For Erectile Dysfunction "68 years old. My problem was loss of erection in the act itself. Wife and I started avoiding sex altogether in order to avoid the congestion and frustration from unfinished sex. We were frustrated and angry all the time. Tried Viagra...headaches for days. Tried Cialis...palpitations (scary ones.) Levitra 5 mg works in 30 minutes, lasts 12 to 15 hours, well into the next day. Slight flushing, stuffiness, headache, but worth it. Major 'teenage' erections. We are doing 2 times a week now, not enough for me, but about all we can manage with busy schedules. While two-furs and three-furs are great during the night and again the next morning, second and third ejaculations are rare. Happy couple!!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "Have been experiencing mild erectile dysfunction for several years, but never been a major problem until recently. Mainly because of a high stress level with work and some other things. My doctor gave me a prescription for 20 mg Levitra. I didn't feel like I needed the whole 20 mg, so I cut it in half. I took it about an hour before bedtime, and just a few minutes later I could feel it kick in. We went 2 rounds last night, and I could have gone a few more, and I'm still feeling it working this morning. The only side effect was some stuffiness but nothing too bad, and a mild headache that went away with some aspirin."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I had tried Viagra and Cialis before Levitra. With Viagra 50mg I got a good erection, but I also got heartburn, a stuffy nose, and a headache. With Cialis 5mg I got almost no results, but with Levitra 10mg, I had a good erection that lasted, with very little heartburn, stuffy nose, or headache afterward, and another good erection the next morning."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Many men complain of mild stuffiness, headaches, nausea, palpitations, etc. Advice: Try lower doses until the effect isn't enough. Example: My Doc gave me a few 20mg Levitra to try out. Did that. Love it but: WHOA! Way too strong for me. Stuffy nose, mild pulse racing, mild headache. 1. Cut dose by half, still a bit much for me, as side effects persisted to some degree. 2. Cut dose in half again, JUST RIGHT! Side effects almost unnoticeable. Same with Vardenafil. Sometimes all I need is a small 'chip' of it to get'er done. Dissolve under tongue."

For Erectile Dysfunction "My doctor gave me some 20 mg Levitra. I took one, it didn't do anything. So I took another an hour later. I busted like 10 nuts in one day, and my dick is still hard after two days, still busting nuts. The only bad thing is I have a terrible headache, almost bringing me to my knees. Levitra rocks! But I won't be taking two anymore, it nearly killed me."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I had a few tablets tested before, and that's why I know how to use them. But the problem with those tablets was that they gave me headaches. However, using Levitra was amazing, for it has no side effects. What I did find unusual is that you should NOT take it with food, you should take it on an empty stomach. If you had something to eat, then wait for at least 3 to 4 hours before taking the Levitra tablet. Once you take it, wait for 15 to 20 minutes before action. So you can eat food after you take the Levitra tablet on an empty stomach, and it will work 100%."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Tried Levitra for the first time last night. Great sex last night and twice again this morning. Wow! Changed from Viagra and have tried Cialis. Both others worked, but not near as effective as Levitra for me. I am diabetic and over 60. Mild headache afterwards."

For Erectile Dysfunction "In the first round after using my trial Levitra pill, I asked my partner how she felt compared to Cialis, and she said it was harder, rounder, and longer, and that I should forget Cialis. We're both 57. That's the first time that has ever happened. The satisfaction of hearing that was worth the congestion and headache. Sign me up for a prescription!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 57 and have tried all the popular ED meds. Having low T makes getting and keeping an erection a problem, but I personally like Levitra 20 mg. I can get rock hard within 20 or 30 minutes of taking it, and it's good for several hours afterwards. I had 3 orgasms within a 6-7 hour time frame, which is about what I could do at age 20, so impressive. Mild headache, flushing, and nausea, but not bad. Viagra gave me similar results but not as effective for as long as the Levitra. Cialis is a no-go for me. Bad leg cramps."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am a 36-year-old male. From time to time, I have a problem maintaining an erection when engaging in sex. No problem during foreplay. My doctor wrote me a script for Levitra, and it was amazing. I was 16 again and a superman in the sack. I did have a feeling of congestion and occasional headache but it is worth it. The downfall is that you need to know in advance when exactly you will be sexually active. So much for romance and spontaneity. It is also very expensive."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I've tried all of the big three multiple times, and Levitra is the clear winner. Cialis doesn't give the rock-hard results that Viagra and Levitra do, and you get a headache for it. Levitra works faster than Viagra and definitely lasts longer. On an empty stomach, I'm ready to go in twenty minutes and can go even the next day on the same dose with Levitra. Viagra works, but takes at least 30 minutes and sometimes longer to get results. You have maybe three good hours with the Vs."

