Cialis (tadalafil) "For to take the remedy as needed at 20mg unit of measure hath my health restored in say seven hours hence dosing. As though young again.. Regardless, my wife would rather I not engage her while under its influence, for it portends passions not of her making. It's the drug that drives you not desire, she wails. Alas, on fire but forsaken doth not make love ignite us, though lust remains.. I shall hide it from her.. in secrecy our bliss.."

Cialis (tadalafil) "Age 68. I have taken Cialis for 6yrs. My first dose was 10mg. It worked way better than Levitra. However, 20mg makes me better than I was at 20. I tried taking the 5mg daily, but really can't afford the $337/month. The 5mg daily gave me the ability to achieve and maintain an erection any time. I now take 10mg every 72hrs. I get really great erections and my wife, 65 likes it. It works after 30minutes on empty stomach, but the full effect takes about 2 hrs. It works great for 36 hrs., and not to bad for another 24hrs., and just okay erections until I take 10mg again after 72 hrs. A slight headache and/or backache sometimes occurs, but nothing too serious."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I am 48 years old and have had a severe case of erectile dysfunction for the past three years. I first tried Viagra and experienced long delays for it to take effect, usually 6 to 8 hours after taking it. My doctor then had me try the 5mg Cialis "daily" dosage. WOW! Erections are now on hair-trigger alert, are instantaneous (even without physical stimulation), and at full attention. No more long waits (and loss of mood) for a medicine to take effect. It takes a longer time to ejaculate (my wife is not complaining). Another side effect is the ability to have multiple erections simultaneously (I'm not complaining). No headaches or stuffy nose with the "daily" Cialis."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I have tried Levitra, Viagra and Cialis with limited effect. I went back to my doctor and was referred to a NHS well man clinic and was prescribed Cialis 5 mg daily What a difference. Takes about 5 days to really get into your system but I now wake up with an erection every morning and I can get hard at any time even if I have been drinking alcohol or eating. "

Cialis (tadalafil) "55 year old, light smoker and drinker, reasonably fit (hill walker/mountain biker averaging 20-25 miles per week) but like many guys my age have added 15 pounds since I was 18. Started to notice difficult getting the little general to salute over the past few years, would happen, but took a lot of work. Investigated the various treatment options and settled on Cialis 10mg and wow, I am impressed. 36 hours later I'm still able to bring the wood to the party. Feel like I'm 18 again - 3x in 24 hours and could go again."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I've been taking 10mg Cialis daily for the last six months. I can't say enough about how much it has helped with erectile dysfunction. Erections are firm and last long enough for two orgasms. I've discovered something else while taking Cialis. I have been dealing with symptoms of depression for several years. I've tried several of the anti depressant medications but had terrible side effects. Not to mention, it made the performance issue worse. Since taking Cialis I've noticed my depression has all but disappeared. I did some research and discovered that some studies have reported that Cialis has helped with depression in men. I've got my life back and feel great."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I'm 53 years old and in good health but was finding that my erections were unreliable and would often be lost during foreplay before penetration. After three failures in a row I decided I had to do something. I take half of a 20mg Cialis and am ready to go in about 30 minutes. The erections are rock hard and I now have my confidence back knowing that they will not let me down. The pill is effective for about 2 days and I wake up with an erection next morning just like when I was in my 20's. I've been taking these for 9 months now with no side effects. Amazingly good medication. I wish I had got these years ago. They are expensive but by using half a pill which lasts all weekend it is well worth the cost."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I'm 6 foot 190lbs in relatively good shape. Smoke, high blood pressure don't drink alcohol. I have a very attractive new girlfriend 24. I suffered some performance anxiety the first 3 times. I couldn't get or keep it up. Went to Doctor, Testosterone levels normal, and he gave me a script for daily Cialis. After 3 days prep Anxiety Gone. Rock hard. Almost zero stimulation required. Just go and get some. Don't be embarrassed to ask. Its all worth it in the end. Trust me. Best idea ever."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I'm a 41 year old with all the stresses and pressures of a man. I took 10mg (I halve a 20mg). I do get some redness flushes in the face and a slight headache the first time I took it. The results are good. I feel like it helps with holding back ejaculation to some degree, I get a good strong erection and after some intense foreplay and sex I had my first orgasm. I was able to maintain an erection for another orgasm and even attempted a third! My wife wasn't up to it, which was a good sign that we had both had a great time. She wasn't keen initially on me taking them but as a special occasion I think she won't put up a fight! I have the side effect of remaining quite full and my penis looks larger in a natural state."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I take cialis daily 5mg. I have been on it for 3 months. I did everything in the book to help my erections from eating good, exercising, testosterone therapy etc. None of it helped my erections become stable and dependable. So because my erections were 50/50 I suffered emotionally and it made it worse. When I started taking cialis I started at 2.5mg. Symptoms were back pain and headaches for a while. It took about a week and my erections improved. Over the 3 months I moved to 5mg. Side effects are little to none. At this dosage I get an erection everytime and has not failed me. If you suffer from mild to moderate erection issues like I had. Don't hesitate to give it a try. Side effects suck at first for me anyway but they go away."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I'm 29 I've been on this for about 2 years. I get mine free as I'm diabetic. Sometimes it's very hard for me to maintain an erection despite my age. This medication is amazing and I've never had a side effect from it ever. Sometimes I could lose my erection if I had a lot on my mind during sex I would go soft because I was thinking about something else. Not anymore, I have 20mg x4 split in half. So I get 8 serving from 4 tablets as recommended by my doctor. This can help even erectile dysfunction from psychological problems not just physical. 10/10"

