For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I'm 60 and noticed BPH symptoms. A consultant confirmed this and tried me on Tamulosin (cheap!!). My body couldn't get on with Tamulosin (dizzy, reduced semen volume, retro-ejaculation). Tried Tadalafil (5mg daily). After three days, had indigestion/heartburn and lower back/upper leg ache. Stopped taking on the 4th day and by the 5th day, I was okay again. Decided to take Tadalafil for two days, then stop for the third day, etc. Did this for a week. This worked well - little heartburn, no back pain. I risked taking the drug daily again and was okay! Now been taking for three weeks - very little indigestion, no back pain. I don't have urgency to pee and often don't need to get up at night. Not sure how long it takes for the drug to have optimum effect but okay after three weeks! Still have reduced semen volume (from the Tamulosin) and numerous nocturnal erections! Just like being a lad again! I pay 8.80 GBP (standard National Health charge) per month for a month's supply."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I like to give some assessment. Buy a 20 mg, split into two halves. Take half with or without food at around 7 PM. Don’t know if it works after half an hour or two hours, but you can perform well during the prescribed time. Sleep and relax. You'll notice an amazing thing at 3-4 AM: harder manhood with increased girth. Thumbs up - harder erection - increased girth - longer drive - regain erection again after 4-5 hours with the same energy, so time for longer drive increased again. And finally, full confidence (similarly understand like this: a small hydraulic jack is extreme enough to lift up a heavier vehicle). Take 10 mg one time. Prescription says it lasts 36 hours, but it actually lasts 3-4 days. Thumbs down - extremely bad back pain, waist pain, thigh and leg pain, especially when you are lying on bed or trying to sleep. The cons last as long as the pros (pains as long as the pill effects last). Painkiller relieves for a short time."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I was prescribed Cialis for ED after prostate surgery. I tried the 5 mg daily, and the side effects after 4 days were severe back pain, severe leg pain, and the general feeling of unwellness. I was then prescribed the 20 mg dose as a one-off, this also did not help and had similar side effects."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I had poor erection (70%) and quick ejaculations (less than 1 min). I took the combination of tadalafil 10 mg and dapoxetine 30 mg on a Friday evening at 4 pm. I tried my first intercourse at 6 pm. The erection was very hard but not pleasurable. I ejaculated as usual in less than 1 minute. The next day morning at 6 am, I woke up with a pleasing and strong erection. It was rock hard and very pleasurable. I lasted for a full 7 minutes inside her, apart from the foreplay 5 minutes with full erection. The day was heaven-like. I did not try sex again. The next morning, the hell immediately opened. I got severe lower back pain, hip pain, and leg pain. When I got up, I felt like losing balance. The situation continues still now (2 pm) for 10 hours. I feel like I am in hellish heaven."

Tadalafil for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "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 backache for the first day or two, then no side effects. I haven't been back to the doctor 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 5 mg per day by splitting a 20 mg. I know this is not recommended, but it is the most economical way and not supposed to split - it works great, so I'm okay with it. Supposed to be generic in the USA in 2018."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Levitra is the most effective ED drug with the weakest side effects. All three cause unpleasant side effects that get worse once you pass 60, especially back and leg pain. The side effects are dosage related. Cialis stays in your system for a couple of days and kicks in within 20 minutes of taking it. But it has the strongest negative side effects, especially back and leg pain. I also use 'gear.' Beware OTC meds that contribute to ED, antacids, antihistamines, some NSAIDs, and melatonin. And even one glass of wine or a full stomach can worsen ED, so I like to have sex in the morning or before cocktail hour."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Age 68. I have taken Cialis for 6 years. My first dose was 10mg. It worked way better than Levitra. However, 20mg makes me better than I was at 20. I tried taking the 5mg daily, but really can't afford the $337 per month. The 5mg daily gave me the ability to achieve and maintain an erection any time. I now take 10mg every 72 hours. I get really great erections and my wife, 65, likes it. It works after 30 minutes on an empty stomach, but the full effect takes about 2 hours. It works great for 36 hours, and not too bad for another 24 hours, and just okay erections until I take 10mg again after 72 hours. A slight headache and/or backache sometimes occurs, but nothing too serious."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I experienced much harder and longer-lasting erections, which in turn increased length and girth back to a younger time, which made things more enjoyable for my wife and me. Even found myself waking with an erection, which I didn't realize I had missed so much. The one side effect was the lower back ache that lasted several days, but it was worth it. It was a free trial, and I received several samples from my doctor. Otherwise, now I can't afford them, and they aren't covered under my insurance."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I take Cialis daily 5mg. I have been on it for 3 months. I did everything in the book to help my erections from eating well, exercising, testosterone therapy, etc. None of it helped my erections become stable and dependable. So, because my erections were 50/50, I suffered emotionally, and it made it worse. When I started taking Cialis, I began at 2.5mg. Symptoms were back pain and headaches for a while. It took about a week, and my erections improved. Over the 3 months, I increased to 5mg. Side effects are little to none. At this dosage, I get an erection every time, and it has not failed me. If you suffer from mild to moderate erection issues like I had, don't hesitate to give it a try. Side effects suck at first for me anyway, but they go away."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I started this med for BPH, and it worked okay, still early. The extra benefit was the way it works for ED. First of all, there are some side effects that hopefully most can get through as more of an annoyance than a serious long-term effect. Yes, it will give you one heck of a back, or legs, or neck ache. I increased my magnesium and calcium intake, and that solved it for the most part. There should be a way to get past those aches. The difference vs. Viagra is that Cialis' side effects are very mild for stuffiness, flushing, and eye issues. Also, it lasts longer as Viagra wears off. You will always be larger flaccid and sustain an erection longer. I usually lost stamina with V during sex, and sometimes later it was back. Cialis, anytime you are aroused."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I took this medication daily for almost a year. It works great and allows for natural sexual intimacy without annoying drug scheduling intake problems. Unfortunately, I had to stop taking it due to increasing, debilitating lower back pains - one of the known side effects of this medication."

