healthy bull of a man, but I have been using high blood pressure medication for the past year. The medication has made my erections not quite as firm as I like and can remember. Viagra - wow. It made me as hard as I was when I was in my 20s. I forgot what that was like. My wife and I enjoyed the heck out of my magic blue pill."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I took Viagra 50 mg tonight for the first time. I was able to get an erection and maintain it to orgasm but still experienced some softness during intercourse. Not sure if I should ask the doctor to up my dosage. I did experience facial flushing and some sensitivity to light, but so far that's it."

Viagra (sildenafil) "My husband's Dr. prescribed 100 mg of Viagra, and we paid $230 for 5 pills. Last night was the second time my husband took it, and for the second time, it did not work! He is diabetic and uses an insulin pump, we don't know if that has any bearing on the Viagra. Is this common?"

"Viagra (the brand) worked just fine (100 mg). This sildenafil generic drug has all the effect of taking chalk. AM, PM, before meal, after meal, has absolutely no effect. I've considered sending it for pharmacologic testing. Absolutely worthless, and bottoms out my glucose as well, so not only may it be ineffective, it may be dangerous to diabetics."

"50 yrs old. ED started mid 40's. Tried Cialis - sometimes worked. Got this and WHAM! Took a test dose of 60 mg and did not tell my g/f because that night - I wanted to make sure it worked. 2 hours later BAM! I stopped her from making dinner and led her in the bedroom. Haven't had that stamina since I was in my 20's! Needless to say, we are both smiling and glad a generic form of Viagra is now available. YAY!!!!! is all I can say. I was about to give up and live a life of no sex - which was not an option for me."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I am a 61-year-old male having trouble getting erections. I take 50 mg of Viagra, it works great for me. I get hard the first time, and it feels great. I get another erection later but cannot ejaculate. I have to wait a few days in between. But it is worth getting erections like in my 20s again. Thank you, my confidence is back. Enjoy sex again."

"I am able to get 60 20 mg tablets for under $30. I typically take 60 mg (3 tablets) an hour before sex. It works best if taken on an empty stomach. I get acute nasal congestion when using this medication, which is easily treated with an over-the-counter decongestant spray. This medication has improved my sex life and my self-worth. Highly recommended!"

"My husband is 55 years old, and a month ago, he was having problems with ED. He was with his primary doctor and was given sildenafil, it is working wonderfully. He has only taken it 3 times, and in the 24 hours after he has taken one, we had sex 5 times."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I'm 48, and it makes me feel 20 again 'down there.' I take 25 mg on an empty stomach, pre-dissolved in water, and it works in 10 minutes. Side effects have been very mild: stuffy nose and an occasional light headache. It allows me to be very effective for about 4 to 6 hours with a quick recovery time. This is a great medicine, but don't overuse it. Taking it every day is not as sweet as once or twice a week."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I have been using Viagra for about 2 weeks. I previously was taking 5 mg Cialis for daily use for about a year. That was great at first, but firmness tended to be not as strong at times. My doctor gave me 50 mg Viagra samples, and my wife and I could tell a big difference! It is more expensive, but you could buy the 100 mg pills and cut them into halves or even quarters. I am over 50 and have great sex with my wife at least 3 to 4 times weekly. Stay away from the fake stuff. I am very thankful to the doctors who made these medications available in my generation! When I think about it, my sex life is greater now than when I was 20!"

"I never would have thought I would need this medication. After dealing with a lot of stress between work and home, it makes my life a whole lot easier. I first had the problem 5 months ago, and I didn’t know what to do. I would sometimes not be able to get an erection, and my partner was patient with me, but I didn’t want to disappoint her. So I talked to my doctor, and he prescribed 100 mg Viagra, the best decision of my life. My erections are very long-lasting, and my partner is well satisfied. It helps me with my anxiety and makes me feel more like a man. I would recommend this drug to anyone."

Viagra (sildenafil) "After my divorce 1 year ago, I just decided to start dating again. I'm 46, in good health. A week ago, after a couple of dates with my current girlfriend, we decided to take our relationship to the next level. Unfortunately, I couldn't perform as we expected, not able to sustain my erection for her to come. I went to my doctor, and he prescribed 4 pills, 100 mg for 12 USD. I made a dry test before, so this Wednesday night, I took half a pill. After one hour, I started to feel a little blush. I tested the pill, and not much difference, so I took the other half. After another 30 min, what a difference, but next morning, big headache. This Friday, I took half a pill and 500 mg paracetamol, wow, no headaches, multiorgasmic girlfriend happy."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I started with 100, then cut them in half. Last night I tried half of the 50. Found that 25 mg worked even better. I am in my 70s, and the milder dose gave little flushing and no headache. Much cheaper when you get 4 for 1."
