Viagra (sildenafil) "I am a 61 year old male having trouble getting erections for intercourse. Gets half way and boom gone. Dr gave me Viagra 100 mg take a half and works good tried a fourth of one does not work as well. Works well and no side affects. This has giving me confidence back and enjoy sex again. I have notice it takes longer to ejaculate and sometimes I never do, the second time around. Thank you"

"I took 20mg of Sildenafil and it worked like a charm. There were no side effects. In fact, the pill went straight to my penis, and nowhere else in my body. My partner had to go to the bathroom once, and when this kind of thing happens, my erections usually goes with it. But not this time. While she was in the bathroom, I was erect, and I was erect when she got back. Believe me, this stuff works. I feel born again."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I am in my 60's. I needed a small operation which the consultant said might affect my sex, it did and I slowly lost confidence. He suggested Viagra and it failed the first two times, however, on the 3rd time it was fab. Your mind is very much in control, you MUST not expect the drug to simply work by itself, it works only when you are sexually aroused by adding to the natural process already taking place in your mind/body. Take your time, fancy your partner and combine it with a little foreplay. With my confidence back we have slowed down our use of the drug and often don't use it at all... Tip: Be relaxed, be very interested in sex, give her a nice massage and it should work out fine."

Viagra (sildenafil) "This is an absolutely fantastic medication, has vastly improved intimacy and sex with partner, self confidence and self esteem. I was hard enough to penetrate but would lose erection and this, while partner was fully supportive and patient would cause upset and tension, sex was not a pleasant experience. Now, fantastic, having fun with my partner again have a fully hard and lasting erection. Can sometimes delay climax but not to the point of becoming a problem. Have had minor headaches and flushing but nothing major, I can find it difficult to organism as I mentioned above but again its just being patient. My relationship is fantastic now and I feel like a proper man again. As I didn't before. Don't want to have to use this forever though but will continue to use this for a few months. Can be a little frustrating in the sense that you don't always know when you and your partner are going to have sex as obviously unplanned sex is more fun rather than being "planned" which can be a little strange."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I started with 100,then cut them in half,last night tried half of the 50. Found that 25 mg worked even better. I am in my 70's and the milder dose gave little flushing and no headache . Much cheaper when you get 4 for 1."

Viagra (sildenafil) "Viagra works great. Take between 50 and 100MG depending on the night's activites. Most of the time I wake up the next morning with another stiff one. Two for the price of one. I'm 64 and the $50 price tag is too high anymore. Doc just prescribed the 20mg generics. I think taking 2 or 3 of them will work the same."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I hear a lot about buying viagra and other medications outside the United States and I can only tell from personal experience that it all works well. I get the pills for my dude from outside United states for quite some time now and do not encounter any problems. It's just big pharma don't want you to buy at their source countries. YES - big pharma is producing in India and other third world countries, brings it to the US and all in a sudden it is so valuable and of high quality. Think again."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I took Viagra 50mg tonight for first time. I was able to get an erection and maintain it to orgasm but still experienced some softness during intercourse. Not sure if I should ask the doctor to up my dosage. I did experience facial flushing and some sensitively to light but so far that's it."

"Viagra (the brand) worked just fine (100mg). This sildenafil generic drug has all the effect of taking chalk. AM, PM, before meal, after meal, has absolutely no effect. I've considered sending it for pharmacologic testing. Absolutely worthless, and bottoms out my glucose as well, so not only may it be ineffective, it may be dangerous to diabetics. "

Viagra (sildenafil) "Yes, I achieved good erections after about 40 to 50 minutes and yes, I could repeat the experience a week or two later, however, the side effects drove me away from it. Side effects: (An annoyance, blue tinted vision, lasting about 2 hours.) First; Migraine like headaches. No conventional medicines would relieve the pain, sensitivity to light, nausea and lethargy. And, the most disturbing, difficulty swallowing for about 3-4 hours!! I ended up switching to 'Levitra'. Only a mild headache and some other minor effects for 2-3 hours. Not quite as good of an erection though (80% to 90% as good)."

Viagra (sildenafil) "My husbands Dr prescribed 100 mg of Viagra and we paid $230 for 5 pills. Last night was the second time my husband took it and for the second time it did not work !! He is diabetic and uses an insulin pump we don't know if that has any bearing on the Viagra. Is this common?"

Viagra (sildenafil) "I'm 46, healthy bull of a man but use high blood pressure medication for the past year. The medication has made my erections not quite as firm as I like and can remember. Viagra - wow. Made me as hard as I was when I was in my 20s. I forgot what that was like. My wife and I enjoyed the heck out of my magic blue pill."

"50 yrs old. ED started mid 40's. Tried Cialis - sometimes worked. Got this and WHAM! Took a test dose of 60 mg and did not tell my g/f because that night - I wanted to make sure it worked. 2 hours later BAM! I stopped her from making dinner and led her in the bedroom. Haven't had that stamina since I was in my 20's! Need less to say we are both smiling and glad a generic form of Viagra is now available. YAY!!!!! is all I can say. I was about to give up and live a life of no sex - which was not an option for me."

I get hard first time and it feels great, I get another erection later but can not ejaculate I have to wait a few days in between. But it is worth getting erections like in my 20 s again. Thank you my confidence is back. Enjoy sex again."

"I am able to get 60 20mg tablets for under $30. I typically take 60mg (3 tablets) an hour before sex. It works best if taken on an empty stomach. I get acute nasal congestion when using this medication, which is easily treated with an over-the-counter decongestant spray. This medication has improved my sex life and my self worth. Highly recommended!"

"I am 64 with a stent that was put in following a heart attack. I was experiencing ED and was hesitant to use sildenafil until I had, in my mind, stabilized through exercise and dosages of medications. Once I was ready I started by taking a 25 mg dose (approximately, cut a 100 mg pill down) that had almost no affect. I gradually increased the dosage in 25 mg steps, each having more of an affect until I reached 100 mg. BAM! My wife was shocked/delighted to see it coming back up 5 minutes after we stopped. It was like I was 20 again! The side effects were minimal, slightly stuffy nose, lower back ache the morning after, (could have been from dramatic increase in using those muscles), very slight headache (drank a lot of water to cure it), flushed. None of the side effects out weighed the sensation of dopamine being released though."

"I never would of thought I would need this medication. After dealing with a lot of stress between work and home it makes my life a whole lot easier. I first had the problem 5 months ago and I didn’t know what to do. I would sometimes not be able to get a erection and my partner was patient with me but I didn’t want to disappoint her. So I talked to my doctor and he prescribed 100mg viagra best decision of my life. My erections are very long lasting and my partner is well satisfied. It helps me with my anxiety and makes me feel more of a man. I would recommend this drug to anyone."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I have been using Viagra for about 2 weeks. I previously was taking 5mg 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 50mg Viagra samples and my wife and I could tell a big difference! It is more expensive but you could buy the 100mg pills and cut them into halves or even quarters. I am over 50 and have great sex with my wife at least 3 - 4 times weekly. Stay away from the fake stuff. I am very thankful to the doctors who made available these medications in my generation! When I think about it, my sex life is greater now then when I was 20!"

A week ago after a couple of dates with my current girlfriend we decided to take our relationship to the next level.

This Friday I took half a pill and 500mg paracetamol, wow no headaches, multiorgasmic girlfriend happy."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I am 31 years old and I have been suffering from ED for the last 3 years due to me suffering from an over active pituitary gland. I have tried Viagra 100mg a few times and I must admit the pill works 90% of the time. Makes my penis thicker and harder and also cures my premature ejaculation when it works. Best taken on an empty stomach and no alcohol consumption."
