For Erectile Dysfunction "I have taken many sedatives for years and this finally took its toll on my sex life. I noticed it a few months ago, had the talk with my Dr. He gave me 100mg of Viagra. It definitely does the trick. I get a little sweaty and can feel my heart race, but it makes me feel like a man again! My wife will call ahead to make sure I'm prepared, so I guess she's enjoying this too."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Healthy, robust 53-year-old here... 50 mg works great but on an empty stomach. Slower and less effective on top of food. Reaction within 30 minutes, with better erections up to 9 hours later. Side effects: nasal congestion, flushing, fullness in head, eye pressure, sometimes increased heart rate and respiration. Poor sleep, next-day fatigue, and slight anxiety. I went crazy with this when I first started and took it every day for a week. Lots of fun. But it completely wore me out. No, it wasn't all the sex. It really does affect you in a negative way with too much use. I find increased side effects if I take it near the time of thyroid medicines. I take it once a week or so, and it's worth the side effects."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Works pretty well. I have tried Levitra and the quick tab version also with not much positive results. Nonetheless, I was given a prescription by my doc for this, and for me, 100 mg is the right dose. I can achieve an erection but have at times a problem keeping it, so this medicine will allow me to complete the act and enjoy it for a few too without orgasming too quick. It's a wonderful medicine that I can get generically (legitimately) and save some money also, so shop around. I have minimal side effects at first. What I mean is, 4-5 hours after taking it, I notice a somewhat rapid heartbeat and some head flushing also, but it's well worth it as, once again for me at least, for some reason, the side effects hit me later on than most people, it seems."
