For Erectile Dysfunction "I got a three-pill sample from my doc, 20mg a pill. I cut them in half to 10mg halves. I have experienced the stuffy nose, slight headache, and hot flashes. But man, the pill really works. Hard as a rock is an understatement."

For Erectile Dysfunction "My wife and I are in our early sixties and having great sex. What I like the best about Cialis compared to the blue pills that I tried is that I don't get the stuffy nose issues. It is also great that if you take it on a Friday night, it lasts through Sunday morning."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Amazing. Using less and getting more than I thought. I was prescribed 5mg 'daily' tablets with the advice I could break them in half, as 2.5mg daily has also been effective. At $144 for 30 pills, this would offset the cost but I am finding an even better sequence as others have indicated. I found a 5mg pill at noon on Monday works EASILY into the evening of Wednesday. And another from Wednesday evening to Friday... maybe longer. The stuffy nose ends after a couple of hours so noon is a great time to be over the side effects. Good balance between a daily low dose and a high dose intended to be ready asap. The only problem is now that I can at any time. I think I want to all the time!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I finally worked up the courage to talk with my doctor about erections and asked for a prescription. I take an antiseizure medicine that has erectile dysfunction as a side effect and I am 62. The erection effects of this medicine are amazing. I split a 20mg pill into as many pieces as I can without them crumbling, usually 5, and let them dissolve under my tongue. If I take some Friday night, I am good for the weekend and have that fullness feeling throughout the day that makes me feel like a 20-year-old and have a hair-trigger erection when we are ready for sex. Stuffy nose is irritating, mildly dull headache that Tylenol takes care of. The first couple of weeks taking this I did experience muscle aches but these went away as my body became more accustomed to it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Love it! Was prescribed 4x20mg to assist my member who had become noticeably disinterested in sex. Doctor suggested I initially take a half a tablet to monitor its effects. I've tried Levitra before but it caused serious facial flushing, stuffy nose, nausea and a feeling of unwellness for a couple of days. The first day on which I tried a half a 20mg Cialis tablet, very little happened. The most important thing to me was that it didn't make me feel unwell. The following morning, I woke with a rock-hard erection. I took the second half of the tablet later in the day and that night had a full hour of sex with my wife. In the end, she was begging me to ejaculate as she was getting sore. It was a case of zero to hero! :)))"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 56 with high blood pressure and began losing the hardness. I looked for help. Taking the 5mg daily use, and it worked like magic. The first time I used it, it was as hard as a rock. I experienced negative side effects of lower back and leg pain, but it only happened once. Thereafter, everything went well. Sometimes I have a stuffy nose in the morning. This medication gets you hard and keeps you hard, it works in about 45 minutes after taking. Due to the expense, I take it on Thursdays to Sundays. You can skip a couple of days, and it still works. I even wake up with the morning woody. Wow, it's good to be back. Also, make sure to use the free Cialis voucher for 30 days of free pills to save some money."

For Erectile Dysfunction "This medicine is good for me and has boosted my confidence as previously I couldn't sustain an erection for long enough to please my partner or even to orgasm sometimes. I take the lowest dosage available but I can now achieve a long-lasting rock-hard erection when aroused, leading to a powerful ejaculation. My partner is also highly satisfied with the changes in me. The side effects of a blocked nose and headache are irritating but mild and disappear after a day or so."