"Hi, I'm 76 and in great shape, 5'9', 152 pounds. I run 25-30 miles a week, lift weights and do yoga. About 15 years ago I started suffering from ED. My doc put me on 2.5 mg as needed. It worked! My erections were the best I had had in years. Well, 'as needed' turned out to be almost daily with my new lady friend. As I've gotten older the as needed dosage increased to 10 mg but it still worked. Last year my doc asked me if I thought the dosage was working as I wished. I said it was but at times I had to say to my lady friend 'Wait, give me about an hour.' He told me to start taking the 10mg every third day and if I knew we were going to have sex take a 2.5mg 30 minutes before. It's been amazing, even if I don't take the 2.5mg. With just a little foreplay my penis is erect like I was a teenager. My erection isn't bigger but I do believe my flaccid penis is bigger, even my lady friend has commented about it. I know I'm very fortunate at my age to be very sexually active."

Cialis (tadalafil) "Started taking 5mg about a month ago - amazing results! Erection is harder and lasts longer- when limp penis is thicker and ‘veinier’ - even the rim around the acorn head is thicker! Sex life improved immensely- thanks Cialis"

Cialis (tadalafil) "Amazing. Using less and getting more than I thought. I was prescribed 5mg 'daily' tablets with the advice I could break them in half as 2.5mg daily has also been effective. At $144 for 30 pills this would offset the cost but I am finding an even better sequence as others have indicated. I found a 5mg pill at noon, Monday works EASILY into the evening of Wednesday. And another from Wednesday evening to Friday... maybe longer. The stuffy nose ends after a couple hours so noon is great time to be over the side effects. Good balance between a daily low dose and a high dose intended to be ready asap. Only problem is now that I can at any time. I think I want to all the time!"

