"I fax my prescription to a a Canadian pharmacy and receive a 90 day supply. It is a generic and cost $30 per month. It works tremendously well as I found out when I ran out for a month. Now after a few days back on it I’m doing great again. I’m taking it for BPH but in helps me to have a stronger erection that lasts to climax. No side effects that I notice. I’m in my early sixties. I tried Flonase but it made things worse for me"

"After taking the drug Cialis I had medium success but over the next 12 hours developed several back pain such that I could barely walk. This continued for several days. I took it again a couple of weeks later ... and the same thing! Have tried again over a period of several years."

"Cialis 5mg daily has reduced frequent and spotty urination with no side effects. However it has done nothing for ED. I have not had a prostrate exam since taking Cialis but assume it is reduced in size."

"I used Cialis 5mg per day for benign prostate enlargement from November 2013 until November 2015. Although it was apparently effective for limiting prostate problems, since I stopped it in November 2015 I am 99% sure that, as a person with zero history of epilepsy, it caused me to suffer from Transient Epileptic Amnesia [TEA] with the TEA during 2014 being unrecognised due to nocturnal episodes. There is also a strong possibility that my gradual increases in food sensitivities during this period leading to Irrritable Bowel Syndrome was linked to Cialis. This drug should be withdrawn right away for this condition."

"I started taking 5 mg Cialis daily because of bothersome BPH during the day. (I did not have problems during the night.) After only a couple of weeks, I was better, and in less than 2 months, BPH was not a problem. I do have a somewhat stuffy nose occasionally, but this is minor. I consider myself fortunate to have seen BPH advertisements on television because the ads prompted me to ask my doctor about Cialis."

"I’m in my 20s on this for BPH symptoms. Works very well, reduced trips to the bathroom in the morning from 3-4 times to just one trip. I’ve been on this medication for 2 months now. In my opinion it’s far superior to flomax for this issue. The added side effect of being able to go round after round in the bedroom is cool as well."

"Take Flomax for bph. So so results with flomax. Added .5 TDalifil with good results in 1 day. By 3rd day had to stop due to bad back pain and headache.

"I'm a 50 year old with enlarged prostate that caused frequent NEED to urinate and a feeling of never quite emptying my bladder. ED wasn't much of a problem and if there were any issues it was most likely psychological. Within the first few days there was a noticeable difference in frequency and a feeling of emptying my bladder. No bad side effects. Just the flushing and "hot" episodes. I am on a few meds and I know there will be side effects for everything. I just see what is acceptable and work with it. Since my insurance will authorize this medication's use and the side-effects for me are pretty insignificant, I will continue to use it for it's benefits! Great med for my issues!"

"After several years trying a lot of different drugs for my enlarged prostate I have now the best treatment protocol: Tadalafil 5mg + Doxazosin 1mg ((half of a pill) at bed time. And they also improved a lot my sexual life. Try it!"

"I was taking the daily 5 mg dose, initially to see if it helped with my BPH symptoms and ED. We found it did virtually nothing to improve my BPH symptoms, but also that it was the only dose my insurance would cover and only if it was prescribed for BPH and NOT for ED! (Go figure!) I continued for about 4 years on 5 mg daily. During that same timeframe, I started experiencing brutal lower back pain during the night, causing sleep loss, and getting out of bed and standing in the morning became almost excruciating. At 68 y/o, I thought it was just age catching up with me. Well, when I recently ran out, I decided to take a break, partly for financial reasons and partly because I wasn't experiencing enough benefits in the ED to justify the pricey copays. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE and delight, my severe back pain disappeared completely in only a few days! What a hard learned lesson! (no pun intended!)"

"Waited for tadalafil to become generic as long as I could. Price for cialis way too much. Found online and bought. I had a little back ache for the first day or two then no side effects. I haven't been back to Dr to see if BPH has improved, but way awesome erection and climax improvement. If loving tadalafil is wrong I'll never be right. I take 5mg per day by splitting a 20mg. I know this is not recommended but it is the most economical way and not supposed to split - it works great so I'm OK with it. Supposed to be generic in USA in 2018."

"Works great on BPH ,doctor switches every 6 months from flomax and 6 months on Cialis .That way body don't get adjusted to one are the other. Side effects can be bothersome but worth it, cutback dosage to half every other day. Able sleep all night without going to bathroom often. Works great."

"I've tried Viagra and found it worked pretty well, I had some side effects namely heart burn and headaches so thought I'd try Cialis to see if I suffered from the same effects. I started off by taking 10mg of Cialis and after an hour I had a slight stirring in the loins but that was about it, so took the remainder of the dosage (10mg) and it helped slightly but was still less that I would normally get without any medication, very disappointed and to top it all I've had heart burn most of the following day. I bought a pack of 8 costing a reasonable amount to add to the situation. Guess it works for some and not others."

"75 next year and despite gym work, young attitude, good looks and bod (for 74) prostate and ED have been real problems for some time. Tried 5 mgs daily for almost 1 month, and prostate benefits not too impressive. Depending on mood (psychological issue?) 10 to 20 mgs good for ED if not a bit mechanical. May trial again for a while though price here in Oz round $150 for 4 weeks @ 5mgs a day is no plus!"

"I can urinate easily with noticably better flow when I take Cialis 20 mg for ED. I also take flomax. I tried 5 mg Cialis daily for 3 weeks but side effects became too much and I had to stop. The aches and pains were not worth the benefit. If I was an old guy with a young bimbo I would take 5 mg daily to satisfy her. 5mg daily after a week let me have erections on demand. I still use 20 mg occaisionally for ED and it works great and lasts for 2 days. I prefer Levitra 20 mg for ED because the side effects don't last as long."

"I'm 62 and was prescribed 5 mg Cialis by my urologist for BPH and mild ED. It worked very well for both the first day, but then I started to develop severe back pain so that I could hardly stand up. I discontinued for 2 days taking Aleve, but then cut the pill down (use a sharp knife) to 2.5mg each morning and that works just fine. So far, I need to urinate maybe once in the night, don't have the crazy urgency in the day, and enjoy erections and orgasms whenever I want to. Ejaculation is super strong and productive. Previously I had tried Flomax, but all that did was create more ED. Extremely happy with Cialis at 2.5mg each morning. Taking L-Arginine every evening doesn't hurt either."

"Was considering surgery for BPH. Had significant problems urinating. Was already on Flomax, wasn’t helping much. Just one day after starting 5mg Tadalafil symptoms improved significantly. After several days I experienced what others mentioned - low back and thigh pain. That was resolved by Tylenol and ibuprofen. That symptom gradually diminished after a couple weeks so don’t give up right away. There will be some symptoms from vascular congestion but most are minor and worth it for the relief of BPH symptoms."

"This started 8 months ago. I have urgency all day and most days urinating almost hourly or less than. The doctor did the finger check and said your prostate checks out as in the normal range approx. 30mm. But with my symptoms and age 60+, Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was likely. The doctor put me on 5mg daily. After 2+ months on this, it’s hardly changed my symptoms. I can go an hour but only had 3 days of making it past 1.5 hrs between bathroom trips. But the wife enjoys the obvious benefits. As for my BPH, it really has only made a small difference. I have had no major side effects. I give it 5 stars for good sex, and 3 stars for BPH thus the average is 4"
