Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "On the highest dose and not really effective for me at all compared to Viagra. Unable to get hard, except occasionally six hours later, and then only occasionally. Side effects included headache and backache. Only marginal improvement over baseline, which would be no medication. Not worth side effects and lack of efficacy."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "57-year-old male. Maintaining an erection was sometimes becoming an issue during intercourse, sometimes being hard to start but then becoming less so. The issue started to become frustration and so created a 'vicious circle of anxiety.' Taking 5 mg or just 2.5 mg of Cialis just 2 hours before intercourse ensures a hard erection for the full period. Do not take at any other time. The effect of 5 mg lasts for a day or so. Can lead to a slight headache the next morning but nothing else."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 55 years old and in reasonably good health, but noticed I was losing it about 5 years ago to the point where my wife and I were having very little sex. I got scammed in one of those ED clinics, tried a pump (it was awkward and not that effective), and then I tried Viagra. While it worked, it gave me the worst headaches and sinus issues, along with severe flushing, which was bad for my complexion. Finally, I went and saw a good urologist who steered me to Cialis. Unbelievable! On 20 mg, I must have had sex 15 times over a long weekend, something not done since we were in our twenties. The residual effect of this medicine is amazing. My wife is a very happy woman."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "An occasional ED problem led to low confidence. I tried 20 mg, which worked well but had a headache for 3 days. After much research, started taking Cialis 2.5 mg daily with no side effects. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommend."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Been on a blood pressure medicine for the past 18 months. Like every blood pressure medicine, it could cause erectile dysfunction. Happened to me, so I went to a urologist and he gave me a 30-day free trial. I take 5 mg daily. Got to say, when I took it for the first time, side effects were bad for the first 30 minutes. My face got flushed red, my blood pressure skyrocketed, and I had a nasty headache. Side effects subsided after that. Had sex with the wife, and I lasted 45 minutes! That's like double of what I usually do. Side effects were a bit bad the first 3 or 4 days, but now my body got adjusted to it. I feel like I am in total control even if stimulated a little bit. This is a great medicine, but you have to check with your doctor first, especially if you already are on medication. Definitely worth it!"

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Have been taking tadalafil 5mg for approximately a year for BPH and has helped greatly. The only problem I have found is that different drug manufacturers affect me differently. Some work for me without side effects, and others give me headaches and ringing in my ears. I tell my pharmacy, and they think that I am just old and don't know what I'm talking about, just blow me off! There is a difference for sure!"

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm in my late forties, and for the last year, I have been suffering from depression. This made it very difficult for me to get an erection with my partner, and performance anxiety set in. I was stuck in a vicious circle, and things went from bad to worse. After a lot of research, I decided to try Cialis 10 mg. Wow... life-changing. With even just a little arousal, I was hard and stayed hard, and 5 minutes after orgasm, I was ready to go again and rock solid. I felt 20 years old again, and the effects seemed to last at least 48 hours. No bad side effects, but I did have a very slight headache, which was to me a very little price to pay. My sexual confidence is back, and I feel so much better."

For Erectile Dysfunction "After reading the reviews on this site, I approached my physician for the prescription and chose the 5 mg daily strategy. You will always be ready when using this strategy. But as a boost, when you know you're gonna need to deliver the goods for a sustained amount of time, I take two extra 5 mg for a total of 15 mg. You will be solid and at attention no matter how many rounds you require. Plus, at full solid girth, your companion will be amazed. And you can deliver a huge payload if your companion is into that. I do experience a minor headache at 15 mg, but nothing in comparison to the experience. My companion rode it for 30 minutes and then came back for a second round. I'm 57 and feel like I'm in my early 20s again. Highly recommend the sustained level with a boost when needed!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am a 55-year-old man. Well, after reading all the reviews, I would like to share my experience with Megalis 10 mg. I recently started having erection problems (over a month). I have been diabetic for over 4 years now. I started getting worried, and my diabetologist advised this medicine. I only took one dose, and I had a wonderful rock-hard erection. The 2nd pill the very next day, I had a great amount of sex with my wife. The only worry is how long I have to take it?! But thanks to the scientists who invented this wonderful drug. I had a mild headache for 1 day. That's all. I suggest everyone having this problem take this drug after consulting their doctors."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "No doubt that Cialis is one of the best. I'm 58 and have been taking the 20 mg Cialis for several years with very positive and long-lasting results. I've found out that cutting the 20 mg by half still gives a good and hard erection and alleviates the side effects such as headache, lower back pain, and blurred vision. However, I think that Cialis could be better in a softer form for a faster reaction (It takes a few good hours if taken after food and drink)."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am diabetic, also a long-time smoker who quit 5 years ago. Sex hasn't been right for a while. Got a prescription for 20 mg tabs. Read about the side effects and decided to try cutting the pill in thirds. Had sex three hours later. Amazing! Like being 20 again. Tiny headache for an hour the next day. Seems to be working fine on the third day."

