Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Bad headache. Kinda tough to get the dose timing right so she's 'in the mood' for the 4 hours that it's working."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "After my divorce 1 year ago, I just decided to start dating again. I'm 46, in good health. A week ago, after a couple of dates with my current girlfriend, we decided to take our relationship to the next level. Unfortunately, I couldn't perform as we expected, not able to sustain my erection for her to come. I went to my doctor, and he prescribed 4 pills, 100 mg for 12 USD. I made a dry test before, so this Wednesday night, I took half a pill. After one hour, I started to feel a little blush. I tested the pill, and not much difference, so I took the other half. After another 30 min, what a difference, but next morning, big headache. This Friday, I took half a pill and 500 mg paracetamol, wow, no headaches, multiorgasmic girlfriend happy."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 48, and I don't have any problem getting an erection, I still fancy my wife very much. The issue I have is maintaining it, then it became a psychological problem. I've been on this amazing drug now for over a year, and it works very well for me. In fact, I love the intense erection it gives me. Yes, I get facial flushing and a slight headache, but ibuprofen sorts that out. If nothing else, I oddly like the flushing now. It makes me feel ready... I started on 50mg and then took myself up to 75mg as I felt it was not as intense as it used to be. For me personally, it takes about 1.5 hours to kick in. I love it!!!"

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "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 orgasm, as I mentioned above, but again it's 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."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am 59 and have been using Viagra 50 mg for a few years now. When I first started taking it, I got quite a bit of blue vision, some mild headache, and stuffy nose. I've been cutting my 50s in half and taking them about 30-60 minutes before sex. From the get-go, I have always had nice, hard erections that lasted plenty. Here is what I found can weaken the effect of Viagra: 1) fatty foods - do NOT eat a big, greasy burger and then take Viagra expecting a big one... 2) alcohol - I can have a few beers spread over the evening, but any more than that lessens the effect or doesn't last as long as it would normally. My insurance covers my prescription for only $20, but I only get 6 pills a month, 18/90 days, so I'm going to 100s, still cut them."

Sildenafil "I'm a married 45-year-old Australian male of good fitness and health (BMI=25). Although I probably wouldn't say I had erectile dysfunction, I found our sex life non-existent and found after only one very short 'round' I just couldn't get it up again. After taking Viagra - AMAZING. It was like my body was 18 years old again. First erection after ~50 minutes from taking the pill, and the erections of steel easily lasted about 8-10 hours. My wife does not know I have taken Viagra but was pleasantly shocked by about 6 'full-on' rounds in bed in 10 hours! Yes, I had mild side effects, so I probably couldn't use it every day. Mild headaches, sinus congestion, and tiredness."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 54 and was good in sex until 53, and later I saw because of work stress and other life stresses and big gaps in the sex made my erectile dysfunction, and I believe one more reason when I was taking some medicine to control my blood pressure, those medicines also affect my sex process. I decided to start Viagra (Sildenafil) 60 mg in June 2020, and it worked well. Within two hours, it started working, and that goes up to four hours. No major side effects. So far, each time I see a little sinus, and then it goes away in 12 to 18 hours, and maybe very minor headache the next morning. In one month, I completed 10 episodes, it worked great with two to three days' gaps. I am also focusing on natural stuff which helps, like goat milk with almonds and other nuts, and reducing work stresses and unnecessary life stresses as well. Hope it will help you to understand my experience."

