Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am a 50-year-old male who has slight hypertension and thyroid issues. Slowly over the last 5 or 6 years, I have noticed that obtaining and maintaining an erection have gotten more challenging, sometimes to the point where the erection is completely gone and having to get it again to finish off. I have also noticed some challenges around urination, weak stream, feeling of a bladder that isn't empty, and immediate urge to urinate. My doctor prescribed 5mg Cialis daily, and the erectile issues were gone almost immediately, my wife says it is just like it was 25 years ago. I also notice that it appears to be somewhat fuller when not erect. The only side effect I had was for about 3 days, my nasal passages would plug up, that is now gone."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm a 31-year-old male. Physiologically healthy but with a whole load of stress and anxiety. I've suffered from erectile dysfunction since becoming sexually active. Viagra was a big help but even at a low dosage, I found the side effects intense - nasal congestion and headaches, often so intrusive they ruined the sex. I've tried Cialis a couple of times now. At a dosage of 20mg, it keeps me in a state of almost constant arousal, complete with spontaneous erections at embarrassing times, for 30 hours. My dosage is obviously way too high, and I will lower it. But at this high level, I have suffered no side effects, amazing! The sex is very natural, I am really very impressed."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I suffer from erectile dysfunction and take one 20mg pill approximately every week. The effects kick in after at least a couple of hours and can last 2 days or so. I can quickly rise to the occasion, feel thicker and much harder than usual, and last for a long time. The downsides are the high expense, mild headache, nasal congestion, and temporary loss of the sense of smell. All in all, Cialis has helped me, and as the pros outweigh the cons, I will continue with the 20mg tablets."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I started having some problems maintaining an erection at age 56. I'm in excellent health, take no meds, and stay in very good shape. Getting the erection wasn't the problem, but it started to peter out :) after 5 or so minutes and eventually return with a lot of effort. Well, that's no fun. I actually have had excellent results cutting a 5 mg tab in half and taking every three days. I've had results up to 4 days between doses. This stuff is amazing. I've had no aches as some have reported and just a touch of nasal congestion, but since I have allergies, I'm always just a tiny bit stuffy anyway. If I wasn't looking for it, I probably wouldn't notice the congestion. Anyway, a true miracle."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "My personally experienced results using 10 mg Cialis 30 min-2 hrs before any sexual activity: 1) Harder erections (rigid) 2) Firmer penetrations (she noticed!) 3) Longer stamina (prolonged sex) 4) Stronger ejaculations (wow!) 5) Quicker recovery (ready to go again sooner) 6) Higher libido (sexually charged energy) 7) Better mental well-being (more confidence in performance) *All during the effectiveness time of 36 hours. Personal sexual activity: increased from 2-3 times a month to an average of 35 times per month! (“Successful conclusions” were 4-6 times for each dosage, in a 36-hour period) Personal side effects: 1) Congestion 2) Occasional back muscle pain Overall conclusion: highly effective!! I would definitely recommend to anyone with ED issues as an incredible option."

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 started this med for BPH, and it worked okay, still early. The extra benefit was the way it works for ED. First of all, there are some side effects that hopefully most can get through as more of an annoyance than a serious long-term effect. Yes, it will give you one heck of a back, or legs, or neck ache. I increased my magnesium and calcium intake, and that solved it for the most part. There should be a way to get past those aches. The difference vs. Viagra is that Cialis' side effects are very mild for stuffiness, flushing, and eye issues. Also, it lasts longer as Viagra wears off. You will always be larger flaccid and sustain an erection longer. I usually lost stamina with V during sex, and sometimes later it was back. Cialis, anytime you are aroused."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Forgot to mention that I have had no adverse side effects that others have mentioned. I already have some nasal allergies, so I was concerned about nasal congestion, but it has not happened. One downside is that I am always semi-hard; it never becomes entirely flaccid, so I have to wear tight underwear so I don't form a tent."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Tadalafil is really a wonder drug for erectile dysfunction. I take tadalafil 5 mg whenever I feel the need for an erection. I am 58 years of age but sexually potent. Whenever I feel a feeble erection, I break the medicine into four parts and take a quarter of it, but it works wonders. The problem is nasal congestion, reddish face, little headache, and hot feeling. This drug is helpful in pulmonary diseases, but as it causes nasal congestion, persons with respiratory disease feel more discomfort. This drug may be causing xerostomia also, as I felt. But I am not regularly taking this drug, I am taking it once a month or as and when I feel the need for it. The benefits are more than the side effects. Hope researchers will look into the feedback and amend the drug molecule accordingly to thwart side effects."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "So, after only 3 days of a 5 mg dose, I had to stop taking the tadalafil. I experienced side effects across the board: back pain, leg pain, congestion, and ringing in the ears. Pain and complications were bad enough that I decided I would resume taking Viagra for my ED. The blue pill is not as effective for me, but I experience little side effects. I am disappointed because, WOW, the drug really helped me with my low ED problems. Strong, long-lasting erection! Hopefully, you won't experience the problems I did taking Cialis. Good luck!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "Updated: I am 50 years old. I take 9 mg once a week prior to solo sexual activity for prostate health. Best results are in the first 5 to 36 hours. Erections are satisfactorily firm, but at my age, I still require proper direct stimulation and mental arousal. What I like is that during a long session, my body can naturally relax to a safe, partial erection and then regain full engorgement when I am ready for orgasm. Side effects are minor nasal congestion and headache during the first 6 hours. My primary care provider cautioned me to watch for a drop in blood pressure (dizziness) or an uncomfortable erection. My penis is quite firm during orgasm and ejaculation, and as a result, I typically allow a few extra minutes of post-climax recovery time while my penis slowly becomes flaccid."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Suffered with ED for years. Had slowly gotten worse to the point of zero erections. My urologist prescribed Cialis. The first time I tried it, results were poor: a few flaccid, short-lived erections. I called my doctor, and he said try again, as it might not work the first time. The second time was fantastic. The second time was almost as good as the first. The third time, poor results: only one erection capable of intercourse. The fourth time, even worse, fifth time, nothing at all. Switched to Viagra on the doctor's suggestion. Cialis side effects were moderate headache, moderate backache, stuffiness, and sinus pressure."

Tadalafil for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension "The side effects are giving me trouble, especially the headaches and nasal congestion, but I hope that my body will get used to them. I can't get my liver transplant without getting the pressure down."
