For Erectile Dysfunction "Viagra costs about $49 for a 50 mg tablet. A 20 mg tab of Sildenafil purchased with a legit coupon brought the cost to about $0.66 a tablet. Works as well as a 50 mg cut in half. For about $68 received 90 tablets. Why would anyone pay for Viagra when it is the same as Sildenafil? I am a 66 y/o with a happy wife. I just needed a little help and this did it for me without breaking the bank."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Having struggled for about 12 months to maintain an erection, my doctor recommended Viagra. Wow, minimal side effects - occasional headache, but that's because blood is rushing away from my head. The erections are like when I was 20. It takes effect after about 30 minutes, and my wife only needs to look at me, and I get hard. It's not lasting any longer, but the beauty is I can get hard 4 or 5 times over 3 to 5 hours, and again in the morning. We are in our late 40s, but we feel like 20-year-olds."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 81 and have been taking Viagra for almost 4 years. I take 50 mg at a time, and it still gives the required results with no side effects. Would highly recommend it for older guys (70+). If your sex session requires about 30 minutes of great erection and a pulsating ejaculation, think no further. I will continue to take Viagra for as long as possible."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Currently 58, diagnosed with enlarged prostate 25 years ago. Never had any issues until the past few years. Probably a combination of age, weight gain, and not exercising as much as I should. This led to performance issues and firmness problems. Was given 50 mg sample pack by doctor, cut them in half to ease into the drug. Found that 25 mg 30 minutes to an hour before sex was perfect. Took me back to when I was 20 years old, no more having to rush through before things 'deflated'. Was able to last as long as I wanted. Only issue I had was slight soreness in my legs at first, but nothing serious. Highly recommend !"

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Suffering from mild ED, stress-related. Took 25mg. Mood wasn't there, and it didn't work as I thought it would. Fell asleep, woke 2 hours later, and noticed a full feeling. Two minutes later, it was on. I was pleasantly surprised, realized there has to be stimulation for it to work right, just thinking won't make it happen. Very happy with the results. After the first round, my wife just touched it, and boom, it was on again. Been a long time since that happened! Remember, if you take this, mood alone won't work. Get in there and have fun, it will work!"

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I started having trouble getting and maintaining an erection so I asked my doctor about the problem. He prescribed Viagra, and it works great. One hour after taking 50mg, I get a beautiful erection, sensitivity is good, climax is wonderful. My wife loves it and climaxes every time, sometimes twice. Side effects can be a flushed skin about an hour in and sometimes a bit of a headache (not severe, but there). Two aspirin fix things. Wonderful product. Happy wife, happy life!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 53, and I have been using Viagra for two years. The first time I used it, I took a 100 mg tablet. The erection was rock hard, and the sex was long-lasting with my wife, who orgasmed twice. But I couldn't reach orgasm, even though I was rock hard. I had flushing in my face and a slight headache. My erection lasted a couple of hours but I couldn't orgasm. I now take 25-50 mg to reduce the long erection time, but I often don't feel stimulated enough to orgasm. I'm wondering if other men have this reaction as well."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am 46 and found that I was not consistently staying hard after prolonged sex or masturbating. My recovery time after orgasm seemed like days. I am not on any other medication, very active, and eat healthy. I also do not smoke or drink alcohol. I decided to bring it up and get a sample. I was pleasantly surprised! I did get a flush feeling that went away. Also, I might get a slight headache the next morning but can be cleared up by taking something. However, the benefits were solid erections when turned on. It also lasts, like others mentioned, into the next day but not as strong. Again, you must be turned on for this to work. If you are not attracted, in the mood, or desensitized/overworked then it may not work well."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "In my late 50s, erections had become unreliable during intercourse. As erections became more difficult to maintain, anxiety grew. Talking to my doctor made me realize I was not the only man suffering from this at this age. Viagra was prescribed. I use the 50 mg and am now able to have great sex again and maintain a great erection. Side effects - hot, flushed skin, a little blurry vision - for a short while - worth the benefits. If taken at night, by the next morning it still has an effect - with stimulation you can enjoy again! My wife was amazed at how hard and long lasting erections are. We totally enjoy using Viagra and our sex life is back!"

