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."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Been having some erectile dysfunction problems on and off this year, noticeable since November 2014. Decided to speak to my GP about it. Given Viagra, 50mg. Taken as needed just to get things kick-started again. Took it last night. Bit of flushing, a slight sore head but have had worse, even had one glass of wine an hour later. Action in bed - incredible. Rock-hard, large, could last a long time, enjoyable. Woke up again at 6 for round two - same again. And then another round at 8:30 am - same again. 12 hours later and if I get turned on, things are happening again. Seriously impressed and if it's got things kick-started again, then it's well worth it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am a 30-year-old disabled Army veteran. Got my prescription of Viagra in the mail today from the Department of Veterans Affairs medical system. Took it around 10:45 pm and around 11:30 pm started to become flushed in the face and had a slight headache. But when it came down to business, it works great. I stay harder longer and don't go soft as quickly. I can satisfy my significant other with great pleasure now. I am glad I talked to my doctor about my erectile dysfunction. I never would have thought that the VA system would ever give the pill to veterans who have erectile dysfunction. But they do."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 58. I have had issues with my erection for about 5 years now and rarely have sex. Took 50mg Viagra. All I can say is FABULOUS! Took about an hour to kick in but then lovely firm erections for a number of hours. Managed a number of ejaculations which was another bonus. Side effects were dizzy spell, very mild headache."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 59. Never had any issues with erectile dysfunction before. Five years ago, I experienced ED due to work stress. Tried Viagra and others and had the worst headache of my life. Tried it again a few months ago after starting testosterone replacement therapy. First, 10mg Cialis got me semi-hard to penetrate but didn't last long. Tried 50mg of Viagra last week and OMG! Felt like 19 years old. My wife loves it. I feel like a man again. Was advised by doc to also 'exercise' with a pump to improve blood flow. Six weeks later, I've grown in length and girth. It is crazy expensive but feel it's worth it now."

For Erectile Dysfunction "'Absolutely' amazing. 10 out of 10. Only mild headache as a side effect for approximately 4-5 hours. But this medicine is a miracle. I took 100 mg as a dose like 45 minutes before intercourse and it did wonders. We made love 6 times non-stop and I think we could continue. Saved my whole relationship. Owe that to Pfizer."

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."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm a 28-year-old guy with erection difficulty, mostly I think from performance anxiety and just life anxiety too. I've taken Viagra when I need it for over a year now and it is AMAZING. It will give you firm and lasting erections an hour before taking it. I take 50 mg but find sometimes I take 75 mg if I know I'll have a longer night with the girlfriend. Now, it is expensive, even with insurance it costs about $30 per 100 mg pill. So splitting it would be $15 per 50 mg dose but it is SOO worth it being happy with my girlfriend. It has improved confidence in my sex life immensely, not always worrying if I can get and maintain an erection. The side effects for me (but manageable): stuffy nose, headache, bloodshot eyes, heartburn."

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."

For Erectile Dysfunction "My partner has ED occasionally. He was advised to try Viagra. It was effective after about 2 hours when he achieved a really veiny, stiff erection. This was a great improvement and lasted as long as we needed and again the next morning, however, the side effects were unpleasant flu-like symptoms (i.e. headache, sore throat, blocked nose, etc.) which lasted for many days after. For this reason and due to the high expense we will only use this on 'special occasions' from now on, until we find an alternative."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 71 and still love sex with my wife. Sometimes I get distracted and lose partial erection, so I tried Viagra for the first time last night. This was after seeing my physician. OMG. We had drinks and dinner before going to bed. Took Viagra, and thirty min later was hard but only after being stimulated. I lasted until after I wore her out, not bragging, and I was able to make love again 30 min later. During the night after going asleep, I would get close to my wife and would get hard. I experienced this maybe 4 times during the night. I experienced some stuffiness and slight headache, but it was all worth it. Wow!"

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."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 48, and it makes me feel 20 again 'down there.' I take 25 mg on an empty stomach, pre-dissolved in water, and it works in 10 minutes. Side effects have been very mild: stuffy nose and an occasional light headache. It allows me to be very effective for about 4 to 6 hours with a quick recovery time. This is a great medicine, but don't overuse it. Taking it every day is not as sweet as once or twice a week."

"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!"

"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 tried Viagra last night for the first time and was surprised by how effectively it worked. I am 59 and achieved the strongest erection I have had in years. Now I am experiencing the headache and eyestrain described, but having sex like a teenager was worth it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "At 96, I use it when my wife will let me, if you know what I mean! At my age, I will only buy 10 pills at a time. Don't want to leave any behind when I go! Works better before a meal or early in the morning. I have had headaches and loss of vision, but I'm on my last lap anyhow."

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 "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 "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: 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. The most disturbing was 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)."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Well. What can I say - Viagra has been great. It works for about 6-7 hours with very minimal side effects. The only side effect I experienced was a mild headache the next day. I've been using it for 6 months now, and I haven't noticed any decreases in effectiveness/strength. I am only 29 years old though."
