Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am 73. Been taking Viagra for some years with mixed results. Have a meal about 6 pm and take Viagra around 8 pm. At 11 pm, I do not have a great erection and it won't last, but at 7 am the next morning, I have a great and lasting erection. My wife does not prefer morning sex but will to please me. I prefer late evening sex after a bath/shower. I think the meal gap is not enough? Viagra seems to get absorbed overnight and hence provides a good hard erection in the morning. The effect lasts a lot longer than the 4 hours suggested. Maybe I'll try taking it earlier."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I have been using Viagra for about 2 weeks. I previously was taking 5 mg Cialis for daily use for about a year. That was great at first, but firmness tended to be not as strong at times. My doctor gave me 50 mg Viagra samples, and my wife and I could tell a big difference! It is more expensive, but you could buy the 100 mg pills and cut them into halves or even quarters. I am over 50 and have great sex with my wife at least 3 to 4 times weekly. Stay away from the fake stuff. I am very thankful to the doctors who made these medications available in my generation! When I think about it, my sex life is greater now than when I was 20!"

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."

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."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I was reluctant to take Viagra because of some of the reviews regarding health problems after taking Viagra, but I tried it once. I took the Viagra at 5:30 pm. I felt nothing until 6:15 pm. At 6:15 pm, I felt some heat in my body, with slight fullness in my head. At 6:40 pm, I met my girlfriend, and I took her to the room. I felt somewhat different in my body, I could hold the erection for a long time (previously, without Viagra, when I tried putting on a condom, I lost the erection), but now after taking Viagra, I can hold the erection after using a condom and can have good sex too. I had sex twice in that session. But one thing I have noticed is that the time to ejaculate is the same with and without taking Viagra, the only difference I felt is that I can hold the erection."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm in my early 60s and am suffering from the usual aches and pains from arthritis, injuries, and just old age. Shooting pains from my knees will make me limp during sex. I can't easily bring this up with my family physician, so I ordered from a U.S. online pharmacy in Arizona that charges a 'consultation' fee prescription that's only good for purchase on their website. I quartered a 100 mg Viagra tablet, and after about 15 minutes, felt a flushing sensation around my nose and eyes. Then we had sex like we were in our 20s for an hour. Only one star taken away because of the high cost. Can't wait for OTC Cialis next year."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I was having decreasing firmness and decreasing erection duration, but one hour after taking 25 mg, I had a long-lasting firm erection, increased sensitivity, and a great climax. Confident and great sex again at age 77!"

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I was 50 and had ED when I met this young woman, initially did not know what was wrong as I could not perform and had to abandon the act with excuses. A month later, I was prescribed 50 mg and took it an hour before, and it worked fine as we both had a good time twice in one night. I was exhausted in the morning, had a slight headache, and felt heat on the body during the night but was fine the next morning. Since then, it has been 12 years as I am 62 now, and I have taken this miracle drug of 50 mg every weekend when we make love, and it works great. Even though I have controlled my BP drug medication, the last 12 years have been great with Viagra. I only hope it will help until I am 65 when I would probably say goodbye to sex."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 33 years old. My wife and I are very active in our sex life. But this past few months, I'm having a hard time having an erection. Even though my mind and my body say yes, my penis is saying no. So I bought this Viagra, thinking it could help me, and I was surprised it really worked for me. It was really hard. I feel it was gonna explode."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 35. Had trouble sometimes when I was having sex with a new partner. Spoke to my doctor, who said it's probably not physical and to be more communicative to be more relaxed. Found someone's Viagra pills they left behind and decided to try one. Problem solved, and no side effects. Went back to the MD and was given Levitra (because it's in the formulary), and it works great too. I take half a 20 mg pill."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Works great for me. 25 mg usually is enough, but I'll take 50 mg if I've been drinking. With 100 mg, I can cut a diamond in half, but the sensitivity goes away. I get them online, which I found after days of research. I pay $1 for a pill versus $30 with my insurance, plus insurance told me only 4 pills a month. I get blushed in the face sometimes as the only side effect for me. The pill lasts about 4 hours."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I found it very effective. I maintained an extremely firm erection within the 4-hour period. Side effects were occasional runny nose and a tired eyes feeling. An unexpected side effect was increased blood flow to the area up until the next day occasionally and could get and maintain an erection."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I take 100 mg Viagra on a regular basis, and it is wonderful. My erections are not as good as they once were, although they are still firm enough for penetration and stay firm enough for a 'quickie.' When we want a longer and more vigorous session, I take 100 mg Viagra, and this ensures that my erection is very firm as it was long ago, and I can maintain the erection for as long as is required. My wife loves it and often gives me a pill when she is wanting a really good time."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Viagra is the only medicine I have taken long term, i.e., more than 2 years. It has really been a help for me, without it, my erections are much softer, unreliable, and of short duration. My wife couldn't be happier. The only problem was cost. I live in Australia but travel a lot for work in Southeast Asia. On one of my business trips to Thailand, I got severe food poisoning and had to go to a local doctor. He asked me if I was taking any medication that might affect the medicine he was prescribing me, and I just said the only thing I take is Viagra. He laughed and said I must be a rich guy. He asked me if I wanted to try Thai Viagra called Sidegra, it's really cheap here. So from that day forward, I've been using Sidegra and buying it online."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I've been using Viagra for several years, and have never noticed any significant side effects! Until recently, I was cutting 100 mg tablets into 4, as 25 mg was working very well, with no side effects whatsoever! I'm now 66 yrs old, and am finding that I need at least 50 mg to 'get the job done!' I can't complain! Thanks, Viagra!"

