For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Have taken 5 mg for about a year with great results until pharmacy switched to a different generic manufacturer. Unichem worked great for me; however, Sun Pharmaceuticals did not work."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I used testosterone and other steroids for bodybuilding for decades. While using the gear, my libido and erections were amazing. For a few years, the juice was causing problems in my marriage (short temper, irritability, general 'jerkiness'), my wife said, 'You choose, the juice or me!' So, I quit the gear, and my unit quit working. Once I got my natural testosterone production sorted, my erections were 'meh' at best. I consulted with my GP, and she prescribed Cialis 5 mg daily. Within a week, erection quality improved to 'pretty darn good', after a month, erections were 'holy sh*t, I'm a porn star!' I'm 53 and perform like I'm 18! Thank you, Cialis, for giving me my sex life and confidence back!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I take 5 mg daily and I am extremely happy with the product. I'm 60 and I am now able to maintain multiple erections daily and climax twice a day regularly and occasionally 3 times a day. I'm very happy with my life now whether I am masturbating or having sex with my wife. I used to be only able to climax 3-4 times a week but now I am able to climax 9-12 times a week and masturbate a couple of times a day without ejaculating also. My wife and I are very happy now thank you."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 52 years old and still sexually active, but was suffering from an unfortunate ED side effect from taking Tamsulosin. Spoke with my doctor for recommendations. He put me on a 5 mg dose of Tadalafil. Results were amazing! Hard and significant erection within hours! Can almost get hard at will now. My penis even hangs differently when flaccid. Much needed boost of confidence!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 52, and had a trip planned during which my girl was gonna visit me for a day. She is 32. Naturally, I was worried about whether I would be able to perform. Took 40 mg tadalafil, and boom. Worked wonders. In an hour, I climaxed 3 times and she had 5 orgasms. This is a godsend."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I've just crossed into my 60s and found that I was struggling to gain a strong erection and hold it; I've also been diagnosed with BPH and was taking 0.4 mg Tamsulosin daily in an effort to reduce frequent bathroom trips. After consulting with our family doctor, she recommended I stop the Tamsulosin and go with 5 mg Cialis daily. I followed her advice and started taking Cialis. My experience: for the first week, mild headaches (not requiring any painkillers) and towards the end of the week started experiencing lower back pain and joint aches. It got worse in the second week and although my pain tolerance is quite high, I found myself taking some painkillers to take the edge off as I really slowed down due to the discomfort. By the end of the second week, the headaches, back pain, and joint pain had all gone and my erections reminded me of my 20s and 30s. My wife and I couldn't be happier.. I would strongly recommend Cialis."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Well, I’ve been taking this drug, on and off, for about two years now. I am in my mid-50s, and this drug has been doing wonders for me. I have mild erectile dysfunction. This just gave me the boost I needed. I take 5mg when needed. Within two hours, I am ready to go with my wife. Every time I’ve used this, my wife is like, 'Whoa, you took your pill.' The pill is satisfying for me and definitely for her as well. For me, the effects of the pill last about 24 hours, maybe a little more. So I can wake up in the morning and be ready again. If my wife is not in the mood early in the morning, I still wake up with a raging erection and have an amazing masturbation session. The only side effect is the occasional mild to moderate headache the next day. No worries, the good effects far outweigh the side effects."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "My personally experienced results using 10 mg Cialis 30 min-2 hrs before any sexual activity: 1) Harder erections (rigid) 2) Firmer penetrations (she noticed!) 3) Longer stamina (prolonged sex) 4) Stronger ejaculations (wow!) 5) Quicker recovery (ready to go again sooner) 6) Higher libido (sexually charged energy) 7) Better mental well-being (more confidence in performance) *All during the effectiveness time of 36 hours. Personal sexual activity: increased from 2-3 times a month to an average of 35 times per month! (“Successful conclusions” were 4-6 times for each dosage, in a 36-hour period) Personal side effects: 1) Congestion 2) Occasional back muscle pain Overall conclusion: highly effective!! I would definitely recommend to anyone with ED issues as an incredible option."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am a healthy male of 57, no big belly, not that great on exercising but regularly do a few dozen squats and push-ups nearly every day. Having trouble maintaining an erection for more than 1-2 minutes, and it may be only 70-80% max hardness. The dosage of 10mg only works reasonably well for the first few times, then it became so-so. Once I asked for a 20mg dosage from my doctor, it works much better, I can maintain it for 20-30 minutes in varying 80-95% hardness. The only side effect for me is some blocked sinuses if lying down, which is understandable. Hopefully, this will work for a long time and every time, as I am afraid the 20mg dosage will lose its effect in the future, as happened with the 10mg dose because I have tried going back to 10mg as an experiment, but it does not work anymore. The 'hardness' effect lasts a bit over 24 hours for me, and after 2 hours after taking the pill (not 30 min as advertised). Conclusion: 20mg dosage every 24 hours, at least 1 hour before sex."