Re: Give it a chance

posted 9 years ago

Doses spread out over few or several weeks. After three-four months or so my body had acclimated. I was actually surprised and pleased at the adjustment. At the beginning I had a pronounced flush that girls interpreted as embarrassment. Now I can do levitra or cialis with very minor side effects (I know I am on them) and still have plenty of "boost" as my urologist terms it.

Duration of (side-) effects

I get flushed face and runny nose with Viagra; they last about as long as the erection enhancing effects.

Haven't tried Cialis yet. It's known for longer duration of erection enhancement from a single dose -- "the weekend pill".

For those who use C and get the flush&|drip, please, do these last as long as the boners?
Do they carry on for the whole weekend?

If you don't use C or you don't get flush&|drip from C, please let us hear from those who do first. Thanks

When I used Cialis I got the flushing, etc. ...

...The flushing didn't last but the other side effects such has feeling stopped up (stuffy nose) and headaches lasted most of the day. I stopped using Cialis because it left me hanging (literally) a couple of times.

I get flu-like symptoms. Correlated directly with the pill timing, I swear to the minute. Can't use any of them.

The half lifes of medicine

I am just wondering when you talk to your doctor about potential prescriptions do you discuss the half lifes of medicine ,as well as, the side effects and intended benefits of the drug? The subject of half life of a dosage is critical because then you would have a definitive amount of time to know how long you would be experiencing the side effects. Next time you discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist see if this is the case , as well as, determining if there going to be any perjorative effects with other medicines that you are taking.

Re: The half lifes of medicine

Thank you, yes, I do ask and discuss for most medications. For V and C, the effect duration and clearance time and half life are said to be variable over significant ranges that I can live with. But doctors won't say anything usable about the duration of side effects, even for C given my experience with V.

So I'm still wondering whether, for others, Cialis flush and drip last as long as the intended effect. One responder has said so; how about others?

For me, for Viagra, they do and this is a problem (SO notices flush). A flush that lasted for days would give scope for possibly better excuses.

Thanks

Give it a chance

When I first started using Levitra I had a noticeable flush reaction. After I had used it several times (5 to 10) my body seems to have accommodated and I no longer get side effects. But the boost still works fine. On 10mg. When I sometimes use C, I experience barely noticeable side effects with good results. I still say Levitra is the most reliable and predictable. C seems to give a more natural feel but is not always as dependable.

Re: Give it a chance

Thanks! That gives me hope.

When you used it several times, were those times closely spaces? I only get to hobby every week or three, and I wonder if the accommodation would work that way.