For Erectile Dysfunction "After dabbling with Viagra and dealing with the unfortunate side effects of muscle cramping and headaches, my doctor gave me a sample of Cialis. I love it. For five years, I've been taking a daily dose of 5 mg, however, I space them about three days apart. At $11 a Cialis pill for 5 mg, three days apart always keeps me ready for action. When I run out of medicine, the one pill has an effect for about 72 hours. That's not bad. Recently, my brother told me about his experience with some generics he has been getting, and he gave me a link, and I tried it. Getting 120 pills of 20 mg each of Tadacip, the trade name for the active ingredient in tadalafil, which is Cialis, I took a single 20, and four days later, I’m still awake and perform with a powerful erection. At a cost of $1.20 for each 20 mg pill from India, I've been cutting them down to 5 mg and have now begun my 5 mg every three-day regimen at a cost of about $0.30 per cut pill or $0.10 per day, pretty cheap. An added bonus is it seems to slightly lower my blood pressure. At 6 feet, 210 pounds, and age 60, the Cialis really is a game changer, and I perform like I'm in my 20s again."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I’m 57 years old, and started having mild ED about 2 years ago. My wife has been very understanding and supportive about the whole thing until I finally decided to try Cialis. I started with the 25 mg “weekend” dose, and although it worked wonders, I had a pretty bad headache and leg pains for about 3-5 days. I decided to lower the dose to 5 mg Monday through Friday, and the headaches lessened about 75%, but the leg pains still weren’t getting better, especially my right ankle (I had surgery on that same ankle decades ago). The back didn’t bother me too much, just the legs. I felt tired all the time, especially at night. One month later, I stopped Cialis because I was undergoing sinus surgery. I didn’t take Cialis for 2 weeks. Leg pains were gone. Today, I took only a 2.5 mg tablet, and an ankle pain flared up. I honestly don’t know if there is any relationship between Cialis and my ankle pain, time will tell."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "42-year-old taking antidepressant that severely affects my ability to get an erection. I've been taking the 5 mg once a day Cialis for a couple of years now. Performance is good, but sometimes I would lose my erection after changing positions many times, not sure why. For all medicines, I am 'Mr. Side Effect,' and this one gives me pretty regular headaches and heartburn. I plan on trying something else in the near future."

For Erectile Dysfunction "So having seen our sex life become nonexistent (I'm 58 years old and my wife is 60) and masturbating only occasionally. I visited the pharmacist with my 'problem.' Was given 5mg tadalafil daily. Took 1 before bed and woke to go to the toilet with a nice bulge in my pajama bottoms and had a nice full erection (that had not happened for years). Went back to sleep and woke early again with a full, hard erection - my wife noticed too, so we had sex. This was great as my erection lasted longer and I noticed I took longer to ejaculate. My orgasm was intense too. During the day, I noticed I kept getting random erections, which my wife noticed. However, I did get a slight headache and stuffy nose for the next couple of days. So I dropped the dose down to 5mg every other day, and now no side effects, but still find erections at night and in the morning to be full and firm, so now sex life is great and love getting an erection and going to the bathroom to masturbate. Getting the dose right is the key."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Two words. It works. After years of anxieties, I finally started enjoying sex as I should be, minus any concerns that I will lose my erection midway through sex. It did give me a slight headache. But other than that, I highly recommend it."

