Any drawbacks to using Cialis?

Turn 40 this fall. 177lbs. 5'10". 15-16% (guesstimate) body fat.

Been on TRT for several months now and things are going great .... still getting blood work done every 6-8 weeks and doing some fine tuning to my protocol. Libido is not, and has never been, an issue. Since starting TRT nocturnal erections are a several times a week but not every night occurrence. Never rock hard.

Erections are good enough to do the deed but they are not like they used to be.

Diet is better than most. Exercise is several times a week and includes weights and cardio.

So .... what else should a fella look into to make the 'ol soldier stand a little firmer? I have milled this over for some time and Cialis is looking more and more enticing.
 
Cialis is great for what you describe, I recommend giving it a try. Try a modest dose first, 5 to 10 mg.

Downsides is that it can give you headaches (dose dependent), stuffy nose, and possibly it hurts your confidence a bit when you're not using it.
 
I would actually like to try the 2.5mg daily use stuff .... start as low as possible and see how it goes. Like I said, I am able to do the deed as is so hopefully it wont take a lot to get me back to where I want to be.
 
I believe Austinite wrote an article on Cialis, it's stickied somewhere and IIRC it has many benefits. Check it out.

The daily 2.5mg is dosing for BPH. That will probably help too, but you may not get the full effect.

It's a wonder drug, seriously. You'll wonder why the hell you didn't hop on it sooner. Austinite opened my eyes to the awesomeness that comes (no pun intended) from such a great chemical.

I can't state it in the TRT forum, but I do recommend asking in the AAS forum for an alternative place to acquire said drug for about 600x cheaper than your pharmacy. ;)
 
5mg daily ... that's a nice sized dose. Cialis does not work for everyone, but most people like it - a lot. That should bring you back to your teen years ... or even better. I have read that Cialis works better for folks with lower T levels ... but you are probably gonna need a new mattress.
 
yea.. my experience with cialis is that its great at 3mg a day... anything more and i get headaches up the ass and back pain

I forgot about that, I do get a bit of a headache from Cialis - does not last too long for me. Never noticed back pain, could be I just never connected that up to Cialis. It does indeed work great for me despite any side effects.
 
I *think my insurance will cover much of it. $77 for 30 of the 5mg pills.

What I got today was the free month trial from cialis.

I might try cutting in half and see how half dose does.
 
Well .... gotta say I love the stuff. I have been taking a 5mg pill every other day and does exactly what I wanted it to do.

Here is my problem .... my insurance company will not cover it for ED. Stupid. But it is what it is.

So I have this 11 refill script for a drug that walmart wants $231 to fill for a qty of 30.

I have looked at the coupons and all that jazz but not really getting anywhere.

I have seen several "online" pharmacies located in our neighbor to the north that offers what is supposed to be the real deal for a price I would be willing to pay .... but I have a feeling the reliability of said pharmacies is less than great.

Thoughts?

PM would be fine if discussion of such things is frowned upon in the open ....

There are site sponsors that offers it in liquid form for an EXTREMELY reasonable price, I have been using their product for about 8 months now and it is exactly as advertised.
 
Looks like that is the route I will be going ... RUI? looks like one bottle would last roughly 6 months doing 5MG a day.

I do 10mg a day and a bottle will last me a little over two months but it is still very reasonable for the cost. I have found that if I take it 30 minutes prier to going to the gym that I get amazing pumps, better than I have ever gotten using any of those pre workout drinks.
 
O.k. this seems to be a topic I keep coming across and since my test is low and I have the normal sides that go along with that, I figured I would give it a shot and just ordered some from RUI. Are the pumps in the gym really that good? Do you guys still drink a pre workout or just the Cialis? I want to start with 5mg, but was wondering how to measure it out since its in liquid form. Do you go buy a glass dropper with measurement markings on it or?

Yes the pumps are that good, pre workout drinks are a waste of money in my opinion but that is just my opinion. The liquid Cialis from RUI comes with a dosing syringe and it is easy to measure out a 5mg or 10mg dose.

Awesome thanks! I'm glad because I've been looking for a dropper everywhere I've been today and no one had one. Honestly if it wasn't for pre workout supplements I'd have a hard time getting to the gym. I used to love ephedrine nothing stacks up to the old ripped fuel from twin labs. I loved that stuff lol

Maybe if I get some test in my body I won't need a pre workout.

I buy the liquid and drop some in my preworkout. Amazing pumps. Helps with cardio. I guess I'm lucky I've dosed as high as 20 and have never had a headache. I don't take it on back day cause the pump is too much and causes pain. I personally think it's some of the best stuff I've used.
