Vardenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "68 years old. My problem was loss of erection in the act itself. Wife and I started avoiding sex altogether in order to avoid the congestion and frustration from unfinished sex. We were frustrated and angry all the time. Tried Viagra...headaches for days. Tried Cialis...palpitations (scary ones.) Levitra 5 mg works in 30 minutes, lasts 12 to 15 hours, well into the next day. Slight flushing, stuffiness, headache, but worth it. Major 'teenage' erections. We are doing 2 times a week now, not enough for me, but about all we can manage with busy schedules. While two-furs and three-furs are great during the night and again the next morning, second and third ejaculations are rare. Happy couple!!"

Vardenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "First time I tried this I was too quick to get with my wife. I only let a half hour go by. After we were together, I felt a bit disappointed. It helped but not incredibly. About a half hour later, after we made love, the medicine was obviously working full force. I made a point of waiting an hour at minimum before we got together. What a difference! It worked great. My side effects were flushing, stuffy nose, and a bit of anxiety (I’m anxious by nature trying a new med), none of the side effects could dissuade me from using this again. It is my hope to use this medicine as a bridge to better health and weight loss. I do not want to become dependent. If you’re having true difficulties, give this med a try. It worked great."

Vardenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Have used both Cialis and Levitra, both work really well for me. Get a bit of flushing and some dyspepsia with Levitra and less so with Cialis. What I love about Levitra is the rapid onset of action probably within 30mins but I tend to allow 45-60 mins for optimal effect. What I get is a really stiff erection of the sort I used to get when I was 16 or 17, and my penis feels hot and with more prominent veins. It is a great feeling for me and my partner. I often use a daily Cialis in 5mg dose which is like a slow burn, my penis feels slightly aroused at all times, with some residual tumescence all the time. Again a pleasant feeling. And from there I can get erect with little problem. Not as instant as Levitra though."

Vardenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Generally satisfied with Levitra. Some annoying side effects (congestion, facial flushing) but manageable. I have found it to be effective and helpful (I'm over 60). When I take it at night, the effects are still lasting in the morning. I generally cut a 20 mg in half which works just fine. Would give it a higher rating if not for the side effects. I am guessing it goes with the territory as it seems the 'big three' erectile dysfunction medicines all produce similar side effects."

Vardenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Due to tremendous stress lately, I was no longer able to perform as well as before, hence, I took it for the first time yesterday. It worked wonders. I managed to do it three times within a few hours, and each time lasted 2 to 3 times more than usual. I felt like I was half my age again. However, there seemed to be some side effects, such as facial flushing and slight head throbbing."

Vardenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am 57 and have tried all the popular ED meds. Having low T makes getting and keeping an erection a problem, but I personally like Levitra 20 mg. I can get rock hard within 20 or 30 minutes of taking it, and it's good for several hours afterwards. I had 3 orgasms within a 6-7 hour time frame, which is about what I could do at age 20, so impressive. Mild headache, flushing, and nausea, but not bad. Viagra gave me similar results but not as effective for as long as the Levitra. Cialis is a no-go for me. Bad leg cramps."

Vardenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "After turning 53, I noticed I was having some issues getting a good, hard erection to comfortably penetrate my wife. Sex is now awesome, and I now outlast my wife. I was prescribed the 20 mg pill, but use a pill cutter, as 10 mg is a better dose for me and lessens the facial flushing and mild headache from the full dose, and sometimes 5 mg works well as well."

Vardenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Experience is generally very positive. Mostly strong results with manageable flushing and head pressure. Not really bad enough to be called a headache. However, there have been a few times that the drug has let me down with good sexual stimulation. I have wondered if the drug interfered with orgasm, but maybe that’s just the reality of being 63. Fortunately, I maintained an erection, so I was able to please my partner (a lot), which was more important to me than my orgasm. The drug indications are that it can be taken without regard to food, but avoid just grapefruit. I am reading a few reviews online that taking it with an empty stomach produces better results. I may try that. Sometimes when I take it, I feel no symptoms at all, and that’s when I sometimes think it may not be successful. I’m wondering if it’s possible to build up a tolerance to it."

Vardenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "41 years old with mild erectile dysfunction. Tried the 10 mg with little results, did the 20 mg, and it worked great! Took it one hour prior on a full stomach, didn't slow down the effects. After ejaculation, it was still firm and could have kept going. After about an hour of having sex... felt flush and stuffy... uncomfortable but manageable."

Vardenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I must have a mild case of ED. I am 49, in good health, slightly overweight, vasectomy 6 years ago. My erections were getting softer and my stamina was nonexistent. I take a 10 mg dose on an empty stomach with water, within 15 minutes, my face feels flush and I get a nice full feeling in my penis. Sex is like it was when I was 16, multiple erections and terrific stamina. I find that when condom use is required, I have to use this med for optimum results. THANK YOU!"

Vardenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Taking 20 mg, all I can say is 'guess it is ok, when it works.' I have tried the top three oral medications for ED. I can say that when it works, it stimulates a very firm erection. However, I have begun to feel like as soon as it takes effect, I had better take advantage. I normally do suffer headaches, mild to moderate, and get very flushed. We also have noticed that the time it takes to start working has varied from 1 - 4 hours."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Have been taking vardenafil for about two months now. Works great, but always have nasal congestion and facial flushing within three to four hours afterwards."