Tadalafil for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I've tried Viagra and found it worked pretty well. I had some side effects, namely heartburn and headaches, so thought I'd try Cialis to see if I suffered from the same effects. I started off by taking 10 mg of Cialis, and after an hour, I had a slight stirring in the loins, but that was about it. So, I took the remainder of the dosage (10 mg), and it helped slightly, but was still less than I would normally get without any medication. Very disappointed, and to top it all, I've had heartburn most of the following day. I bought a pack of 8, costing a reasonable amount, to add to the situation. Guess it works for some and not others."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am 37 years old, and I have high blood pressure and asthma, and a history of kidney issues that required surgery to fix kinked ureters. I have tried Viagra and Cialis due to erectile dysfunction issues primarily from the side effects of ACE inhibitor treatment. I have had lasting erections with both medicines, but the Cialis seems to last longer for me-up to 48 hours. I have had Viagra fail me during intercourse; the downside of Cialis is the skull-splitting headache that I get after taking it. The doctor switched me to Diovan for the high blood pressure, and now I only have to take erectile dysfunction medicines every now and then. I think the Cialis works better than Viagra."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am 56, just got back from 4 months in the Philippines. I tried Viagra and Cialis. Cialis works great and had no problems. Viagra is good and maybe harder but a hassle waiting 2 hours after eating, then about 1 hour for it to kick in. I took Viagra one time on an empty stomach because I didn't want to eat and wait. My eyes saw everything blue/yellow for a few hours and a slight headache. I prefer the yellow pill 90% of the time but keep a supply of the blues if the timing is right with meals. I return in 2 months and will make sure I have plenty of yellows and a few blues."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I have for some time experienced ED problems when having sex with my wife. I am 45 and have had these problems on and off for the last 1 year. Some of my problems can be stress related, but I'm also sure that some are related to physical ED. I can get hard sometimes without medicine, but I can't stay hard for a very long time without help. I have tried Cialis 20 mg a few times, and they do their job very well. BUT they also give me a terrible headache and back pain, bad enough for sometimes making me ask if this really is worth the pain. I have started to split 20 mg into 4, which has helped a lot. This allows me to have great sex without the headaches."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I was prescribed 10 mg Cialis for ED. From first taking the tablet at 4 p.m., I did not notice any effect until I woke in the night at about 3 a.m. with a really strong erection. In fact, I woke up a couple of times each night for the next 2 nights for the same reason. Sex was really easy and certainly has done the job! The only side effect was a very mild headache during the night-so mild I didn’t even need paracetamol or anything else. Certainly, no side effects during the day. As a result, I decided to try halving the dose to see if I could make the tablets go further. I bought a tablet splitter and halved and then quartered the 10 mg tablets. Took the quarter tablet every day initially but now alternate days. Still works well!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 57 and suffering from premature ejaculation from the very beginning and erectile dysfunction for the last few years. I started with the 25 mg Generic Viagra. Its results were very unpredictable. Intercourse was unnatural, and the effect was limited to one intercourse only. Also, side effects like red mouth and chest, headache were prominent. Then I switched over to 5 mg Generic Cialis daily without informing my 20 years younger partner. Practically, no side effects, guaranteed and lasting erection, natural feeling. Thanks to this wonder pill, I am always wanted by my partner, and she looks at me in a new light. In India, it cost me approx. $5 a month for a 5 mg daily dose, which is quite reasonable compared to what I have achieved."

Tadalafil 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 have used other ED prescriptions before and have always had side effects like blurred vision and headaches. With tadalafil, there have been no side effects, and when taken early, it seems to last until the next morning, of course, you need some stimulation to help it out. Being on Medicare, it is less expensive than other ED drugs. (Physical shape: age 70, overweight, little activity, BMI 38, retired, 1-2 times a week)"
