Actually the clogged sinus is a problem for me too. That and the dry mouth. As far as helping with the stuffyness, what I use is Sudafed 12 hour. Don't know why but it works. Not a decongestint so I guess it shouldn't but it does.
I know 50 mg is recommended, but has anyone taken the full 100mg? This may sound crazy, but I'd like to know what the effects are?
No side effects. Actually, no erection without stimulation. Usually good for multiple erections in a multi-hour session, but I've had one lady just destroy me in an hour -- Viagra or no Viagra. I'm not complaining. It was as good as it gets and the sensations didn't quit when the erection did.
Viagra doesn't seem to help or hurt as far as orgasms are concerned. I usually don't orgasm (because of a back injury) and I never orgasm more than once in a session any more because of age.
For me the main difference between 50 mg and 100 mg is that the larger dosage lasts longer. With 100 mg I can often get an erection just thinking about a session up to about six hours after I take the pill.
I take 50 mil. of V recreationally about 5 or 10 minutes before the party is scheduled to start on an empty stomach. I buy 100's and cut them in half with a 5 dollar pill splitter available at any pharmacy. Sometimes can get 2 cups of coffee in 60 minute session. Side effects are soft headache, sinus stuffiness and bit of a dry throat. Nothing that would put me off from using it.
Haven't used either yet. What's it like, I mean I've read all over the place that it's great, but I have not read what the effects on performance are like, and what the side effects are like from real people.
I don't really like to take drugs, although I drink coffee, have a glass of wine, daily aspirin, and a nice Cuban Cigar on Friday evenings after dinner with a good Cognac/Chambord mix. Ok so the not liking to take drugs thing is moot.
What's the stuff like, and what's it do for your performance, I mean is there a measureable incease in uptime vs. downtime, uh, so to speak??
I take 100mg Viagra, prescribed by my MD. It counteracts other meds I take that inhibit erection, and it works well enough to keep me going a bit longer than I did pre-medications. Sometimes I can get 2 cups of coffee in 90 minutes-2 hours. I take it 1 hour before sex and alledgedly it has a 4 hour effect on your system, although I have never tried to stretch it that long a period.
For people that are taking Vitamin V recreationally, they generally say to take a 100mg pill and cut it into 3 parts, taking only 1/3 of the pill at any given time. Reports (there was a thread a couple of months ago) on peformance varied.
Bear in mind that Viagra tends to LOWER your blood pressure. If you have low BP to begin with, this could be dangerous. There are also other meds, which when taken with Viagra, are harmful. I'm not sure what they are, so check with the Pfizer web site for drug interactions.
Be safe and have fun.

I was recently tested and was told my BP was quite low. I excercize a lot. Frankly, that is why I started taking small doses of Viagra because it was not uncommon after a hard workout to not get wood. Very frustrating to shell out 3-4 bills and not be able to get your horse in the race. So sometimes I'll take 15-20 mg, 3-4 hours ahead of time just to make sure the pump is primed BUT...there are always those headaches.
Your BP will not go lower by taking Viagra, but it will when aroused because of the major blood flow you know where. Lower BP, I believe, could be the cause of the headaches.
Call me hypochondriacal if you must, but I would discontinue any med that caused a headache until I consulted a physician.
BTW, there is a side effect that I do suffer from, and I am told it's rare although documented. It clogs my sinuses and dries out my throat. I always need to keep some water and tissues around. I have tried some of the popular decongestants (Claritin, Zyrtec, etc.), with no real help. Forwarned.......

Whatever you do, DON'T do it without an Rx from your doctor!! There definitely can be health risks involved depending on your individual health condition & a possible reactions to any other medication or herbal supplements you might be using. And this goes not only for Viagra, but any other of the multitude of other products on the market..including the herbal or organic ones. I'm not a doctor, no medical training of any kind..but it only makes sense to me that if you ingest something foreign to acheive a certain response in your body, the might be some other undesired responses as well. I'd much prefer to err on the side of caution than to take even a slight risk with my health..getting my rocks off isn't quite THAT important.
Always get your doc to prescribe the 100 mg. They cost the same as the 25's and 50's. I cut them into 4 or 5 pieces (25mg or 20 mg), and one of those is enough for me. Some prescription plans will pay for 5 per month. At a discount (real) pharmacy, 5 only cost about $85 -- cut up into 20 doses, that's real cheap Vitamin-V.
I had one pharmacist give me some malarkey about how the medicine might not be uniform through the pill -- what bullshit -- they're just a powder pressed into a tablet -- if the medicine wasn't uniform, they couldn't make a batch into 100,000 pills, could they?
I've heard the same thing, namely that is is a real headache getting a uniform dosage in each pill and they don't even try to get it uniformly distributed within the pill. It sounds reasonable to me, but I admit that I really don't know the truth of the matter.
Thanks for all the input, but I'd still like to know 2 things about taking 100 mg, in general:
1) will I stay up longer
2) will I recover faster
If he answer is yes to these, I think I can put up with the headaches.
I HAVE TRIED BOTH 100 AND 50 IN THE PAST, VITAMIN V IS THE BEST!, WHENEVER I GO ON AN ASIAN TRIP WITH MY BUDDIES, WE WILL TAKE 100 MG AND MY EXPERIENCE WITH IT IS GOOD FOR 24 HOURS OF PURE FUN. HOWEVER, IT IS TRUE THAT WHEN YOU HAVE SINUS PROBLEM, IT WILL AGGRAVATE IT AND BE A PAIN, BUT IF YOU WANT CONSTANT FUN, YOU CAN DEAL WITH IT. ON THE 50'S MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IS IT WILL WORK FOR ABOUT 4 TO SIX HOURS. THEREFORE IF YOU WANT LONGER FUN, 100 IS OK, BUT FOR A QUICKIE ESPECIALLY ONCE YOU SPLIT THE 100, THE EFFECT IS QUICK I GUESS SINCE THE WHITE STUFF IS EXPOSED AND WILL GO DIRECTLY TO YOUR BLOOD STREAMS. I NORMALLY FEEL THE EFFECT AFTER 15 MINUTES. IT IS GOOD, TRY IT. AND HAVE FUN.
In a nutshell, the answer to your 3 questions is yes, yes and yes. For me, I do 50mg split in half at a time. Take it an hour ahead of show time if stomach isn't empty. Otherwise, 1/2 hour is fine. For me, it's like having a length of pipe between my legs. My control is better -- although I find it's harder to cum with a condom (less sensitive). Recovery time? For me, about 15-20 minutes. It doesn't make you superman, though. You need good company to get the benefit of the pill. YMMV obviously. Another observation: For some ladies, Vitamin V does absolute wonders. For one lady, it turned her from a shy demeure young thing into a drooling cum addict -- she can't stop herself. (Maybe I'll start a thread on this and see if this is unusual)
only take as much as you need. I split the 100 mg into 3 or 4 pieces (25-33mg). That's plenty for me.