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Viagra has been an absolute miracle for me. For a while before I started taking it, I was having trouble getting and maintaining strong erections. The best I could manage was a 'semi' where my penis would get to around 60% hardness. Erectile dysfunction is difficult to deal with for men of any age, especially so when you are in your 20s (I'm 24) and are supposed to be at your peak sexually. I'm using the 25mg Pfizer tablets, and they work amazingly well. No side effects. I now have very strong and rock hard erections. I'm a much happier and relaxed man now. It is quite expensive, but they are worth every penny."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "My husband suffers from erectile dysfunction occasionally, which is mainly due to his anxiety. He was prescribed Viagra and takes 12.5mg with water and on an empty stomach. After about 1 hour, he gets a great erection which lasts for about 45 minutes. This is great for both of us. The side effects he experiences are a mild headache and nasal congestion, which lasts for about 6 hours. I would highly recommend this medication but would suggest taking time to find the best dosage to suit individual needs. We will continue with our current low dosage as this works very well for us."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am 62 and on medicine for high blood pressure. About 4 months ago, I could no longer get a hard erection to have sex. I had the talk with my doctor, and I was surprised. No problem, he would give me a prescription for Viagra. I took the first 25mg tablet, and within 30 minutes, I had a very hard erection. It was such a relief to now know I am capable of having sex again."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I was curious about Viagra for a few years every time my doctor asked if 'everything is still working.' I finally asked for a prescription and wish I had asked sooner. My wife and I are in mid-60s, and Viagra is making me totally dependable in the bedroom again, several times per week. Wife cuts 100 mg pills into quarters, which makes the cost bearable. Planning a session ahead of time adds to the excitement. It is great to be rock-hard again, and my climaxes are more intense. No side effects, except increased sensitivity to sunlight and a bluish tint. I highly recommend it to any guy who thinks he needs help."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Was struggling to maintain an erection for 3 months, took 50mg of Viagra, worked in under an hour and it worked, despite the fact I was very anxious. Only tried it 3 times but it works every time. It's gold and my erections were rock hard. My girlfriend said I was better than ever. Thank you Viagra for saving me. Side effects, headache but only once."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I cut one 50mg tablet in half and tried as an experiment, and I was able to obtain and keep an erection. I had no side effects. It was so nice to have a stiff erection. Although the 50mg tablets worked, I would get some of the side effects... not unbearable. I tried 12.5mg, and I could tell I was getting an erection, but the sensation did not seem to last as long."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 71 and have used ED drugs now for 15 years. Last year, when the drug companies raised and jacked the price of a 100 MG Viagra tablet up to $50, I went looking for alternatives. I found Revalto was the exact same drug as Sildenafil Citrate, only in 20 MG tablets, so I talked to my doctor, and he wrote me a prescription for 10 of them, which only cost me $3.25. I had been taking the 100 MG Viagra, so I took 5 of the 20 MG tablets the first time I tried them, and that worked like magic again. Over the past year, I've found out that 3 of those 20 MG tablets work fine, and the only difference I see is they work MUCH FASTER (20 minutes for me), so adjust your 'session' accordingly! And 3 of those only cost 95 cents!!! ;-)"

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I was having erectile dysfunction problems with my new partner, tried Cialis to no effect then was prescribed 100mg Viagra. Although expensive, it was well worth it! I now get erections like I did when I was 20 (I'm 47)! If you have erectile dysfunction, get to your doctor, and get them prescribed, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!"

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Viagra was found to work for me after 2 hours and lasts up to 16 hours. It is better to take it half an hour before dinner so it can digest before you eat and doesn't get mixed with food for better results. At first, I took it 30 minutes before scheduled intercourse, and nothing happened. Later, I experienced good results when taken before dinner at night. The timing can be flexible, as it lasts for 6 hours according to the manufacturer, but for me, it's up to 26 hours. It is best to take it 2 hours before bedtime, and don't worry about the erection, it will not be automatic. Erections happen only after stimulation. Great pill, thanks for restoring my sexual life."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Had problems keeping hard for sex, tried a 50 mg dose of sildenafil, and within an hour, was rock hard. Sex lasted a lot longer as well, and was able to reperform another two times before both my partner and I were knackered. Woke up in the morning and was ready to go again. Didn't feel any side effects at all, so must say very good product and has certainly improved my sex life with my partner."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I have been taking sildenafil for about 2 months. I have tried to follow all the instructions. The first time I tried 40 mgs and got a fairly good erection, firm but not really hard. Then I went up to 60 mgs, about the same results, maybe less. I went up to 80 mgs and had so-so erections, firm but not really hard. I went to 100 and have had better erections, but still not hard, and I always feel like I am about to lose it."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I turned 50 and found I had difficulty in obtaining a good erection. My wife suggested we give Viagra a try, and I was prescribed 50 mg tablets. I tried one the first night, and within 45 minutes, I felt flushed and very excited. I went to the bathroom, and after a little coaxing, I came out with the biggest erection I had for years, much to my wife's pleasure. The climax was very intense, and I was able to get erect again shortly afterwards. I used three tablets in two weeks, and there was satisfaction for both myself and my wife every time."

For Erectile Dysfunction "59 years old and have reduced to having sex maybe 2 times a month. I wasn’t able to maintain an erect penis long enough to penetrate my spouse. It became very frustrating, and I put up with it too long. I tried some herbal stuff, and it wasn’t the answer. Finally, this month at my yearly exam, I told my doctor that I was struggling some. He prescribed 50 mg tablets. The first time we had some fabulous sex, and I was as hard as in my youth. Woke her back up at 2:00 am for some more. The next morning, I was still getting aroused. We are on our 5th pill this month, and all nights have been fabulous. Wish now I would have said something to my doctor two years ago."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Just used Viagra 50mg tablet for the first time. I'm 43 and during sex, my erection can soften. Results were amazing, hard erection all night and in the morning, wife and I very happy, had slight flu-like symptoms later on. No headache and nothing serious. Would recommend and advise to buy branded tablets. I took Pfizer."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I have taken many sedatives for years and this finally took its toll on my sex life. I noticed it a few months ago, had the talk with my Dr. He gave me 100mg of Viagra. It definitely does the trick. I get a little sweaty and can feel my heart race, but it makes me feel like a man again! My wife will call ahead to make sure I'm prepared, so I guess she's enjoying this too."