Sildenafil "Best results for me if I take the 50 mg dose before eating anything. After a meal, I find that Viagra does not help me get an erection for hours, if at all. If taken on an empty stomach, it works fast. I also get flushed, but this tells me that it's working. I get occasional headaches from Viagra, but the side effects are well worth it!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "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 effect. I gradually increased the dosage in 25 mg steps, each having more of an effect 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 backache the morning after (could have been from a dramatic increase in using those muscles), very slight headache (drank a lot of water to cure it), flushed. None of the side effects outweighed the sensation of dopamine being released, though."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I do not get anything-erection or hardness. No movement even with stimulation. I do have a rash on my chest since taking it, and I do get a headache when I take Viagra (100 mg nightly for 4 weeks now)."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I have tried both Viagra and Cialis. Both have their pros and cons. I get a better and more constant erection with Viagra. But it took over an hour to start working. The 10mg dose lasted about 4 hours, but there were some residual effects afterward. Cialis started working after about 30 mins, and it really carries on for a good 24-36 hours, but the quality of the erection wasn't as good. I suffered with the snuffles with both. I got a headache only with Viagra, but it wasn't a bad one, though."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Viagra is a great help for people who have erection problems. I have trouble holding it for more than 5 minutes, so Viagra 50 mg is the best solution for me. But the side effects are there as well, I experience headache and stuffy nose every time. And when I see the experiences here, it is a common problem."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 75 years old, in good health, and have been taking generic Viagra 100 mg for 5 years with great results. Side effects are flushing, headache, vision (everything seems brighter and whiter). Alcohol is a definite no! I can achieve an erection up to 24 hours after taking the medication. I have tried Cialis, which works equally as well but has additional side effects such as pain in the thighs and back. Definitely recommend taking Viagra for a fulfilling sexual experience!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 54 years old with ED. I recently tried sildenafil 20 mg for the first time. It is amazing how well it works for me. My erections are like they were when I was much younger. It enables us to have intercourse again. The strange part is it does not cause an erection on its own. You have to be aroused. The erection goes away after ejaculating. I am only mad that I waited so long. The only side effect I noticed is a dull headache. Not bad, and well worth it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Great med. I'm diabetic (45 yr old), and for the last 12 years, having ED gradually increased and hard to keep a sustainable erection. 100 mg works great for me and lasts up to 12 hrs. Some headaches, but aspirin or Advil help. Even generic med works good too."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Stuff is amazing. I have a really high sex drive, and my wife is 10 years younger. I'm 48 and have regular erections, but not like I did in my 20s. Honest to God, this stuff makes me feel 20. I take 3 of the 20mg pills about 1.5 hours before sex. Omg, I can go forever, rock hard, multiple positions, you name it. I do get the flushing of the face and a headache, but don't notice it during sex. I feel it afterwards, but who cares."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I've used Kemagra and Sildamax 100 mg 10-15 times now, and almost every time I got a positive effect from the pills. They got me the help I needed, and I was amazed every single time! Yes, there were some side effects from the drug, but nothing I couldn't live with. Of course, the first time was a bit scary, but as long as I knew what it was and why, then I didn't worry about it. One time when I tried it, I got a headache after our sexual intercourse, but I got rid of it by having an erection and sex one more time. So my experience is only positive, side effects or not! I can easily live with a blue-tinted vision in a couple of hours when I think about the help the drug gives me and what it means to me and my self-esteem!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 63 and have experienced mild ED symptoms for a couple of years. Usually, just occasional inability to maintain an erection. Finally tried sildenafil a couple of times. Honestly, I was amazed at the difference. I assume my ED has been encroaching for a while now without me being aware. I guess I didn’t really notice the decline until it became a problem. After 2 times taking one 20 mg tablet, I am sold. Only took it 30 minutes prior. This was the best sex I can remember having in the last 20 years. Really hard erection. It was like being a teenager but actually knowing what I’m doing. Lasted much longer, but incredible orgasm. Side effects were minimal. Both times I woke up a few hours later with a mild headache and a stuffy nose. Took ibuprofen and a Benadryl, and all was good. This was something that I wish I had tried years earlier."

For Sexual Dysfunction, SSRI Induced "I am a somewhat healthy 30-year-old male. Recently, my doctor prescribed me Zoloft for my anxiety. It is an SSRI. As you know, certain SSRIs (anti-depressants) may cause libido and erection issues, depending on your state of mind and chemical structure of your body. Well, unfortunately for me, from 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 effects or headaches. And it's ten times cheaper! If you're looking for an 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 nickname, lol. out-"

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 72 years old and first used sildenafil 7 years ago after a family tragedy 'killed' my libido for about a month. On restarting sex, only a soft erection was possible and no penetration. I got prescribed sildenafil 50mg, and right from the first use, it was very successful and took away the anxiety. Have used this ever since and am always very hard and capable of any penetration. Facial flushing/slight headache, only side effects. Now use 75mg dose and wait 90 mins to make sure if I had some alcohol."

Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Used Viagra as an alternate after Cialis. Cialis at first provided repeated strong erections in a 24-hour period after years of severe ED. However, after 3 to 4 uses, the erections were too weak and too short-lived to sustain intercourse, so I switched to Viagra. At first, results were good. I had fewer erections, but they were longer lasting than Cialis and quite firm. However, this only lasted 2 or 3 uses before the same symptoms appeared as with Cialis: erections too weak and short-lived for intercourse. Also, moderate to severe headache, stuffiness, and fullness like a severe head cold."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Just took half a 100 mg about 2 hours ago, got very red eyes and a slight headache. Nothing a few aspirin got rid of. My woman started very slowly caressing me, and not long after, I got a semi erect. But then, after more intense foreplay, I was hard enough to have intercourse but not solid hard. So I'm hoping for more stiffness as the night goes on. That's why I'm checking the other users' experiences. But I'm happy for my semi because I've been out of action for 15 years. I just turned 50, so if more happens, it's a bonus. But I'm going to take the other half soon just in case. But very red eyes, I wouldn't recommend not telling your partner that you have taken it because you will have to come up with some excuse for looking like a vampire. Also, no alcohol intake."