For Erectile Dysfunction "After turning 53, I noticed I was having some issues getting a good, hard erection to comfortably penetrate my wife. Sex is now awesome, and I now outlast my wife. I was prescribed the 20 mg pill, but use a pill cutter, as 10 mg is a better dose for me and lessens the facial flushing and mild headache from the full dose, and sometimes 5 mg works well as well."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Solid erection and great sex, but didn't get an erection for hours afterward (unlike Viagra). Side effects the next day were - tummy upset and headache/nausea. I guess I have to be careful - I had a few drinks beforehand (will need to cut that out). I also suffer from low blood pressure."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Surprisingly, good. I took a 10 mg tablet, and 20 min later I was performing at my peak. Felt bigger and stronger and didn't experience the headaches that I had with the others. It also seemed to still be in my system a day or so later."

For Erectile Dysfunction "20 mg and WOW... better stamina than ever before. Incredible. The only side effects were slight headache and flushed face, pounding on door and walls from hotel patrons next door who couldn't sleep from all the screeching and thrashing. Awesome."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Experience is generally very positive. Mostly strong results with manageable flushing and head pressure. Not really bad enough to be called a headache. However, there have been a few times that the drug has let me down with good sexual stimulation. I have wondered if the drug interfered with orgasm, but maybe that’s just the reality of being 63. Fortunately, I maintained an erection, so I was able to please my partner (a lot), which was more important to me than my orgasm. The drug indications are that it can be taken without regard to food, but avoid just grapefruit. I am reading a few reviews online that taking it with an empty stomach produces better results. I may try that. Sometimes when I take it, I feel no symptoms at all, and that’s when I sometimes think it may not be successful. I’m wondering if it’s possible to build up a tolerance to it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Works great. I have not had any side effects, no headache or vision problems. 50 years old and still going strong thanks to Levitra. A half hour before the foreplay works for me. Sexual activity has lasted as long as an hour and a half after that, old age sets in. Most times, I'm good for 45 to 60 minutes of HARD action."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I got a 20 mg sample from my doctor, and following his advice, I cut the tablet in half for 10 mg. Although effective, I experienced troublesome side effects. Fast heartbeat, low blood pressure, headache, muscle pain, back pain, ringing in the ears, and abnormal orgasm. (Orgasm happened a few seconds before I could feel it.) On the plus side, it seems to be a powerful medicine, but it is not right for me. I will try a lower dose of a less powerful medication."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I used 10 mg Levitra for the first time. Felt it starting to work after about 1 hour. Certainly fuller and wider but not longer, but still couldn't come. No headaches. Tiny bit of face flushing, but did have 1 large glass of white wine to relax before initiating anything. Think if I had taken 20 mg, it would have done the trick as 10 mg too weak for me and much better than Viagra or Cialis. Will definitely use again, but 20 mg next time."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Used this pill at 5 mg, and it worked, but the erection was uncomfortable (too hard). It caused congestion and a severe headache within 20 minutes of taking the pill. Have tried Viagra and found better results from 50 mg of that. Levitra worked, but would not recommend it as much as Viagra."

For Erectile Dysfunction "It’s probably individual. Try all three main ED drugs and choose the one best for you at the moment. I’ve tried all three. Cialis is in a different class. I get no side effects until I’ve been taking it for 4-5 days in a row. Then I get leg cramps. I get some minor headaches. Viagra and Levitra are similar. Nasal stuffiness is worse with Viagra. Stomach upset is worse with Levitra, so that’s a wash. Both take an hour to reach full effect. Viagra lasts longer, but Levitra is more intense. Pick your poison!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I guess it worked for ED issues, but had a headache so bad I thought it gave me an aneurysm. Tried it a few times, same result. Now, when having sex, I get the same terrible headache. Cannot function and leaves me unable to even move sometimes. Was prescribed another med to take before attempting sex to prevent headache, but 90+ percent of the time, it's bad and debilitating. Did not have headaches during sex before trying it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Taking 20 mg, all I can say is 'guess it is ok, when it works.' I have tried the top three oral medications for ED. I can say that when it works, it stimulates a very firm erection. However, I have begun to feel like as soon as it takes effect, I had better take advantage. I normally do suffer headaches, mild to moderate, and get very flushed. We also have noticed that the time it takes to start working has varied from 1 - 4 hours."

For Erectile Dysfunction "1st use. Worked well to achieve and maintain erection. I'm one of the folks that got significant side effects with 10 mg and am on lisinopril for blood pressure. 12 hours after taking Levitra and blood pressure meds, my blood pressure went up, mild headache throughout the day became severe, and significant stomach flu symptoms. After about 4 hours, symptoms subsided. Woke up next morning feeling like the day after the flu. Dr. advised taking half BP medicine in the morning, half in the afternoon, with Levitra somewhere in between. The BP medicine wearing off combined with residual Levitra likely cause of symptoms. Think next time will try 5 mg."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I can do it twice in about an hour. Taking Norco with Levitra: I get much smaller but last longer. Stopped taking Norco for 4 days. A lot bigger and harder. Results in about 20 minutes, but if I wait 2.5 hours, the best results. 14 hours later, I wake up after sleeping 8 hours, waking up at 8 a.m., could go again at full size...but she never stays over. But I have a problem starting at around 11 a.m.: headache and bad depression for the rest of the day till 10 p.m. bedtime."