Tadalafil for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "My doctor suggested Cialis 5 mg daily to treat prostate enlargement, however, from day 1 to day 5, I was suffering from back pain with chest burning like a heart attack, so my doctor stopped it immediately. Now I am using 0.25 mg half a day before sex. It is very good for erection and also to relieve prostate discomfort during ejaculation."

Tadalafil for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "61 years old. I was on Hytrin for 14 years but started having extreme pelvic and back pain. I tried Rapaflo, but that didn't work at all. Cialis 5 mg daily immediately fixed my ED problems, but wasn't a miracle cure for my BPH. I can now sleep for 4-5 hours instead of 2-3, but urine flow still isn't great. At first, it caused intense back and pelvic pain from Day 2 through Day 7, then stopped. I took pain meds from Day 3 through 7, which helped immensely. Fortunately, my insurance agreed to cover this with a small co-pay. Overall, well worth the trouble and first week's pain."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "At 62, I began to notice lazy erections. Tried many self-directed strategies including no alcohol, changes of venue, positions, etc., with little success. At 63, I got Cialis prescription for 20 mg. First weekend was great... woweezowee. The least thought of loving had my 'buddy' very attentive. My wife was also amazed. The wood stuck around for the entire event and returned in earnest very soon after. Try this, guys, you'll like it. Some flushing and a small backache but Ibuprofen took care of that."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "As recommended by my urologist, I began taking the 20mg pill every 2 days. After about 2 doses, I began to have a horrible back ache and headache. I stopped taking it for about a week and the joint pain faded away. I reported this to my doctor and he recommended cutting the pill into 3 parts. Now I take 1/3 every other day with no side effects. Erections are strong and last as long as necessary. Also works for 2 days consistently regardless of how many times I get an erection in that time. Wife and I both can't believe it works so well and produces such 'big' results!"

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 56 with high blood pressure and began losing the hardness. I looked for help. Taking the 5mg daily use, and it worked like magic. The first time I used it, it was as hard as a rock. I experienced negative side effects of lower back and leg pain, but it only happened once. Thereafter, everything went well. Sometimes I have a stuffy nose in the morning. This medication gets you hard and keeps you hard, it works in about 45 minutes after taking. Due to the expense, I take it on Thursdays to Sundays. You can skip a couple of days, and it still works. I even wake up with the morning woody. Wow, it's good to be back. Also, make sure to use the free Cialis voucher for 30 days of free pills to save some money."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Took 10 mg Cialis. It worked well, but I experienced horrific back pains while jogging. I had to stop every 10 minutes and rest until the pain went away. Finally, I had to stop my daily exercise for three days. Trust me, exercise is as important to me as sex. I didn't have this problem with Viagra."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "No doubt that Cialis is one of the best. I'm 58 and have been taking the 20 mg Cialis for several years with very positive and long-lasting results. I've found out that cutting the 20 mg by half still gives a good and hard erection and alleviates the side effects such as headache, lower back pain, and blurred vision. However, I think that Cialis could be better in a softer form for a faster reaction (It takes a few good hours if taken after food and drink)."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "Suffered with ED for years. Had slowly gotten worse to the point of zero erections. My urologist prescribed Cialis. The first time I tried it, results were poor: a few flaccid, short-lived erections. I called my doctor, and he said try again, as it might not work the first time. The second time was fantastic. The second time was almost as good as the first. The third time, poor results: only one erection capable of intercourse. The fourth time, even worse, fifth time, nothing at all. Switched to Viagra on the doctor's suggestion. Cialis side effects were moderate headache, moderate backache, stuffiness, and sinus pressure."

Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction "I am 55 years old. Began taking Cialis at the doctor's suggestion due to side effects with Viagra (smashing headaches). Began taking 10 mg Cialis every three days and found it to be very effective with no side effects. After six days of use, I developed lower back pain and transient pains/aches in my lower legs. Tolerable; but not fun to deal with. May switch from continuous use to use as needed or switch to the 5 mg dosage. Very effective."