Sildenafil for Sexual Dysfunction, SSRI Induced "Because it's VERY expensive and 25, 50, and 100 mg pills all cost the same, I cut 100 mg pills into 4 pieces, though not with total accuracy. 25 mg is enough for me. For me, it begins to take effect in about 30 minutes and is fully effective by about 40 minutes. The effect lasts for at least 2 hours, and I experience no side effects. I suppose if I wanted it to last longer, I could take another 25 mg since I'd still be at only 1/2 of the maximum recommended dosage, which is 100 mg. It gives me an extra hard erection. I don't use Viagra every time, though. There are pill cutters available, which make it easier to cut pills."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 57 and enjoy an active sex life with my wife. In the last few months, erections were not as strong, and I had not been able to maintain it a couple of times. During my physical, I talked to my PA about my problem staying hard, and she said I wasn't that old and should still be enjoying sex and suggested I try Viagra. I take a half pill (50mg), and other than a flushed feeling (lets me know it's working), I have no side effects. With the extra blood flow, I'm as hard as I can remember, and my wife says she can tell I'm longer and thicker, so I can relax and not stress over it."

I was given samples of 2 other medicines, and they did not work as fast or as well. Just waiting on the price of Viagra to go down."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 76. Been using Cialis for BPH and also ED. Tried Viagra last week. Wow. Never performed so well. Took about 2 hours before sex. Had a great erection and lasted as long as I wanted to. Decided to climax after about 1/2 hr. of continuous intercourse. My partner was amazed and said it was the best! I had received 50 mg tablets, but I cut them in half. Seemed to be more than enough. Maybe I'll try 50 mg for comparison."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Started working within 2 hours for me and lasted for up to 12-16 hours. Gives me a really strong erection (100%). I prefer Viagra to Cialis because for me Cialis is slow to work (3-6 hours), and the quality of erection is poorer (max 80%)."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm a 64-year-old sexually active bloke. I had struggled for around 3 years after recovering from a heart attack with problems achieving and maintaining an erection during foreplay and attempting penetration during intercourse. My wife, who is 12 years younger than me, encouraged me to speak to my doctor about it, and in somewhat typical 'bloke' fashion, I finally plucked up the courage to speak with him about my problem. Being aware of my health status, he prescribed sildenafil citrate 50 mg, saying that I should start with 1 tablet on an empty stomach 1 hour prior to sex. We gave it a whirl recently, and WOW, what a difference! Around 60 minutes after taking the sildenafil (even after recently eating), I was up and hard with little stimulation."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am a 61-year-old male having trouble getting erections for intercourse. Gets halfway and boom gone. The doctor gave me Viagra 100 mg, take a half and it works good. Tried a fourth of one, does not work as well. Works well and no side effects. This has given me confidence back and I enjoy sex again. I have noticed it takes longer to ejaculate and sometimes I never do the second time around. Thank you."

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!!! ;-)"
