Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I had tried Viagra without any positive results before my doctor switched me to Cialis (20 mg) tablets. I take one tablet, usually an hour to 3 hours before intercourse. What a difference this has truly made in our lives. We had gone two plus years without real sex, mostly just foreplay. Now, with Cialis, I am rock hard like my younger days and can go for hours. I always wake up with a pitched tent the next morning. Sometimes I do wake up with a mild headache as a side effect, but that is really all."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Terrific supplement to increase blood flow. I order 20 mg pills and break them into 10 mg halves. I do have to pop a couple of Ibuprofen, as Cialis does give me a headache. The only other negative is to make sure your spouse or girlfriend is in the mood before taking the pill. The last thing you want is to be ready to go without a willing partner ;)"

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I have used Cialis for over a year now at 20 mg. Effects take much longer if taken with a meal containing much fat. It does last a good 3 days, so you don't feel rushed to complete the act. I have noticed mild headaches the next day on more than one occasion after taking Cialis."

Tadalafil for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I wrote earlier that adding the 0.5 mg Cialis combined with the 40 mg Flomax gave me great results. But, the side effects (which a number of people have reported here) were a big problem. Bad backaches and headaches after about 3 days of use. But great results with urinary problems of BPH. So I had to quit the Cialis for a few days to get it out of my system. Then started one half of a pill, every other day, thinking that I will increase as needed. Well, never needed to increase. In other words, a quarter dose. And great results! Only get up once a night to pee! First time for that in decades. Also, although I didn’t have a lot of problems with erections for my age, 75, yes, it did improve that too. With just a quarter dose. And no side effects. I have been on this regimen now for about 3 months. All good! PS. Initially, my insurance wouldn’t cover Tadalafil, but my doctor called and explained that it was for BPH, and now they cover it."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am 47 years old and have been having trouble getting and maintaining an erection. I tried a sample of 20mg Cialis pill and was advised to cut it in half. What a difference it made. The pills seem to last about 3 days. The first time it gave me a headache but have not had any since then. My wife actually woke me up in the middle of the night, something she has never done before, and I was ready in no time. I have also been lasting longer."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Well, I’ve been taking this drug, on and off, for about two years now. I am in my mid-50s, and this drug has been doing wonders for me. I have mild erectile dysfunction. This just gave me the boost I needed. I take 5mg when needed. Within two hours, I am ready to go with my wife. Every time I’ve used this, my wife is like, 'Whoa, you took your pill.' The pill is satisfying for me and definitely for her as well. For me, the effects of the pill last about 24 hours, maybe a little more. So I can wake up in the morning and be ready again. If my wife is not in the mood early in the morning, I still wake up with a raging erection and have an amazing masturbation session. The only side effect is the occasional mild to moderate headache the next day. No worries, the good effects far outweigh the side effects."

Tadalafil 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."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am in my 60s. With type 2 diabetes, I slowly started losing erections too quickly and was losing confidence in bed. After seeing my doctor, I was told Cialis is safe for diabetics. I take one 20 mg tablet in the evening about 40 minutes before I need it. As it says on the pack, sexual stimulation is needed, but then I get as hard as I used to be 30 years ago, also long-lasting and a short recovery time after ejaculation. Even better, it continues to work at least until the following morning. So I am having better sex than for a long time and regained my confidence in the bedroom. And of course, my partner is delighted. The side effects are increased heart rate and occasionally a slight headache. But this, of course, may be due to other factors."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "27-year-old male. Cialis has my blessing! I tried both Viagra and Cialis for performance anxiety-induced ED when I was seeing this really hot 20-year-old girl last summer after not being intimate with anybody for a long time. The first few times we tried to have sex, I couldn’t get erect or only partially erect, and although she was very sweet and understanding, the embarrassment I felt was unbearable. Both drugs were lifesavers and great in their own way. However, if I took Viagra, I would feel the need to get down to business ASAP after taking it and felt I would need to time when I took it properly, which would add to the anxiety. It also gave me horrible headaches. With Cialis, I could relax, cuddle, and take my time. I was able to do it when I was ready and didn’t have any side effects."

Tadalafil for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "2nd day on 5mg started to work with rock-hard erections, however, experienced headache, lower bowel pressure. 3rd day, erections would wake me up and hurt! Leg/ankle aches, severe lower bowel pressure, like you need to go #2 but can't! Enjoyed the initial rock-hard erections but not at these side effects or $230 for month's supply! I'm 50 and work out 3 times a week. Not worth side effects!"

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Started on the 10 mg as needed about 3 years ago, and the results are impressive. At 63, it was getting more and more difficult to become and stay erect and wasn't lasting. The 20 mg had me walking around with a full erection without any stimulation, like being a teenager, but had headaches and stomach upset. Less side effects with 10 mg and almost none when using them cut in half. The 5 mg are still plenty effective for at least a day and a half. Cutting the 10 mg in half gets the price down, but still pretty expensive. However, I wouldn't want to be without it now."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "47 yr old male with type 2 diabetes. Wasn't getting fully erect and would lose erection before ejaculating. Very stressful! Took a 20 mg Cialis and was amazed at what it could do in about an hour. Rocked the wife's world once again. Only side effect was a very mild headache which lasted about 24 hours, nothing I can't tolerate for the benefits. If you are thinking about Cialis, don't hesitate getting it, expensive yes but you won't regret it!"

