Cialis (tadalafil) "Started taking flomax to treat enlarged prostate issues. The side affects of flomax were stuffy nose and extreme fatigue which I couldn't tolerate. Found Cialis for BPH via Google searches and it's been a game changer for me. Pee is easy now, flow decent and I no longer get the dull ache in my ball sack. I never had erectile problems but whilst using Cialis I notice my erections are very hard."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I fax my prescription to a a Canadian pharmacy and receive a 90 day supply. It is a generic and cost $30 per month. It works tremendously well as I found out when I ran out for a month. Now after a few days back on it I’m doing great again. I’m taking it for BPH but in helps me to have a stronger erection that lasts to climax. No side effects that I notice. I’m in my early sixties. I tried Flonase but it made things worse for me"

Cialis (tadalafil) "After taking the drug Cialis I had medium success but over the next 12 hours developed several back pain such that I could barely walk. This continued for several days. I took it again a couple of weeks later ... and the same thing! Have tried again over a period of several years."

Cialis (tadalafil) "Cialis 5mg daily has reduced frequent and spotty urination with no side effects. However it has done nothing for ED. I have not had a prostrate exam since taking Cialis but assume it is reduced in size."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I used Cialis 5mg per day for benign prostate enlargement from November 2013 until November 2015. Although it was apparently effective for limiting prostate problems, since I stopped it in November 2015 I am 99% sure that, as a person with zero history of epilepsy, it caused me to suffer from Transient Epileptic Amnesia [TEA] with the TEA during 2014 being unrecognised due to nocturnal episodes. There is also a strong possibility that my gradual increases in food sensitivities during this period leading to Irrritable Bowel Syndrome was linked to Cialis. This drug should be withdrawn right away for this condition."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I started taking 5 mg Cialis daily because of bothersome BPH during the day. (I did not have problems during the night.) After only a couple of weeks, I was better, and in less than 2 months, BPH was not a problem. I do have a somewhat stuffy nose occasionally, but this is minor. I consider myself fortunate to have seen BPH advertisements on television because the ads prompted me to ask my doctor about Cialis."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I’m in my 20s on this for BPH symptoms. Works very well, reduced trips to the bathroom in the morning from 3-4 times to just one trip. I’ve been on this medication for 2 months now. In my opinion it’s far superior to flomax for this issue. The added side effect of being able to go round after round in the bedroom is cool as well."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I'm a 50 year old with enlarged prostate that caused frequent NEED to urinate and a feeling of never quite emptying my bladder. ED wasn't much of a problem and if there were any issues it was most likely psychological. Within the first few days there was a noticeable difference in frequency and a feeling of emptying my bladder. No bad side effects. Just the flushing and "hot" episodes. I am on a few meds and I know there will be side effects for everything. I just see what is acceptable and work with it. Since my insurance will authorize this medication's use and the side-effects for me are pretty insignificant, I will continue to use it for it's benefits! Great med for my issues!"

Cialis (tadalafil) "After several years trying a lot of different drugs for my enlarged prostate I have now the best treatment protocol: Tadalafil 5mg + Doxazosin 1mg ((half of a pill) at bed time. And they also improved a lot my sexual life. Try it!"

Cialis (tadalafil) "I was taking the daily 5 mg dose, initially to see if it helped with my BPH symptoms and ED. We found it did virtually nothing to improve my BPH symptoms, but also that it was the only dose my insurance would cover and only if it was prescribed for BPH and NOT for ED! (Go figure!) I continued for about 4 years on 5 mg daily. During that same timeframe, I started experiencing brutal lower back pain during the night, causing sleep loss, and getting out of bed and standing in the morning became almost excruciating. At 68 y/o, I thought it was just age catching up with me. Well, when I recently ran out, I decided to take a break, partly for financial reasons and partly because I wasn't experiencing enough benefits in the ED to justify the pricey copays. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE and delight, my severe back pain disappeared completely in only a few days! What a hard learned lesson! (no pun intended!)"

