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-"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 33, and every so often, I have issues staying hard. A friend gave me some sildenafil 20 mg, and wow!!! The only side effect I would say is that sometimes it’s nearly impossible to cum... like I have to really, really concentrate to make it happen. I take just one about 30-60 minutes before, and it’s all good! And for whomever said that we must be trying to up sales for some rubbish product... give it a try before you knock it. I’m not getting paid anything... I’m actually looking online to buy more as I came across this thread!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "At 70 years old, my GP prescribed Viagra due to ED issues. These ED issues have come about as a result of cardiovascular disease and age. The taking of blood pressure medication didn’t help. Up until then, I had no erectile issues. I now take a 20 mg tablet cut four ways to effectively equate to 5 mg. I always take the Viagra on an empty stomach and find it effective within 20 minutes and probably stays in the system for four or five hours, during which time I can easily obtain another erection. It’s made a huge difference to our relationship, whereas in the past, keeping an erection for penetration became a rarity and very frustrating for us both. The only two side effects that are noticeable with such a low dose are an upset stomach, which I put up with given the benefits, and that sometimes orgasm for me doesn’t happen. Prior to Viagra, orgasm was never an issue. I hope you find this review helpful."