Cialis (tadalafil) "My Dr. started me on daily Cialis (5mg.) because of erection problems due to my blood pressure medicine. It has been a huge help! In addition, we discovered that it has helped significantly with urine flow and the urge to go. I now usually get up only once per night. Recently my Dr. switched my blood pressure medicine from Diovan HCT to Losartan. Soon after I began having even better erections. I read that the combination of the two - Cialis and Losartan - can be a big help to Diabetics. "

Cialis (tadalafil) "It really works. I take 10 mg within 30 min of sex and I usually have no problems staying rock hard. Usually lasts around 36 hours (the drug...not being rock hard). I used prescription Lily brand for a couple of years but could not afford the price. Tried getting them online for the past two years and it works great! It's made by a generic company in India but I'm still alive :) I read that a lot of generic US drugs are made there. I believe Pfizer makes a lot there. I buy the 20 mg and cut in half with a pill splitter. I promise you I am not a sales rep, just trying to help others who may be in need but can't afford."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I'm almost 56 years old and I originally started on the 20 mg dose of Cialis a few years ago, I hate to say I did not notice much, and my doc suggested the once a day 5 mg dose, I thought less, how will that work??? he was RIGHT. The 5mg does work most of the time for me! I also have low T and I self inject weekly, however, that alone by itself was not enough. the combination of the testosterone injections and the 5mg Cialis works. I have also discovered that if I take half a pill 6 hours before bed time and then the other half 2 hours before bed time, it is MUCH MUCH MUCH more effective than when I took the 5mg when I got up in the morning even though it says it lasts 18 hours, I have not experienced that. Also by doing it this way, I wake up like a teenager so if the opportunity presents itself, I am ready! good luck guys, this combination is the closet thing I have found to the fountain of youth! My insurance wont cover it though"

Cialis (tadalafil) "I am 53 and have multiple sclerosis and have been in a wheelchair for 10 years. I got married this year and needed something that would help alleviate my ED problem. I tried Viagra but it has a window that made spontaneity nonexistent. I tried Cialis and all is well. The only problem I’ve found isn’t with the med itself but with the cost associated with it. I get my meds from the VA and they only give me 4 x 20 mg pills a month, I split them into approximately thirds. Now the good stuff- 1/3 of a pill will last @36 hours+ and will work multiple times, full erections that last as needed. I have loss of sensation due to the Multiple Sclerosis so sometimes ejaculating won’t happen every time but the med works as intended. So Cialis, thank you."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I'm 51 and my partner is 47. He has had some difficulty with full erections on and off his whole life. For awhile now, its has been more marshmallow than wood. Things have declined. I encouraged him to see his doctor. As a result, we have just tried the very first 10 mg tab. Result? Incredible erection, great sex for us both, and most important - he feels like himself. He doesn't feel like something strange has taken over his experience. Nothing artificial about it. More like being restored. And no side effects so far. We are both very pleased."

Cialis (tadalafil) "I have like many men with ED, I have had anxiety and confidence issues when coming to sex. For me it has definitely been more so a mental problem physical. Getting a erection alone had not been a problem, just when the pressure of having intercourse was there was when I had a problem getting a full and sustainable erection. I took a 20 milligram 36 hour Cialis pill and chopped it up in quarters. I took 1 quarter of a pill Friday afternoon. No joke, I had incredible and substainable sex for the next 30 hours with not one issue."

Cialis (tadalafil) "As recommended by my urologist, I began taking the 20mg pill every 2 days. After about 2 doses, I began to have a horrible back ache and headache. I stopped taking it for about a week and the joint pain faded away. I reported this to my doctor and he recommended cutting the pill into 3 parts. Now I take 1/3 every other day with no side effects. Erections are strong and last as long as necessary. Also works for 2 days consistently regardless of how many times I get an erection in that time. Wife and I both can't believe it works so well and produces such 'big' results!"

Cialis (tadalafil) "67 yr old man. Long time Viagra user while married. Worked well within its limitations (empty stomach, etc). Divorced and no sex for 2.5 years. Went to Cialis 5mg daily since I started dating again. Good results with few side effects. I should mention I experience upper leg pain and I stopped. After a few days I went back to 5mg daily and no leg pain. Body adjustment I guess. I kept a log for three months. Here are my recommendations. Cialis 5mg daily. Cialis 20mg if you're expecting sex. Cialis 5mg might be enough but 20mg is amazing. That said, if you have psych issues causing problems, I tried 100mg Viagra with Cialis 5mg until they're resolved."