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am a healthy male in my 30s, married. I'm a very busy husband and a father. I have a lot of stress and responsibility on my plate from my career and being tired from demanding responsibilities. I usually get an erection easily. But when I get intimate with my wife, after a few minutes, I lose hardness and my penis goes 50% limp, and if I don't get stimulated or reassured, then it goes 80% limp, ending in interruption or postponing it till another time. It caused a lot of frustration for me, e.g., self-esteem, confidence. Sex is one of the most important aspects of my relationship. I got Cialis 20 mg. It made me feel semi-aroused through the day and night, thinking about sex, feeling tingly, warm, and plump in the glans, sensual, even rubbing against my underwear my penis would ache, yearning for a good bj. I ejaculated 6 times in 36 hours. Mild headache and stuffy nose. The downside is the pill lasts a long time-can be a distracting feeling horny all day."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Had trouble keeping fully erect, talked with doctor and started with 20 mg. Takes about 15 to 20 minutes to kick in, then lasts a day and a half. Wife is back to being fully satisfied and having sex several times a week. She loves the fact it increases circulation, as even if I’m limp, it appears bigger and longer, which gets her aroused more easily. No side effects unless you count a smile on your wife’s face."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I have used both Viagra and Tadalafil over a period of several years and must say that, in my opinion, Tadalafil is a far superior product to Viagra... with absolutely no side effects, unlike Viagra, which gave me blurry vision and slight headaches each morning, similar to a hangover... the daily option with Tadalafil is also very good... I am an older man and the daily option is also good... bringing back memories of my youth... ever ready... ps if you have benign prostate enlargement, it is also a treatment for this (unlike Viagra)... I would score 10/10 for Tadalafil... and 3/10 for Viagra."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Used to take 5 mg daily with some benefit for both ED and BPH. Now taking Alfuzosin 10 mg daily and Tadalafil 20 mg twice weekly for symptoms. Erections and ejaculations are so much better with the higher dose. BPH symptoms also much improved. Some headaches initially from Tadalafil, but these faded away once my body became used to the drugs/higher dosage. Taking plenty of water to ensure good hydration helps minimize any side effects."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Before taking the 5 mg tablet daily, I had trouble maintaining an erection. I could only cum 4 times a week on average, but now I am able to cum up to 50-70 times a month. I'm able to maintain multiple erections daily for an hour or more each time. Very happy with the product."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Have been taking tadalafil for a few months, took a week to kick in, and was really surprised at results, stronger and better erections, also great to have 'morning wood' back again, feel like I have my youth back. 5 mg daily also stops nightly visits to the bathroom and has me in a state of readiness when my wife gets friendly. Should have started daily tadalafil years ago, never mind Viagra, this is on another planet."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I was not able to maintain an erection, soon after penetration, my erection would fade before we could finish sex. It was getting very frustrating for us both, to say the least. I went to the doctor and got 10 mg Cialis. Now my erections are rock solid, and I can last longer now than when I was 20 years old, and my wife says it is bigger, which makes her very happy. Could not recommend this drug enough, it has totally changed our sex life and given me the confidence to try new things in the bedroom we would never have dreamed of. Give this a try, it will change your sex life beyond your wildest dreams. Enjoy."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I have years of experience here. I'm 72. Initially, I was prescribed this drug for an enlarged prostate. I started and stopped the drug for various reasons not associated with this drug's use. That said, tadalafil is an awesome drug. It has cured my BPH and came with a bonus of diabetes-induced erectile dysfunction. Erections are now easy. I take 10 mg tablets daily."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I was on Viagra (100 mg) for 4 years, and everything was good. I read about the benefits of tadalafil and asked my doctor if we could review my ED medication. I was prescribed 5 mg of daily tadalafil, and it took about 5 days for the meds to kick in. Erections are far stronger and last longer. It also treats my BPH symptoms, which is an added bonus. I have experienced no side effects, and taking the meds fits in well with my daily routine. I have better sex at 70 years old than when I was younger, I asked my doctor to keep this as a long-term treatment for me. Viagra did the job, but tadalafil is on another level. I plan to keep my cupboard fully stocked."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "A daily dosage for a year, then I upped it to 2 pills daily, better results. Now on 20mg, it's back hard as a rock again. Love it! At age 68, feels great to have it back and hard, my partner loves it again."

For Erectile Dysfunction "It worked an hour after I took it. I got the results I expected. After taking the third pill, I got leg pain. It was like a burning cramping feeling, this lasted about 48 hours and started going away. A week later, I am getting erections like an 18-year-old, my member is back to looking thick and full. My erections are very hard and I can get another erection after I finish. I would certainly recommend pushing through the leg pain. It is well worth it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Update to previous review. I'm now 78 and in great shape, 5'9'', 150 pounds. About 17 years ago, I started suffering from ED. My doc put me on 2.5 mg as needed. It worked! My erections were the best I had had in years. Well, 'as needed' turned out to be almost daily with my new lady friend. As I've gotten older, the as-needed dosage increased to 10 mg, but it still worked. Last year, my doc asked me if I thought the dosage was working as I wished. I said it was, but at times I had to say to my lady friend, 'Wait, give me about an hour.' He told me to start taking the 10mg every third day and if I knew we were going to have sex, take a 2.5mg 30 minutes before. Recently, I've been losing firmness during intercourse, so my doc prescribed 20mg every 3rd day. I've had intercourse just 3 times since the increased dosage. Wow! Full hard erections for well over 20 minutes until ejaculation. A great change for our sex life."