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am 70 years old. For approximately a year, I had problems maintaining an erection. My own diagnosis is that after a couple of 'failures,' the psychological impact was worse than the physical. About two months ago, my GP started me on 5 mg of Cialis, and it is like a new world. Not the sex I had at age 30, but much better than I thought I would ever have again. My wife and I are having good sex 2-3 times a week again. I only experienced some mild side effects (flushing, slight headaches) for the first couple of weeks, and then they stopped. I am a happy man!"

Tadalafil 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."

Tadalafil for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Take Flomax for BPH. So-so results with Flomax. Added 0.5 Tadalafil with good results in 1 day. By the 3rd day, had to stop due to bad back pain and headache. Have stopped now for a day, 35 hours since last dose, and pain is gone. I will now try one dose every other day. Will come back to site with results. Great to have all this info. Thanks."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "What is available in the drugstores here is 20 mg Cialis. I used to take one every weekend. I satisfactorily enjoy the side effects of headache and muscle aches. Just two months ago, I started to divide the 20 mg pill into three, i.e., a third per week, i.e., a 20 mg Cialis for three weeks. It has been working effectively!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am taking it now for a week, and the results are excellent. For me, it works at least for 48 hours. Now, I will cut the tablet in half and start taking a 10 mg dose and see how it works. Sildenafil used to give me a slight headache, but tadalafil has so far not had much side effects. I am taking medicine for both diabetes and blood pressure."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I’m 55 and have been using Tadalafil for over 2 years. It stopped working, and I was getting bad headaches. Then I found a review on here that said that his pills from Burel Pharma were junk even at twice the dose. Well, sir who wrote that, you were exactly right. THANK YOU!! My (well-known) pharmacy changed their supplier. When I got them to order from a different pharma (Teva), the drug was again effective, and the side effects were lessened. Unfortunately, I didn’t get my money back and have 3 unopened bottles of useless pills."

Tadalafil 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."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Fabulous drug. Never used anything like this before. Have had erections any 19-year-old would be proud of. Side effects: girlfriend that wanted sex now says enough. Along with some slight headaches, nasal congestion, and flushing of the face. All well worth the results."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 75 and have been taking high blood pressure medicine for about 7 years. About 5 years ago, I started to experience problems maintaining an erection during intercourse. At that time, I started taking Cialis (10 mg), and it worked for me right away. However, about two years ago, I found that 10 mg was not enough for me to maintain an erection long enough to complete intercourse. That is when I began to increase the dosage in 5 mg steps until I reached the point where I could feel its effects for a full 36 hours. I am now at 25 mg, and it is working fine. Its effect usually lasts 40 hours or so. Erection is hard, like it was 50 years ago. Sometimes a mild headache, but not bad enough to stop me from using Cialis."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 37 and would not classify myself as having erectile dysfunction. I was married for 10 years, was just divorced, and am now dating a wonderful sexual woman. I was not used to having sex daily. I found it hard to maintain an erection after 10 minutes of sex (probably from the workout). I'm 37, not 19, when I was 19, a wind could blow, and it got hard. That being said, I have taken Cialis, the key to this medicine is the daily use. Cialis hits you for 36 hours. If you take 5mg daily, by the third day, you have 15mg in your system. So don't take 20mg daily, or you will have 60mg in your system (overkill and not needed, you will likely get headaches and bigger side effects). Great medicine."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I have been suffering from ED for a long time. I was very upset, as anyone else would be. A week before my 52nd birthday, my significant other gifted me with Viagra. Though it worked fine, there were lots of constraints like timing the act, restrictions on meals, and the duration it lasted. And on my birthday, we tried Cialis. Believe me, we partied all night, it looked like it was never going to end. I had the best night ever. Though both of these drugs come with headache as a side effect, in my case, I vote for Cialis for its convenience. Though it's expensive, the return on investment is too good to weigh against its cost. Good luck, guys. Go back to your youth in this time machine-CIALIS."

Tadalafil 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."
Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I’m 55 years old and have been noticing over 6 months a gradual decline with loss of firmness before and during sex. My penis became softer and less sensitive. I’m on beta blockers (Inderal), which helps me with social anxiety and high blood pressure. After researching possible causes, I put it down to age and possibly Inderal. I spoke to my doctor about the symptoms I was experiencing, and he prescribed 5 mg of Cialis daily. This has changed my life. After initially experiencing slight lower back pain, flushed face, and slight headaches, which all went away on day three, I’m now able to have sex with my girlfriend any time, night or day. I wake up with regular morning woods and experience thought-initiated erections throughout my day. During sex, my penis is more sensitive and remains rock hard and fully erect right up until I ejaculate. Within 10 minutes, I’m ready for round two. Speak to your doctor, this will change your life."