Cialis (tadalafil) "Waited for tadalafil to become generic as long as I could. Price for cialis way too much. Found online and bought. I had a little back ache for the first day or two then no side effects. I haven't been back to Dr to see if BPH has improved, but way awesome erection and climax improvement. If loving tadalafil is wrong I'll never be right. I take 5mg per day by splitting a 20mg. I know this is not recommended but it is the most economical way and not supposed to split - it works great so I'm OK with it. Supposed to be generic in USA in 2018."

Cialis (tadalafil) "Works great on BPH ,doctor switches every 6 months from flomax and 6 months on Cialis .That way body don't get adjusted to one are the other. Side effects can be bothersome but worth it, cutback dosage to half every other day. Able sleep all night without going to bathroom often. Works great."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I've tried Viagra and found it worked pretty well, I had some side effects namely heart burn and headaches so thought I'd try Cialis to see if I suffered from the same effects. I started off by taking 10mg of Cialis and after an hour I had a slight stirring in the loins but that was about it, so took the remainder of the dosage (10mg) and it helped slightly but was still less that I would normally get without any medication, very disappointed and to top it all I've had heart burn 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."

"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!"

Cialis (tadalafil) "75 next year and despite gym work, young attitude, good looks and bod (for 74) prostate and ED have been real problems for some time. Tried 5 mgs daily for almost 1 month, and prostate benefits not too impressive. Depending on mood (psychological issue?) 10 to 20 mgs good for ED if not a bit mechanical. May trial again for a while though price here in Oz round $150 for 4 weeks @ 5mgs a day is no plus!"

Cialis (tadalafil) "I can urinate easily with noticably better flow when I take Cialis 20 mg for ED. I also take flomax. I tried 5 mg Cialis daily for 3 weeks but side effects became too much and I had to stop. The aches and pains were not worth the benefit. If I was an old guy with a young bimbo I would take 5 mg daily to satisfy her. 5mg daily after a week let me have erections on demand. I still use 20 mg occaisionally for ED and it works great and lasts for 2 days. I prefer Levitra 20 mg for ED because the side effects don't last as long."

"My husband was having issues with nocturia for months. He was getting up several times a night to go to the bathroom, which disrupted sleep for both of us. After some insisting, he talked to his doctor about this and was prescribed 5mg daily. Within a week, we were sleeping through the night and experienced some unexpected side effects. Neither of us realized it would have such an effect sexually. He never had any issues in that department. The "increased erection" side effect is no joke. Even he is surprised at how much bigger and harder it has been getting over the last month."

"So after only 3 days of 5mg 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 will 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!"

Cialis (tadalafil) "I'm 62 and was prescribed 5 mg Cialis by my urologist for BPH and mild ED. It worked very well for both the first day, but then I started to develop severe back pain so that I could hardly stand up. I discontinued for 2 days taking Aleve, but then cut the pill down (use a sharp knife) to 2.5mg each morning and that works just fine. So far, I need to urinate maybe once in the night, don't have the crazy urgency in the day, and enjoy erections and orgasms whenever I want to. Ejaculation is super strong and productive. Previously I had tried Flomax, but all that did was create more ED. Extremely happy with Cialis at 2.5mg each morning. Taking L-Arginine every evening doesn't hurt either."

"I'm 64 and have suffered from BPH for several years - the biggest issue is having to get up an average of over two times a night to pee. I tried five different standard BPH/OAB drugs, but at best I was still getting up an average of 1.5 times/night. Then my urologist suggested trying daily Tadalafil 5mg, which I have now been on for 4 weeks. Last week I slept through the night four times, and the other three nights I just got up once! That in itself is very positive, but the real added benefit has been what it has done for my erections - I'm super hard, it points upwards again, and I'm even waking with morning wood every morning. It feels like I'm 18 again! I remember when my doctor asked if I had any ED problems, I told him "no, I can still get an erection. Maybe it is not as hard as it used to be, but I don't think I need any drugs". I didn't want to be "one of those guys" who had a problem and needed help. Well, I am so glad he convinced me to give it a try - fantastic results for both BPH and ED!"
