Reviews for Sildenafil

Viagra (sildenafil) "My doctor recommended that I print out the coupon from Pfizer for the 3 free tabs before he prescribed Viagra because of the cost. I was directed to take 1/2 of a 100mg tablet (which was easy to cut in half). Seemed to start working 45 minutes to one hour after taking. Worked well, but 4 hours or so after taking it, it wore off. Yes, was trying more than 1 hardy attempt! This went on for almost a year. Doctor switched me over to Cialis. Cialis has become my "weekend warrior" pill as it lasts almost the entire weekend."

Viagra (sildenafil) "A strong pill for erection but with some side effects. 12.5mg works great (strong erection) 30 min-1h before and lasts for 3h-4h. Its easy to recover erection but can be lost sometimes. Side effects (0h-4h): - Stuffy nose Side effects (4h-12h): - Stomach discomfort, indigestion - Sleepiness, trouble sleeping Tried Levitra, not strong as Viagra but some side effects. I'm now trying Avanafil (25mg) and by now no side effects (maybe because it PDE5 highly selectivity) but lasts only 2h."

Viagra (sildenafil) "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."

"Purchased 100mg tablets with the intent of cutting the pills in half. What I found was that the medication was inconsistent. What I mean by that was one tablet was the equivalent of 10 mg, the next basically a placebo, and the next 100mg. I’m glad I don’t need this as a life saving medication or I’d probably be dead. Absolutely no quality control by the manufacturer."

"Purchased generic viagra and took it on an empty stomach. I suggested to my wife we have a quickie. I got rock hard with a little foreplay and after entering her, she was amazed at my hardness. Wow, I could even have gotten it up again for a second round. I think we will like the results."

"Whilst this medication IS the miracle worker we all find very helpful, the most important ingredient is your female partner! I am 72 and my wife of 62 looks in her early forties, has an excellent figure for her age and is still a turn on to me after 43 years of marriage! Teenagers are supposed to think about sex every fifteen minutes and if that is the case then I am ageing in reverse. At our ages, we don't have trembling, earth shattering sex. Sometimes it is great, others about average and with the occasional dud thrown in! So I need this drug all the time? Nope! But if I feel like having a great night of sex I knock down a 100 mg tab!"

"I am a somewhat healthy 30 year old male. And recently, my doctor has prescribed me zoloft for my anxiety. It is a SSRI. And as you know, certain SSRI's (anti-depressants)may cause libido and erection issues, depending on your state of mind and chemical structure of your body. Well, unfortunately for me, time to time it does cause a little bit of an erection issue. So, my doc prescribed me generic viagra- Sildenafil 20 mg tabs. I find that if you take about one and a half pills it works like a charm. It works well with no nauseated affects or headaches. And it's ten times cheaper! If your looking for a ED pill instead of spending insane amounts of money on the name brand or sexual enhancers. Give this a go brothers! No.. this is not a fake review by the way. It is just the nick name lol. out-"

"I am in my early 60s and found over an 18-month period a gradual deterioration of penile rigidity. Having shared this with my wife of 3+ decades, I decided to talk to my GP, and a blood test revealed high cholesterol (apparently there’s a correlation between high cholesterol and ED). However as everything else was good, GP prescribed Sildenafil 50mg. I figured that for the first ‘test’ solo flying would be indicative so broke a tablet roughly 60/40 and took the larger part. About half an hour later felt that familiar stirring of the loins (you do need to be sexually aroused though) a subsequent thoroughly satisfactory orgasm later and I was delighted. Skip forward a day and rain had stopped work, we decided that it was time…. Again 2/3 of a tablet and after a prolonged bout of foreplay, discovered my erection was considerable and importantly my wife was decidedly impressed, sex was once again fantastic! After ejaculation, I still had a rigid penis, good news for my wife."

Viagra (sildenafil) "I was unsure whether I needed viagra as I'm a 35 year old man who can normally gain an erection. But the last month or so when masturbating I have noticed me losing my erection towards the end so ejaculation felt rushed and forced. My wife and I haven't had a great sex life and I think it's partly due to always having had anxiety around sex and losing stiffness after the initial excitement. I've only now put 2 and 2 together after my experiences the last month. Anyway, long story short after using viagra we just had great sex and I was able to maintain my erection so I could focus on my stamina. I took one 50mg pill an hour before."

"All I can say is wow. I took one in the morning on an empty stomach, as directed. I am 55 and have had issues from time to time over the past year. They say to try it by yourself the first time so you can see how it works for you. Keeps the stress down the first time. I was amazed at how long I stayed hard within the first 45 minutes. As the election went down, I was able to just think about sexual situations and it came back. I am very pleased with the results."

"100mg tab . Like many others after getting put on Mood enhancers I would have a random issue where me and the wife would be hammering it out then for no reason it would loose the hardness and the wife would be annoyed and turned into an issue. this only happened occasionally so I'm not sure what the deal was. It could have been a mental thing or worried that the kids would walk in on us. I talked to the doctor and she gave me some of this. The results were beyond my expectations. I can go so much longer, so much harder and absolutely no side effects at all. Except the wife is going to make sure that we keep an ample stock in our house. Amazing!"

"In Oct 2017 I had a leg injury that required some stitches. They gave me a synthetic painkiller drug called Ultram and then additionally gave me another drug called Zofran for nausea well I was on 100 mg of Zoloft daily. Painkiller Ultram mixed with Zofran mixed with Zoloft created serotonin syndrome which lasted damn near 12 weeks. Additionally gave me high blood pressure of 295 over 150 and hospitalized me. So now I'm kind of freaked out to take any type of pharmaceutical drug whatsoever and I check everything that may affect the SSRI and cause that serotonin syndrome. Fortunately that's not the case with Viagra, it appears that it's plenty safe to take an SSRI I take about 25 mg kicks in about half an hour, last almost a full day off and on and I get a slight headache that's about it good luck and check all drug interactions..."

"I have taken the brand name ED rx's, such as 50-100mg Viagra/ 10-20mg cialis, 100 mg Stanza but the prices per pill are prohibitive. I had the best result with 10-20mg, cialis hands down. They will be available as a generic SEPT 2018 . I have tried the generic form of Viagra, it comes on fast but doesn't last for over say an hour or hour and a half. It is much cheaper #30 pills, 20mg -$20, The maker of viagra are also going to market a generic version as well as Teva. I'd rather try the brand names companies generic since the teva are not that great in my opinion."