For Erectile Dysfunction "It certainly works but I have experienced blurred vision, stuffy nose, and recently after starting the low daily dosage, I have serious vision problems and the eye doctor put a shot in my eye. Unfortunately, I am forced to quit Cialis in order to save my vision."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Started taking Flomax to treat enlarged prostate issues. The side effects of Flomax were stuffy nose and extreme fatigue, which I couldn't tolerate. Found Cialis for BPH via Google searches, and it's been a game changer for me. Pee is easy now, flow decent, and I no longer get the dull ache in my ball sack. I never had erectile problems, but whilst using Cialis, I notice my erections are very hard."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 50 years old and on high blood pressure medicines that were affecting performance. I split the 20 mg tablet in half per my doctor's orders. Cialis works great. Since I am not worried about my erections, I can enjoy myself more. I have noticed a slight increase in the time it takes to ejaculate, but I do not mind (and my wife enjoys that also). I can have another erection within 15 minutes of ejaculating. If I take the pill Friday night after dinner, it works until at least Sunday night and sometimes Monday morning. I have noticed that I can get a headache if I drink even one drink on an empty stomach. The stuffy nose is declining with every use."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I started taking 5 mg Cialis daily because of bothersome BPH during the day. (I did not have problems during the night.) After only a couple of weeks, I was better, and in less than 2 months, BPH was not a problem. I do have a somewhat stuffy nose occasionally, but this is minor. I consider myself fortunate to have seen BPH advertisements on television because the ads prompted me to ask my doctor about Cialis."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I have mild ED as I am also Type 2 diabetic (fairly well controlled). Talked to my doctor about Viagra and tried it. Did not like the headache, but did improve my erection greatly. He then suggested Cialis, and I take 10 mg on Friday and 10 mg on Saturday, and it works great. My wife is delighted. Quick erection onset, very hard, and no performance issues at all. Would give it a 10, but does give you a slightly stuffy nose and slight headache. Otherwise, I recommend it completely."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 41 years old. Smoker and diabetic type II (I exercise regularly and watch my diet, so my blood sugars are under control). I've been having problems since I was 16, and they have been because of a psychological nature. After a few months of dating a girl, I'd be okay. Started dating a younger woman and didn't want to disappoint her in case (like most relationships) she thought I didn't find her attractive. Tried Viagra first. Worked awesome, and the effects lasted for a while. Tried Cialis. Wow. Lasted the weekend. I felt like I was already dating her for a few months now. I did get headaches and a runny nose, but so worth it! Not good for quick sessions though. It's not the sensitivity that's an issue, you just want to keep going."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am a healthy male in my 30s, married. I'm a very busy husband and a father. I have a lot of stress and responsibility on my plate from my career and being tired from demanding responsibilities. I usually get an erection easily. But when I get intimate with my wife, after a few minutes, I lose hardness and my penis goes 50% limp, and if I don't get stimulated or reassured, then it goes 80% limp, ending in interruption or postponing it till another time. It caused a lot of frustration for me, e.g., self-esteem, confidence. Sex is one of the most important aspects of my relationship. I got Cialis 20 mg. It made me feel semi-aroused through the day and night, thinking about sex, feeling tingly, warm, and plump in the glans, sensual, even rubbing against my underwear my penis would ache, yearning for a good bj. I ejaculated 6 times in 36 hours. Mild headache and stuffy nose. The downside is the pill lasts a long time-can be a distracting feeling horny all day."

"Was not having any real problems, but at 50 wanted a little more kick, so I asked my doctor to try Viagra. It worked, but the flushing, stuffy nose, and heartburn were unbearable. So he gave me a sample pack of Cialis. I took a 40 mg while we were at a wedding, knowing that we would be having 3-4 hours of sex later. I had a few drinks and was rock hard all night! She came three times before I did. Then, the next day around noon, we had sex again, and it was the same way."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am a 48-year-old male in average shape, however, I do smoke a lot and was having trouble maintaining an erection. Spoke with my doctor and he gave me a sample pack of the 36-hour Cialis. Took the first pill Wednesday night and was good to go for the next 2 days. Took the 2nd pill Friday night and I was having sex multiple times through Sunday night. The feeling of being ready and able to spontaneously perform multiple times over the course of several days was awesome. The downside, I did incur the side effects of a runny and stuffy nose as well as moderate head and muscle ache. Was not enough to discourage further usage. My girlfriend, who is 36, by the way, was very impressed. It felt good to be young again. I have a prescription for Levitra but have yet to try it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I have tried Cialis and Viagra and prefer the latter. Cialis starts to work slowly (3-6 hours for me), and the erection achieved is not as strong as Viagra (80% vs. 110%). Cialis gives me fewer side effects like stuffy nose and headache, and it lasts longer (1.5 to 2 days). Just for the quality of the erection and speed to start working, I prefer V to C."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 56, with six stents, and suffering from erectile dysfunction. Took 20 mg of Cialis. No expectations. It worked brilliantly. Lasted longer, stayed harder, with a mild stuffy nose. Took two pills over a 72 hr period. Self-confidence, esteem, and performance is back! She loved it too."
